Hi

I am trying to buy a solar shower bag.
Anyone who knows some store in europe with this service please say something.

I am not sure who you tried but here are a few.
northern mountain supply. They are based in Eureka CA where I live, but may ship to Europe. High end stuff, but can get some good deals. northernmountain.com (I think)
Another one to try
cheaperthandirt.com
In the Cabela's catalog it gives two numbers. One for US and Canada and another for "all other countries" cabelas.com
all other countries
Customer service 1-308-254-6745
orders 1-308-234-5555
Also try rei.com I dont know if they ship out of the US but its worth a try.
Good luck.

One of the best (in my opinion) because they "have it alll" is http://www.globetrotter.de/
Trouble is... it's in German only. Can you find someone to help you translating and finding your way around ?
Germany is THE best country in the whole of Europe to buy special equipment for travelling. Simply because the Germans have about the most adventurous travellers
They do on-line selling. I bought things off Globetrotter several times, and have never had problems. Costs for sending can rise quite high though - I'd say between around 15 euro's or above, so I always make sure there's enough of it to make it worth while. For just one solar shower (at say 10 or 15 euro's) it's not worth it. Rather ride to Germany for holidays, and buy it there, no ?
Happy showers,
Trui
