Getting Started

Learn about the differences between the HOTTAP Essentials, HOTTAP Outing, and HOTTAP Nomad. In this video, we go over when you would use each kit and what is included in each kit.

A quick walk-through showing Emre unboxing the new HOTTAP Nomad kit.

We've worked really hard to minimise our packaging footprint. You'll notice that we don't have any polystyrene and we've also tried to remove as much of the single-use plastic bags as possible too.

Learn how to set up your HOTTAP by following this guide. 

When you finish setting up, click here to learn how to use your HOTTAP.
