Kaitum 3 GT
Hilleberg
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.

Local Groups Rally to Support National Parks Crippled by Government Shutdown
  Since the government shutdown began on Oct. 1, many national parks and historic sites have remained open — but with severely reduced staff.   Entrance fees are going uncollected, visitor centers are closed, and illegal activities abound in popular parks like Yosemite. In response to these challenges, local organizations and groups have stepped up to help visitors, maintain facilities, and preserve...
Coleman Cascade 18 Camp Stove Review: A Classic Cookset Gets a Minimalist Makeover
  After a few years of using almost entirely canister, white gas, alcohol, or wood stoves, I’d forgotten the ease of just plugging a propane canister into a burner and scrambling up breakfast in a full-sized pan. That approachability is the very reason that Coleman’s Classic two-burner stoves are as popular as they are: open, plug in the propane, and get...

Plugging Into the Los Angeles Running Scene
  Los Angeles may be known for its traffic, but for runners, it’s a city best experienced on foot. From coastal paths and canyon trails to early-morning track workouts and vibrant neighborhood run clubs, LA’s running scene is as diverse and energetic as the city itself.   Plugging in is easy once you know where to look: a mix of local run...
A Second Life for Outdoor Gear: Inside the Tersus Solutions Industrial Laundry Revolution
  When a pair of pants has been worn a few times and returned to a retailer, what happens? The answer is complicated and varied, but for a small but growing percentage of these products, a second life begins in a large, nondescript building in Denver.   Inside the Tersus Solutions headquarters in an industrial complex just south of Denver, something revolutionary...

‘RIFF’: Dynastar Athletes’ First Ski Film Highlights an Incredible Stroke of Alaskan Luck
  Sometimes, youve got to get through a little bit of bad luck to find your fortune. While making their first-ever Level 1 ski film, RIFF, Dillon Flinders and Alex Lundstrom learned that firsthand.

Big Box Energy in a Small Package: YETI LoadOut GoBox 1 Review
  YETI has a knack for taking the simplest gear and turning it into something fad-worthy. The new LoadOut GoBox 1 is just the next thing that people are going to need to have in several seasonal colors.   It is, at its core, a small hard case for your essentials, yet somehow feels over-engineered for a military expedition. Built from the...
Tricked-Out & Affordable Ultralight Backpack: Outdoor Vitals Shadowlight 60 Review
  Pushing the last backpacking trip of the year to late fall in Colorado’s high peaks comes with a near guarantee of bad weather — but outlandish beauty in exchange. And pure solitude if you get deep enough. I hoofed it deep into Colorado’s Gore Range just past the peak of the fall colors. Cold, wet, and worth it.   Outdoor Vitals’ overhauled...
Colorado Loses One 14er & Gains Another After Scientific Assessment
  The LIDAR Data mapping Colorados Park, Custer, and Fremont Counties was published in 2020, and it raised questions for Eric Gilbertson. The mountaineer and mechanical engineer likes to conduct ground surveys on peaks in his spare time, and his friend Ben Loftin pointed out how close Crestone and East Crestone Peaks elevations looked on the LIDAR data. They were damn...
