Who says you have to wait until you get back home to clean up? The Colman Solar Camp Shower is crafted from strong yet flexible PVC and uses solar power to heat 5 gallons (nearly 19 litres) of water for showers and dishwashing. The attached shower head features a convenient on/off valve.

Leopard Outdoor Waterproof Vinyl Cooler Bag
We’ve found a cooler bag that’s as easy on the eyes as it is to clean! The bag’s heavy-duty vinyl exterior features a waterproof zipper and four separate locations to hook on straps. Fill the bag with ice or frozen items, and the interior stays cool thanks to insulating high-density foam and a vinyl liner. Available in yellow, black or blue.

Shining Buddy LED Headlamp
This non-bobbling, bright headlamp sports an adjustable strap and a lightweight PVC casing, making it ideal for both adults and kids. Use the switch to select among four settings: high beam, low beam, red light and flashing red. Available in different styles; each includes 3 AAA batteries and a user guide.

Surfun Dry Bag with Shoulder Strap
Keep your smartphone, old-school camera and anything else safe and dry on your camping, kayaking or fishing trip with the Surfun Dry Bag. Roll the top of the bag three times, and the heavy-duty seamed vinyl prevents water, sand and other contaminants from entering. The bag, which also floats, is available in six colours and various sizes.

CTM Unisex Star Wars Darth Vader Clear Rain Poncho
The forces of nature have two distinct sides: wet and dry. This Empire-worthy rain poncho, made from waterproof vinyl, will keep you dry from the attached hood right on down. Two snaps at both sides provide easy pocket (or light saber) access. One size fits most.

Tenacious Tape
To take care of any on-site tears, holes or rips in tents or sleeping bags, and other items you take on your trip, keep a roll of Tenacious Tape in your kit. The clear PVC tape securely repairs your equipment neatly and permanently, so all you have left to do is enjoy the rest of your camping trip.
