Kaitum 3 GT

Kaitum 3 GT
$1,480.00
Description

  Remarkable two door/two vestibule tent with maximum usable space

  Because of its two entrance/two vestibule configuration, its lightweight yet strong materials and its construction, the Hilleberg Kaitum 3 GT provides a stunning balance of super light weight, overall comfort and high strength. Backpackers gravitate toward the Kaitum 3 GT’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 GT because of its all-season strength as well as its low weight. And taller users will find the Kaitum 3 GT’s plentiful floor space, vertical entrances, and vertical walls a roomy pleasure.

  These users opt for the Kaitum 3 GT over the Kaitum 3 when their trips demand the increased space and flexibility the extended GT vestibule affords: with very little weight penalty, the larger vestibule offers considerably more space for both gear storage/sorting and food preparation. The extended GT vestibule also has two entrances, one on the side and one up front, on the opposite side, offering both more entry/exit options. And by rolling back the front section of the extended vestibule, you create a full tent-width “covered porch” deep enough to keep all but the worst weather away from the inner tent door.

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

How Can I Make Off-Season Strength Training More Fun?
  Every Sunday afternoon I sit down in my home office prepping for next week’s clients directly in front of one of my favorite quotes:   “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”   While George Bernard Shaw has many famous expressions, the words “grow old” in this particular quote could be replaced by any...
ATV Versatility Meets UTV Utility: 2025 Polaris Sportsman 6×6 570 Review
  Why have four wheels when you can have six? Bigger is almost always better, right? The Polaris Sportsman 66 570 certainly isnt a little machine.   I wasnt initially sure how Id feel about an ATV with so much additional length. In the area I tend to rip around in, being nimble is a requirement for an ATV. Honestly, my first...

Need Reading Glasses But Don’t Want to Look Old? You’re in Luck.
  As a touring bluegrass musician, Tim Parr was passing through Malibu, California in 2017 when he decided to shop for reading glasses. At age 49, the outdoor industry veteran who’d worked at Patagonia and founded a bike company (Swobo) had never worn glasses before. But, Parr says, his younger band members had been giving him a hard time for having...
Front Basket, E-Assist, Just Add Kiddo: Urban Arrow Family Cargo Line Bike Review
  While Urban Arrow electric cargo bikes have been around for well over a decade now, this latest one with Boschs Smart System is the most refined yet. The Urban Arrow Family Smart System Cargo Line e-bike was announced on September 19, but I got my hands on it early for a few months of testing over the summer.   I mostly...

Pro Skier Turns Nurse: TNF Athlete Muses on Career Changes, Self-Expression in ‘The War on Style’
  After podiuming at the Freeride World Tour, Hank Bilous wanted a change of pace. So, he decided to pursue a different passion for a while — medicine — and became a nurse. Both careers require extremely technical skill sets, and both frequently deal with life-and-death risks.   How did he translate his own self-expression from one to the other? And what does...
Mountain Bike Bends Around Turns, Literally: Rocky Mountain Instinct Carbon 70 AXS Review
  Mountain bike design, especially suspension, involves managing tradeoffs. Weight, price, suspension travel characteristics, handling, and even pedal height (to avoid pedal strikes) must all be considered. The final set of compromises hopefully aligns with the designers original mission statement for the bike.   Rocky Mountain may have never received that memo, as its Instinct Carbon 70 AXS made it difficult to...
This Ski Resort Just Recorded One of the Largest In-Bounds Avalanches in Its History
  Mother Nature has provided another reminder that avalanches can occur on either side of a ski resorts boundary.   Earlier this week, patrollers at Colorados Steamboat Resort published images and video of a massive avalanche that swept down four closed runs on the morning of Wednesday, November 27. Nobody was injured in the slide, which occurred near the summit of 10,570-foot...
Just Because They’re Good for You, Doesn’t Mean They Can’t Look Good, Too: Chaco Classic Flip Review
  As you’re walking the shoreline collecting seashells, with the cool waves hitting your feet, you want a shoe that can stand up to the sand, salt, and water. Sometimes, that quick walk turns into a few miles of walking as you keep filling your pockets and taking in the sunshine vibes.   Your feet shouldn’t pay the price for this extended...
In “Terrible Beauty,” Auden Schendler Explains Why We’re Losing the Climate Fight—and Why We Have to Keep Trying Anyway

Schendler, who is Aspen One’s (parent company of Aspen Snowmass), doesn’t drop into scare tactics, or data, or the myriad ways global warming is harming recreation, business, and our...
