HotBox

When we asked guides what tent we should make next, the overwhelming consensus was, 'Make a lightweight 2P alpine bivy tent that actually works.' So, we set off to make a tent with the following parameters: Lightweight, waterproof, handles condensation well, and fully freestanding with a small footprint so it can be wedged into rocky alpine bivy spots or dug into the side of snow fields. Finally, knowing that summit windows can take days to materialize, it had to be livable enough to spend more than a couple hours in without getting totally stir crazy.

We went with a double wall design because even the most breathable single-wall tents can't match the condensation management and versatility of a tried and true double-wall. We also added a WebTruss to boost the HotBox's strength-to-weight ratio, a whole bunch of pockets, and some functional ventilation.

Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the HotBox is its novel gear storage system. The large drawstring vents on the sides of the tent body combined with the full-length snow flaps provide dry gear storage without obstructing the door or requiring any stake points. Toggle the point of the snow flap to the tent body, shove your pack out the vent, and you have a sheltered alcove for your gear that doesn't get in the way of the door, increase the tent's footprint, or require a stake.

Our integrated pitch design lets you connect the tent body to the flysheet via the WebTruss, allowing the tent to be pitched as a single unit, like a single-wall tent.

Add a through-vent, a mesh panel on the door, a rain gutter on the flysheet zipper, internal guylines, and our industry-leading build quality and fabrics, and you get a tent that's suitable for the approach as well as the summit push. Its ventilation and double-wall design mean it's even serviceable as a year-round backpacking tent.

Pick up a footprint to prolong the life of your HotBox's floor or set up the tent without the body.
