Thanks for mentioning the Simple Shower (proudly made in the USA from recycled materials). For those interested in checking out our website it’s http://www.simple-shower.com. Another great feature of the simple shower is that it also fits the Platypus brand of collapsible bottles.

And me too! It would be great to have a photo of one someone has actually made!!
Thanks!
