DEAD DOWN WIND 12002 Bar Soap with Travel Container (4.5oz)

When considering what this soap was designed to do and when it's supposed to be used, it's a fantastic outdoor soap. It's important to realize that because it's not a liquid and therefore concentrated soap, you'll get far fewer uses out of this bar soap than you would with liquid soap - but how many times do you plan on washing outside before needing to restock? My pros and cons are below:PROs:1. It's advertised as unscented and it actually is unscented. Important to me for the purposes I need it form.2. It's advertised to "eliminate chemical and organic odors during and after showering" which I can only take the company's word for. From what I've seen, I feel clean after use and don't smell any scents on me (subjective). Now, it's important to note here that this isn't exactly indicative of the enzymes at work (normal unscented soap without enzymes can also make you feel clean and rid of scents), but it also not doesn't mean the enzymes aren't working - taking the company's word.3. In terms of uses, one bar can will last beyond 1-3 average trips outdoors (I'm talking 3-5 days each trip). But, this also depends on how many times you're washing yourself and if you're mindfully conserving soap.4. It comes with a travel case, and if you don't end up using immediately, the bar of soap is separately wrapped so it's well protected until use.5. The company straight forwardly mentions on their case that the soap is made in the USA and the case is made in China. I was pleasantly surprised to see this because (1) I intentionally look for items made in the USA and (2) a lot of companies out there avoid this matter altogether considering the general opinion on Chinese-made products.CONs:1. The case is not leak proof. I don't actually consider this to be con, but I know a lot of people out there looking at this soap like the idea that it comes with a case (thinking it's a watertight case). There are holes in this case to allow water to drain (like all soap cases) and to allow air in to prevent nasty things from building up. If you're thinking this case will retain whatever water is in it, it won't. The seams of the case are not designed to keep water in or out, so there you go.2. If you're looking at this soap as a lightweight alternative to other soaps, this probably isn't it. Again, consider what this soap is. It's bar soap, so there's probably not a whole lot of creative possibilities with making it lighter. It's advertised to be 4.5 oz (127 g). I measured it with its case and got 5.66 oz (160.5 g) - which makes sense. If you want lighter soap for backpacking and BOBs, try a smaller liquid soap because there are smaller and lighter alternatives out there. But, this isn't a heavy item overall, so up to you on what you want to consider "lightweight."Overall, I like this soap a lot. It does what it's advertised to do and I haven't had any issues that I already didn't think were going to be issues with soap - lol.

Order perfectly meets expectations. Sturdy container that will easily hang with rope or caribeaner, etc.Shipping was MUCH faster than the estimate!

I buy this every season and use, others just dry out your hands and crack & bleed. This is great for keeping your hands scent free for checking your cameras.

I love My dead down wind bar soap I love that it cleans all the dirt, grease, oil, and oder that comes from a long hard day at work. Strangely it seems to complement my cold beer as I shower. Unlike other soaps with a strong sent of perfume that leave you smelling all pretty. I just want to enjoy my beer and smell clean, not pretty !

I was looking for a soap storage box so I could pack soap in my emergency kit and not worry about it getting all over my other gear. When I read the reviews saying that it didn't leak and that they were using the soap in their emergency kits, I thought this would be perfect.However, they must have changed the case design, because there are drainage holes all over the back side of it. No way it won't drip into my pack. It also doesn't seem to close very securely, so I'm worried about it popping open once it's packed.I haven't tried the soap yet. I bought this more for the case than the soap anyway, but thought a scent-free soap would be a bonus.If you're looking for a case for your soap that won't leak, I don't recommend this product.

Soap is a good size (easy to hold), lathers well and does not (thus far) seem to dry out my skin like other No Scent soaps. I enjoy the fact that it comes with its own travel case so I can keep it separate from fragrance soaps. This also makes it easy to travel with. Very good buy that I highly recommend.

Takes away body odors cuts out shiny skin only thing I have found is if you wash your hair with it it dries out your scalp and can make it itchy

I haven't used the soap yet so cannot address the quality of it. Yet the case is perfect, I flipped it onto my bug out bag so not to occupy space inside. The case was the reason I bought it.
