Nemo Helio in Vermont Sports Magazine

At CCOutdoorStore.com, we're big fans of Vermont Sports Magazine. They always write about fun and exciting activities that happen around the area, include interesting interviews, and publish my favorite section -- "Gear and Beer."  This month the Nemo Helio Pressure Shower was writer Josh Gleiner's gear pick.  Check out his review here.



The Nemo Helio is one of the most versatile products we have in the store. A couple uses Josh didn't touch upon: washing Bowser (as seen above), doing the dishes, and extinguishing a campfire -- just to name a few; the list really goes on and on.



Nowadays it's tough to buy an outdoor product with only one purpose. That makes it easy to see that the Nemo Helio is a multi-purpose item, surely to get plenty of usage.

Outside Magazine's Six Best Car Camping Accessories of Summer 2012

Car Camping is a whole lot of fun. There is a plentiful amount of beautiful places in this world that have been made vehicle accessible, and having your car eliminates the limitation of what you can bring (for the most part). With that in mind, Outside Magazine has released "The 6 Best Car Camping Accessories," and we sell almost all of them! I'm tellin' ya, great minds think alike. Check out the....

Nemo Helio: This super legit portable shower holds a copious 11L of water that, with a foot pump, can be pressurized for more of an at-home-like shower. Instead of hanging this in a tree and waiting for gravity, the control is in your hand with a sprayer like that one on your sink. The Nemo Helio makes a portable shower pleasant, as well as dishes, dirty dogs, dirty mountain bikes- the versatility is there and the possibilities go on and on. ($99)

Kelty Folding Cooler: Available in 20, 35 and 50L this soft sided cooler saves a heck of an amount of trunk space. A cooler that is completely collapsible, foam-sided and made by Kelty? Oh, and I forgot to mention that this fully functional cooler is also a functional bar- equipped with cupholders. The Kelty Folding Cooler is perfect for in the car and on the campsite.($46)

Primus Firehole 300: If you have ever messed up cooking dinner on the campsite, rest assured you can blame your cooking system because no cooking system out there is as user friendly as the Primus Firehole 300. This badboy's got built in lights so you can see what you're doing, an electric lighter, and even an on-board timer. This dual-burner stove is virtually bulletproof and if that's not enough- it comes with a spatula, spoon, and even a cutting board. ($295)

Nemo Helio: For When it's Time to Clean Up Your Act

There are times, for some- more than others, when we are less than clean. Most of us, once we reach that stage, jump in the shower for a little "scrub a dub dub." But when you're a few weeks into the Long Trail, stuck in a car on a multiple-day road trip, at a remote work site or are anywhere that is not proximal to your washroom- there's a new method from Nemo Equipment: the Helio Pressure Shower.

When packed, it's about the size of a birthday cake and weighs 25 oz, but has the capacity of 11L (2.9 gallons) of purifying sanctified aqua. And unlike other portable shower systems that rely on gravity, the Nemo Helio Pressure Shower has a pressure pedal to regulate your stream. Good for about five to seven minutes of steady stream, the Helio Shower is perfect for rinsing off a muddy dog, or even dirty dishes! A spray nozzle, like that one on your sink, at the end of a seven foot hose will bring your from grungy to lovely - no matter where you are.

After you're finished cleansing yourself of crud, a ventilated carry case and Eco-polyurethane coated polyester protect the Helio Shower from growing any type of nasty mold (either). At $99.95, the Nemo Helio Pressure Shower will make people less apt to turn around and run from your unpleasant aroma : )
