Pocket Rocket

Pocket Shower

An unofficial poll of former flings and loose-lipped confidantes revealed that you’re not opposed to getting down and dirty.

Unless you’re talking about mud, bugs, and sludge. In which case, you’ll pass, thanks much.

For those rare moments of unavoidable muck (see: hippie music fests), the Sea to Summit Pocket Shower is your new best friend.

Simply fill the fist-size, waterproof reservoir (which expands to hold ten liters of H2O), hang it from the two tough Delrin D rings with the provided cord, and let the black fabric soak up some rays. Several hours later, twist the spout for seven minutes of hot, showery bliss.

At least there’s one way to clean up your act.
