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.

Everrati Electric Porsche 911 Review: Heresy Never Looked (or Drove) So Good
  In certain Porsche circles, any modification to the venerable 911 approaches the horrors of absolute heresy. Purists believe everyone should just put their utmost trust in the wizards of Weissach and respect the original performance of the 911 as produced in that period.   I love Porsches in general, and have owned multiple models. Yet I can still recognize that modern...
Climbers Secure Largest Land Acquisition in History at Red River Gorge
  The Red River Gorge Climbers Coalition (RRGCC) secured 718 acres and 14 miles of cliffline at the Red River Gorge (commonly called The Red). The RRGCC first began to pursue access to this additional area over 10 years ago. In 2015, the coalition, in partnership with Access Fund, submitted a proposal to allow climbing on the land, but to no avail....
12 Yoga Poses That Are Surprisingly Similar to Your Gym Workout
  As a certified personal trainer and yoga teacher, I work with a lot of athletes who are reticent to try yoga. This happens for several reasons, among them the fact that learning the poses can be a lot harder than you’d think. There are literally hundreds of poses, each demanding strength and coordination. It’s essentially like learning an entirely different...
All Relief, No Attachments: Hyperice Normatec Elite Compression Boots Review
  Professional athletes have used compression boots for decades to enhance recovery efforts. These pneumatic boots compress the legs from bottom to top in sequence, enhancing lymphatic and blood circulation. They also provide compressive massage. Once the realm of pro athletes, Hyperice Normatec Elite brings this recovery tool to recreational athletes.   I am no stranger to compression (or recovery) boots. I...
How to Organize Your Gear Shed the Practical Way
  It’s that time of year, when we all become obsessed with bettering ourselves. Rather than a health-focused resolution this year, one of mine involved getting a handle on organizing my garage full of outdoor gear and simplifying the process of packing for trips.   Before diving into what I did, let me give you a little background. I’ve always been a...
A “Miracle” Lost Backpack Saved Two Hikers in Southern Utah
  Every week I read half a dozen reports on search-and-rescue missions to save lost skiers, errant rock climbers, and the occasional stranded dog. Often, these stories are sad tales of adventurers suffering injuries or losing their lives. But every so often, I come across a rescue story that makes me slap my forehead in amazement.   That was my reaction when I...

Fire It Up: SOTO WindMaster vs. MSR PocketRocket Deluxe Backpacking Stove Showdown
  It was nearly freezing above 14,000 feet, and my SOTO WindMaster was whipping up some warm coffee for me despite the breeze. I had just spent the night on top of Wetterhorn Peak, deep in Colorados San Juan Mountains, and I was excited to catch the sunrise.    Just like the evening before, my SOTO stove did a superb job of...
This Cave in Ohio Is One of the Nation’s Most Booked Vacation Homes
  If a cave dwelling conjures images of primitive camping, you haven’t seen the Cave at Dunlap Hollow. This 1,500-square-foot rock formation turned modern vacation home 50 miles southeast of Columbus, Ohio, books out one year in advance. Bold design touches like crystal chandeliers, purple kitchen tiles, a pool table, and floor-to-ceiling walnut bookcases stocked with 500-plus tomes have made it...

Gamify Indoor Bike Training (for Cheap): ‘Smash Your Fitness’ Review
  Indoor bike training morphed from simply pedaling indoors against artificial resistance to an all-encompassing digital domain. Modern smart trainers linked to virtual riding and racing platforms deliver all the metrics fitting professional cyclists.   Indoor training can be very serious. WorldTour teams have plucked riders based on indoor riding data or indoor competitions, all done via smart trainers and platforms like...
The South Face of Mount Robson Sees a First Ski Descent
  The sun was setting over the South Face of 12,972-foot Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, when Canadian professional ski mountaineer Christina “Lusti” Lustenberger and Chamonix-based IFMGA guide Guillaume “Gee” Pierrel decided bail on their climb.   The two were attempting a first descent of the peaks Great Couloir on February 13, and were just 650 feet shy...
