Kaitum 3
$1,290.00
Description

  Maximum usable space, outstanding comfort, and strength in a lightweight package

  Because of its two door/two vestibule configuration, its lightweight yet strong materials and its smart design, the Hilleberg Kaitum 3 provides a stunning balance of super light weight, overall comfort and high strength. Backpackers gravitate toward the Kaitum 3’s light weight and remarkable roominess, as do paddle and bicycle tourers, who also appreciate its small packed size. Hunters, winter campers, ski tourers, and climbers favor the Kaitum 3 because of its all-season strength as well as its low weight. And taller users will find the Kaitum’s plentiful floor space, vertical entrances, and vertical walls a roomy pleasure.

  A note on colors: Fabric dyes have natural variations, so the actual tent color may look slightly different from what is pictured here.

This particular load of wood put our lineup of splitting axes and our axe-wielding testers through...
The Best Outdoor Adventures in Illinois
  An estimated 50 million people visit Chicago annually. Precious few of them see the rest of Illinois, however, and they’re missing out. While the most famous city in Illinois always delivers good times, anyone who loves the outdoors will be amazed by what lies beyond the purview of the L. With 64 state parks, 289,000 acres of protected national forest,...

Solo Stove Launches Outdoor ‘Movie Night’: Screen Chairs, Popcorn Maker, and More
  Fire pits were just the beginning. While Solo Stove first wowed us in the 20-teens with its hallmark smokeless campfire magic, it has since expanded again and again into new, loosely fire-related territory (think patio heaters, outdoor tables, and indoor fire bowls).   This week, the Austin firebrand makes perhaps its most ambitious expansion yet — into the world of cinema. Solo...

Pricing ranges from $34,950 to $47,900. But, lets focus on whether you should buy the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) or all-wheel-drive (AWD) version.   I flew to...

  Testers and PinkBike editors spent the last year hitting singletrack from Bellingham to Squamish to evaluate 2024s newest crop of trail bikes.

The Best Water Shoes of 2024
  Humanity hasn’t always needed water shoes for protection. But let’s face it: Most of us in this era will never again develop tough-as-leather feet like our shoeless ancestors, who could travel miles across nasty terrain with bare feet. Today, our feet have delicate, sensitive soles that feel every piece of gravel in the grass, every shell in the sand, every...
