A Shampoo Bottle built for the Trails
When it comes to a sudsy cleaning experience while camping, nature lovers need a soap bottle that can survive any adventure nature throws their way.
Nalgene Trail Life
The Problem
Current camping shampoo bottles aren't rugged enough to survive rigorous outdoor activity.
The Existing Landscape
Campsuds
$9.99
This concentrated formula is a fan favorite among campers. Common complaints include a weak spout and unregulated flow of soap.
Wilderness Wash
$9.99
Muli-purpose Wilderness Wash was designed with the outdoors in mind. Users reported lost caps and unregulated flow of product from the bottle.
Dr. Bronner's
$6.99
Dr. Bronner's is one of the oldest soap producers in the organic soap industry. Campers complained about the lack of squeezability and flimsy hinge mechanism.
Shampoo Leaves
$6.99
Shampoo detergent sheets are relatively new in the camping marketplace. Users appreciate their portability, but they lack a sudsy formula and have been slow to take hold.
Shampoo Bar
$10.95
New to the industry, Hibar sells shampoo bars for campers and outdoor enthusiasts. Users of the product don't particularly enjoy soap scum covering their toiletries whilst on the trails.
No rinse shampoo
$10.95
No rinse shampoo utilizes a special formula that allows users to clean their hair with no water. The small bottle doesn't hold enough product for users and the cap is finicky.
Existing Bottle Issues
Susceptible to Leakage
Flow and Dexterity issues
Modeling and material selection within the market space has produced brittle shampoo bottles with leakage issues.
Existing shampoo bottles do not have squeeze-flow regulation built in. This causes users to use too much product while on the trail.
Packability Concerns
Current market offerings are bulky and hard to pack. Outdoors enthusiests are looking for simple collapsible solutions.
