I was looking to find this pack shower specifically, as I had bought a similar one (from a different maker) like 10 years ago. This model is designed better in many ways-- this has a joint/connection feature where you can remove the tubing to clean it/wash it, which is helpful. It is a good size; it holds several (5) gallons of water. This pack shower is way better than all the others on the market due to the large opening; It is much easier to fill, and it hangs on a tree branch very nicely alone or with a caribiner. Anytime we go camping we set it up; it works great for a hand/face washing station, rinsing dishes or showering.
For backpacking, this pack is great-- you can gather your water from the source in the pack shower then move it away from the water source to filter your drinking water with less risk of contamination than trying to filter water directly from the lake or river.
It is made of durable material. My only dislike is the older model I have has a mesh pocket affixed to the front that is convenient to hold soap, sponge or whatever. This one does not have that feature, but it has two velcro fasteners that allows you to position/secure the hose/nozzle. One caution-- while the little shower nozzle plastic piece fits fairly securely in the plastic tubing, but ours has fallen out (we lost one in a river) so watch out for this and make sure it's still attached and accounted for as you move or port the pack around.
