UPDATE 12/2014: Well it's been 5 years since my review and I did use these Seattle sports sinks for many years. I still think they are good, but they did sometimes require a little finesse, especially if the table wasn't level. As I am always trying to refine our gear, I have replaced these Seattle Sports sinks with two
Prepworks from Progressive International CDT-1 Collapsible Dish Tub
. The new collapsible dish tubs now reign supreme in car camping dish washing gear. These Seattle Sports sinks probably pack a little smaller, but I use these
Plano 1619-00 56 Quart Tote Tub
to carry my car camping gear so either fits. We just had a 20 person Thanksgiving dinner in Death Valley with all the fixens and I washed a truck load of dishes using the new tubs. You can probably go either way, but for big camp, I think I like the collapsible tubs better.
Original Review from 2009:
This is the best sink for car camping. I use two of them, one for wash, one for rinse and they work great. I've had them for years and so far they've held up without any problems. They're rigid enough to remain useful and not flop over. They're tough enough for hot water and big enough to wash a 10" pot. (I car camp with the
GSI Bugaboo Pots
) The Seattle Sports sinks are light enough and pack up easy. You could take one backpacking, but I think they're more suited for car camping. For backpacking I usually don't take a sink, but if I did, I'd probably go with something lighter like a
Granite Gear Kitchen Sink
. The Seattle Sports sink is more stable and tougher than the Granite Gear, but also heavier and every ounce counts in my pack. Happy Camping!
