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.

The Last Bike Rack I’ll Ever Own Just Got Better: 1Up USA Super Duty Hitch Bike Rack Review
  1Up has always built bike racks from extruded aluminum with replaceable parts, employing the double-wheel arm mechanism it originally developed. This produces incredibly durable racks that can be repaired by the customer with hand tools. And as burly as the racks are, they coddle fragile carbon bikes because nothing touches the frame.   I reviewed the prior version of the 1Up...

  Most people would shudder at the idea of launching themselves on skis into the air and across a road. But using a gas-powered winch to ramp up your speed for a world record-sized road gap attempt?

Men Die More, Snowboarding Is Safer, and More Surprising Insights From Lifetime Ski Study
  Jake Shealy didnt used to wear a ski helmet. When he started researching them in the early 1990s, almost no one did.

There wasnt any data to...

Downhill Weapons for Wild Downhill Runs: X-Bionic TerraSkin X00/C First Look Review
  The trail ahead is rocky, steep, and covered with patches of snow and ice. I plunge forward, dropping from the ridge as sunrise crests over the Great Plains below. My feet hop from rock to dirt, and I wear a silly grin as I careen down the rustic trail. Yes, these wild-looking shoes can really grip. This is one fun...
You’ve Never Seen a Hiking Shoe Like This: Merrell SpeedARC Surge Boa Review
  The frantically waving, stout brown tail in front of me tick-tocks too fast to set a proper jogging cadence, but it does add its own gleeful encouragement to my swift downhill hike.   Leica — GearJunkies famous German shorthaired pointer — and her four paws made easier work of North Table Mountains snaking trail, but I doubted they offered the same bounding ease...
