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.

Lolo Racks 6-Bike Rack Review: A Sturdy Rack Ready for All Bikes and Adventures
  Lolo Racks, launched in the Pacific Northwest in 2016, first caught my attention when I spotted one at a trailhead in Bend, Ore. The innovative vertical hitch bike rack design, capable of carrying four or six bikes, intrigued me.   Since then, Ive tested various rack styles, both horizontal and vertical, but none seemed to meet all the criteria for our...
Here’s Why Overlanders (and Tailgaters) Splurge on REDARC
  Life on the road can be demanding. Long hauls, bad weather, desolate stretches — you never know what’s going to pop up. But regardless of where the road (or offroad) might take you — theres one companion every road warrior needs: the REDARC Mobile Power System.   Whether youre navigating the untamed wilderness, transforming a van into a home on wheels,...
Filson Launches ‘Ultralight’ Jacket and It Costs Less Than a Nano Puff
  Hold on to your bridle leather belts and brass buckles, Filson is about to dip its 127-year-old toe in the world of ultralight midlayers.   This week, the brand known for old-school materials and handmade craftsmanship will launch three pieces in a new Ultralight Series. Dropping on March 29, the collection includes three synthetic-insulation tops — a vest, hoodie, and jacket. And...
How Do Olympic Athletes Sleep?
  We all know that, in theory, we’re supposed to sleep a lot. After all, it boosts performance, protects against injury, accelerates recovery, improves free-throw shooting, and all sorts of other wonderful things. But sometimes there’s a gap between theory and practice. Are champion athletes also champion sleepers? Or is good sleep in the “nice to have” rather than “need to...
The Darkness That Blew My Mind
  The darkness has a name, but I don’t know that yet. All I know is that I’m scared.   I’m sitting with my feet in a creek in the scrubby mountains southeast of Ashland, Oregon, watching how the water spills over gray rocks into a shallow pool. All day long, I’ve been alone and unplugged, doing my best to savor moments...
KEEN Targhee IV Test: More Sustainable, Comfortable, and a Lifetime Guarantee
  The seemingly inevitable splitting of the midsole and upper, or outsole and midsole, has been the death of countless hiking boots. With the Targhee IV, KEEN claims to have found a cure for this delamination.   KEEN sent me a test pair of early-production Targhee IV boots, which launch on April 4 in the U.S. So, I laced them up and...
The Best Hand Warmers of 2024
  If you plan to spend time outdoors this winter, only the best hand warmers should make your gear list. With better run time, heat retention, settings, and reusability, hand warmers have evolved from simple single-use pocket warmers to rechargeable electric warmth machines.   Our extremities are the first part of the body to suffer from cold-related discomfort. Cold hands are actually...
8 Years and Counting: 1620 Work Pants Are Tough as Nails
  When it comes to work pants, everyone eventually starts wearing the same things. At my last engineering job, one guy started wearing Duluth Trading Fire Hose Work Pants —within a month, everyone else was, too.   Working in a demanding environment, you want a pair of pants that keep up with the abuse you put on them, day in and day...
Wild Animals Taught Me to… Run!
  Singer-songwriter David Lindes found his way into running with help from the most unexpected teacher: a bull moose. Growing up in Guatemala David had learned to ignore his body. Thanks to beatings by his adults, his body was a source of pain, and not much else. So he didn’t play sports, he didn’t dance, he found out later he wasn’t...
Ford EV Explorer Sets Around-the-World Record, but Won’t Retail in US
  Americas first major car company has finally made an electric vehicle that can traverse the globe. Unfortunately, only Europeans will get to buy it.   The all-electric Ford Explorer finished a circumnavigation of the planet on Tuesday, arriving in Nice, France, after covering over 18,640 miles without using a drop of gas. Ford said that the cars driver, Lexie Alford, became...
You Shouldn’t Be Able to Pay With Cash OR a Card at a National Park. They Should Be Free.
  In January 2020, Park Spring National Monument in Arizona became the first National Park System site to go cashless. In the years since, roughly 30 destinations made the switch to card or mobile-only payments, including big names like Zion, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon. This shift was likely insignificant for the 60 percent of Americans who report using cash for few to...
Taking Wind Out of the Equation: Ozonics HR500 Ozone Generator Review
  I can totally understand why many hunters won’t look twice at an ozone generator machine for scent control. Admittedly, I was also skeptical of the claims associated with the products. The hunting industry doesn’t exactly have the best reputation for products they call “game changers, especially for whitetails.   Do you remember “Gum-o-Flage,” the “Acorn Kruncher,” or the “Deerview Mirror?” There’s...
