$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 to train and prepare for your first Ironman swim

The do-it-all run session for triathlon
  Fartlek running originated in Finland in the 1930s and has been used by countless runners and, more recently, multisport athletes ever since.

How to wake up your feet for a faster run
  Warming up for a run mostly involves gentle jogging and dynamic stretching but how often do you pay attention to your feet beforehand?

With over 7,000 nerve endings, 33 joints, 26 bones and more...
The benefits and risks of fasted running on performance
  Fasted running has been a popular training method in the fitness world for some time now. In the 1980s, it was the norm to run on an empty stomach, with the familiar phrase being 'eating is cheating'.

  Having a high VO2 max is one of the most quoted markers of endurance performance. VO2 denotes volume of oxygen.

Another strong marker of performance in...

What is a good running pace?
  As a coach for run training app Runna, I'm often asked ‘what is a good running pace?’ It's a difficult question to give a straight answer to as there are lots of variables which will affect our running pace.

Why do I get lower back pain from running?
  Lower back pain (LBP) represents the most common musculoskeletal condition in both the general population and in sports, however the prevalence and incidence of LBP among runners is low compared to the general population (Maselli et. al., 2020).   This lower incidence and prevalence of LBP among runners may mean that running is 'protective' against LBP. Let me explain further…   Why...
What makes triathlon's strongest runners so fast?
  Different athletes have differing running mechanics, but at the end of the day, the goal is to run with as little effort as we can while being as efficient as possible.

The benefits of training indoors all-year round
  Indoor training in spring and summer? Really? Is that even a thing? As the many Zwift users around the globe would testify, it is indeed – and an increasingly popular option at that.   And one I can, at first reluctantly, but now wholeheartedly, agree with after becoming rather cojoined with the Wattbike Atom. I’m using it for a book I’m...
