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.

Beast of a Blade: Boker Plus Thicker Clipper Review
  As someone who has carried a knife with him since he was a kid, I have always struggled with the limitations of some knives. I recognize that knives are used for cutting and slicing. However, we’ve all got a bit of neanderthal in us, and sometimes you just want to chop and pry with a knife.   Recognizing that we’re all...

Diamond Case Trapper Knife pays homage to the trail on its handle with the iconic A.T. diamond...

Meet the Latest Batch of Rick Hinderer Knives

The EDC Knife Capable Enough for the Hunt: Benchmade Taggedout G10
  If you’re going to invest in a premium hunting knife, you should consider its overall utility. If you can carry it to work and to the backcountry, you’ll stomach that initial sticker shock a bit better than you might a highly specialized knife.   This is especially true for hunters who need a rugged hunting knife but can’t justify spending a...
Old West EDC With Modern Flair: Wheat State Cutlery ‘Peacemaker’ Review
  As I opened the box, I knew in an instant I was in for a treat. Nestled inside was a gorgeous leather zippered pouch. Lifting it out from the box, I saw a thin plastic bag with what looked to be stickers. Under that, I found a nifty coin embossed with Wheat State Cutlery’s logo.   Decorative bells and whistles like...
Sometimes Sequels Are Better: Big Idea Design’s Ti Pocket Knife II
  The world of knives continues to evolve and change to meet modern demands, inviting new designs and materials along the way. Perhaps coincidentally, a growing trend sees some great knives coming from brands that aren’t specifically knife manufacturers.   Where once customers only sought out and celebrated established knife brands, the industry now sees a movement toward brands that focus on...
Art Deco EDC Knife: CRKT ‘Blackout’ Mbombo Review
  I avoid using the phrase functional art in my knife reviews because its unspecific and potentially misleading. But I am hard-pressed to classify designer Darriel Caston’s knives any other way. Everything he churns out is as wonderful to look at as it is to use.   In 2024, CRKT released both the Minimal X and the limited-edition Mbombo, both based off...
KUIU HD Mud Boots Handle Tough Terrain With Surprising Support
  When you’re covering serious miles in unpredictable terrain, your boots aren’t just footwear; they’re gear. And like any gear, they must perform, hold up over time, and keep you comfortable.   I wore the KUIU HD Mud Boots through an entire hunting season in Montana, putting them to the test across creeks, rocky ridgelines, deep snow, and muddy fields. After more...

Exclusive Steel, Snappy Action: Microtech UTX-85 OTF Review
  I was 9 years old the first time I saw The Warriors. Admittedly, I was a bit young by today’s standards for that sort of film, but the early 1980s were a very different time. Not only was that movie my first look at (outlandishly Hollywood) inner-city turf wars, it was also the first time I remember seeing a switchblade....
