Slingfin Hotbox tent reviews?

Anyone have any real world experience with the Hotbox? I'm ready to add a little weight for less condensation than my single wall (Direkt2), and I really like the concept of the gear storage portals. I think this tent has been out for less than one year, so I'm haven't seen many real reviews.

In case you haven't found this in a search, here's a review by a blogger who has tested the Hotbox in winter:

Thanks, I saw Lanza's review. It was quite good. He stayed away from any explicit negatives but his overall score wasn't very high. I assume he is coming from the ultralight backpacking world and the Hotbox gets dinged for its weight.

I most interested in hearing how well the gear storage works. Seems like a great idea in theory, but I am concerned that things like ski boots are going to cut into the inner wall when snow loads the fly. I also really want to know if anyone has used a stove through one of the portals (probably too risky?).

Reviving this thread, my review of the Hotbox was just published after using it for a month in the Himalaya this summer. My tl;dr is that it's actually a fantastic tent that proved incredibly livable for a minor weight penalty.

Great review, thanks! The Hotbox just went from a want to a need.

Did you try operating a stove through the portals inside the side vestibules?

We did once during a 48 hour rain stint, but we dug down into the snow to make a low platform and keep the stove as far from the fabric as possible. If you don’t have anything else in the side vestibule and dig down it can work.

Thanks for the review.
It looks like the Hotbox is not any longer than other bivi tents - can I ask how tall you (or anyone you used the tent with) are?

My partner and I are both around 6’0”. It was plenty long. One thing we often did on clear nights was keep the inner door fully open and only close the fly door. This gives you a few extra inches in length and helps ventilation a ton. It was plenty long with the inner door zipped too though. 

I agree, that this is a solid bivy tent. Used one in the PNW this summer through freezing nights, rainy nights, windy nights and it did great. It's much more solidly built and more livable than the other classic bivy tents in all conditions.
