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.

Work Hard, Play Hard: Building Bike Culture
  Presented by      At first glance, Cristian Sosa seems like everything a biker should be.

Why DC Is Better (and Worse) Than You Think: An Outsider Summits Capitol Hill
  Few things suck the wind right outta my sails like the phrase, This is going to be off the record.

Therm-a-Rest NeoLoft Sleeping Pad Review: Car Camping Comfort That Fits in Your Pack
  By the time I was 15, I was well aware Santa wasn’t putting gifts under the tree for me.

NEMO Aurora 2 Review: Affordable Tent Straddles Car Camping and Backpacking
  Backpacking tents tend to be tighter on space to save on weight. But sometimes, some extra headspace makes it a lot easier to change clothes, play games, or generally live more comfortably. I am only 5’3, so I find most tents spacious enough. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is 6’2 and always appreciates a little extra space. Sometimes, its...
