Taking the sauna out into nature requires more than just a tent and a stove. It's easy to think the sauna itself is the whole solution, but without a carrying system that works in reality, you won't get far. When the trail starts where the road ends, everything is put to the test. We at HOTT SAUNA know this after years of testing in forests, mountains, and by lakes around the Nordics.
Many sauna tents are portable, until you actually have to carry them
The packaging often says portable sauna, but the reality is different. Sure, many tents fit in the car, kayak, or boat. But what happens when you have to carry the last stretch yourself? When you have to go a few hundred meters through forest, over rocks, or down to a beach by the sea?
There we've often noticed that other manufacturers have compromised. Many sauna tents come in simple protective bags rather than real carrying bags. They work as dust covers but are never meant to actually be carried. Thin straps, loose fit, no support. And suddenly you're standing there with a 25-kilo stove in your hands and a tent on your shoulder cutting into your back, thinking you're going out to sauna in the wilderness.
We know how it feels. We've been there. Many times we've had to give up and set up the sauna in a less optimal spot just because we couldn't carry everything all the way.
HOTT SAUNA's carrying system is built for real adventures
When we created HOTT SAUNA, this was something we knew we wanted to solve. It's not enough for the sauna to be functional. It also has to be practically portable. That's why we've developed sturdy, durable carrying bags for both the tent and stove, with real backpack straps, padded shoulder straps, padding against the back, and smart attachments and tension straps.
This means you can carry both the sauna stove and the sauna tent on your back. And that makes all the difference. It means you can get all the way to the spot where you really wanted to sauna.
A few extra kilos are outweighed by the whole
Glöden and our sauna stove The Beast are not the lightest on the market and that's not something we try to hide. Our tents are built to withstand weather, wind, and many years of use. That means stronger materials, more stable construction, and a stove made of real steel. But when the carrying solution works, a few extra kilos don't matter. You avoid lugging it awkwardly and can focus on what you're there for: the experience.
For those who really want to take the sauna outdoors
Whether you're winter swimming in a lake, sauna bathing after fishing, or taking the sauna out into the forest, our carrying system is made to go with you.
So next time you're thinking about getting a portable sauna tent, don't just think about the weight or size. Think about how you will actually get to where you want to go.
We've already done the work, so you don't have to compromise.
