We used the Scrubba on a 2.5 year RTW by motorcycle and it was aces. We're always looking for multiuse tools on the road and the beauty of this is you can also use it as a dry bag between washes. Cleans the clothes really well with a minimum of effort. Highly recommend.

So, if I'm in the back-country and use the Scrubba to wash my clothes where exactly does the manufacturer think I'm going to find a place to wash the Scrubba? Should I buy 2 and use 1 to wash the other???

Might as well make it black to warm the water in the sun and put a removable shower head on it to make the air release valve more multifunctional. Then I will entertain if the weight is something I want to carry.

MasterRoScrubba stealth bag is black, larger, and can be used as a backpack and shower. I might be interested in a drop on that. More bucks though.

I own one and I have only used it on one overseas trip. It doesn't seem any better than my old method, which was to fill my ultra low weight sea-to-summit silnylon day-pack with sudsy water and wash my clothes that way.
The valve doesn't work as well as I expected - you are still left with wet clothes that need wringing.

It says nothing about allowing wringing water. It literally shows a picture of clothes hanging on a clothesline. I don't need to have used the product to be able to read what the intended use is.
The intended use of the port is removing air before washing, nothing else (as is stated in the description, or rather lack of statement in this case). If you want to inform buyers that it isn't good at wringing, that's cool and all, but that isn't an intended use.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend twisting a plasticized material, nor would I recommend wringing your clothes or anything else you want to last more than a year. Wringing any fabric will eventually ruin it.

WIT-404Thank you for commenting on something you don't own and have not used.
When the scrubba was first released around 7 years ago it was designed to exhaust air and wash water through the valve. You were supposed to roll the clothes under pressure, squeezing the wash water through the valve and it was touted as a better system than using the alternative.
I know this because i bought one then, used it ad described, and found it wanting.
Now they have removed this instruction, presumably because it works no better than using the open end of a any other bag, or just twisting the clothes.
Which now leaves the open question - are the corrugations in the bag any better than washing clothes by squeezing and agitating through a normal stuffbag?
In my opinion, not really. Or rather, not enough that i have noticed a difference or enough to make it worth carrying a heavier bulkier more expensive bag.

We put several golf balls into a cheap dry bag and it works much the same as this for less than half the cost. This might work better I suppose, but seems like overkill.

Is this the new 2017 version or the old one?

Oh wow really? I didn't know that, I received mine and I have yet to use it, I'm planning to use it when I enter the army, I hope it doesn't fall apart then!

Probably the most useless idea for any thru hiker
soap. Stick or rough clean stone and bit of scrubbing does the job

Used this for two weeks in Europe. Lots of work with regular washing, but does the job.

MassdropbearI just wanna give you props for your user name. I'm jealous I didn't think of that one.
