The Nemo Helio Pressure Shower is a portable, pressurized camping shower designed to give you a reliable stream of water when you’re away from fixed facilities. With an 11 L capacity and a compact roll-up design, it’s a straightforward way to rinse off dirt, gear or sandy feet around the campsite.
When filled, it builds up its own pressure so you don’t need a pump or batteries—just squeeze the handle to start the flow. The 11 L volume provides a generous rinse without being bulky, and once empty it rolls down to roughly 14 × 22 cm, slipping into a daypack or trunk with ease. Weighing in at just 0.65 kg, it won’t tip the scales on a longer trek, making it a sensible addition to any gear list.
Nemo says about the Helio Pressure Shower
Unlike gravity camp showers that need to be hung overhead and produce dismal water pressure, the award-winning Helio™ portable pressurized shower and sprayer rests on the ground and provides the pressure you need to wash hair, do the dishes, rinse off gear, water your plants, or wash the dog.
You can quickly and easily pressurize the 2.9-gallon tank with a foot pump – and with occasional pumps you can keep it fully pressurized for 5-7 minutes of strong, continuous spray. The tank cannot be over-inflated. Set the black tank in the sun to warm up gradually, or fill it directly with hot water for a warm shower.
Refill Helio™ anywhere, even without a hose. The 7-foot neoprene hose is long enough to hold it overhead for a shower, or to reach all angles of dirty gear, muddy paws, or salty wetsuits. Pair with
Heliopolis™ privacy shelter, which has a fitted nozzle holder for hands-free overhead showering, for the ultimate home-away-from-home shower in the backcountry.
