Nemo says:
This clever portable shower tent and privacy shelter was designed specifically to pair with the Helio™ and Helio™ LX portable showers, creating a private environment for showering, changing and more. The Heliopolis’ hose attachments work with Helio’s sprayer for a hands-free, high-pressure shower anywhere. The overhead towel pocket, door lock mechanism, built-in TP dispenser with a dry bag, and durable floor with French drainage are just a few of the thoughtful features that bring class and quality to this privacy shelter, helping you bring the comfort of home to any setting.
Our Verdict
Nemo's 2021 Heliopolis Shower Tent is designed to work with the Helio range of portable showers with attachment points and integrated hose routing. This is essentially a stand up tent large enough for you to shower comfortably in. The external frame is quick and simple to put up and the fabric attaches easily. All of the materials used give this a hard wearing feel and it certainly stands up to the rigours of basecamp life well.
As with most Nemo products, there's a wide range of additional features that make using this shower tent easy and more enjoyable. These include the mesh sides to the floor that allow water to drain away easily, the locking door for added security, overhead storage to keep clothes and towels dry, multiple handy pockets inside and the battery powered light. This is more than just a basic shelter for showering in, it's practical and enjoyable to use.
