hotboxing tent HotBox – SlingFinWhen we asked guides what tent we should make next, the overwhelming consensus was, "Make a lightweight 2P alpine bivy tent that actually works."

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.

If you want to save the maximum possible amount of weight, replace the tent body with the HotBox Tub Floor to turn your HotBox into a single-wall minimalist alpine machine with a minimum weight of only 2lb 2.7oz.

Perfect pristine condition
Size: 12 Little Kid, Color: Mint Tint
Bought this in a neutral light green for my grandson's extra shoes for his weekend visits. Got a size larger than what he wears now, so he has to wear them "four-wheel drive" (w/ straps). Honestly, I just got the cheapest in this size, because he's at that big growth time, and they'll end up in the charity box before he wears them out. Crocs are of a good quality, and seem ideal for little growing feet. They clean up easily in the dishwasher or with a little scrub in the sink. They're easily replaced, and if they get swept up by the wind and deposited into a lake, they will float and may be easily fetched up in a net and returned to the owner (true story). Crocs dry fast, and keep feet from lingering odors without additives.

They Shouldn’t Work But Here We Are
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Mystic Purple
Let’s address the elephant in the room: Crocs look like a rubber cheese grater had a baby with a sandal. And yet somehow these things are a parenting cheat code. The comfort is unreal (10/10). Kids slip them on and suddenly they’re walking on clouds, bouncing around like tiny caffeinated marshmallows. Cleaning them is almost suspiciously easy (10/10) mud, juice, questionable playground goo just rinse and move on like nothing ever happened. The ventilation holes (9/10) actually do their job, keeping little feet from becoming sweaty disasters, though they also double as convenient entry points for sand, pebbles, and whatever treasures your kid decides to collect. Style wise (7/10), look… no one is winning fashion awards here, but kids love them and confidence is half the battle. The heel strap (9/10) deserves a medal flip it back and suddenly your child enters “sport mode” like a video game character with boosted speed stats. The color options (10/10) are wild enough to satisfy even the most chaotic tiny human, from neon explosions to surprisingly normal shades. They’re ridiculously lightweight (10/10), which is great until your kid forgets they’re wearing them and tries to wear them to bed. Durability (9/10) is solid they can handle running, jumping, puddle stomping, and general kid nonsense without falling apart. And the independence factor (10/10) Huge. No laces, no struggle, no dramatic “I can’t do it!” moments just slip on and go. Crocs as a brand (9/10) clearly know their lane comfort over cool, and honestly, it works. Final Score: 9.2/10 They may not be pretty, but they’re practical, indestructible, and weirdly lovable like the chicken nuggets of footwear

Kid friendly
Size: 6 Big Kid, Color: Blue Calcite
Easy to slip on, and simple to clean, which is really convenient. My child says they’re comfortable for playing outside and wearing around the house. The only downside is they can get a little slippery on wet surfaces, and the fit seems slightly wide. Overall, they’re durable and practical, but maybe not the best option for every activity. I buy new crocs for my kids every year, we love it! Add little charms to create your child’s own croc style.
