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.

Meet Muppy, the World’s Smallest Sled Dog
  Last fall, at a dryland dogsled race in Pearson,Wisconsin, one canine athlete stood out from the rest. While her competition—mostly pointers and Alaskan huskies—ran one- to three-mile sprints, then rested, she entered multiple divisions in such quick succession that she once hurried straight from the finish line to the starting line without slowing down. Her gaze is stoic. Her fur...

He mused on the banalities of middle-aged life, weather in Seattle, and shopping at Costco. But...
Pretty and Gritty: Artisan Cutlery Holm Folding Knife Review
  Christmas was filled with laughter, cheer, and a knock on the door from the FedEx guy — and he wasn’t delivering my “Jelly of the Month Club” package.

7 Core-Strengthening Exercises That Every Athlete Needs
  For most of the 20 years that I’ve been a competitive runner, I’ve intentionally disregarded yoga. I assumed that it wouldn’t offer anything meaningful to my workout routine. But as I’ve become older—and, it seems, wiser—I’ve found the exact opposite to be true. Especially when it comes to the benefits I experience from core-strengthening exercises in yoga and what they...

The Lightest Inflatable Sleeping Pad on the Market: Nemo Tensor Elite Review
  The trail up Mt. Katadyn, the northern terminus and highest peak along the Appalachian Trail, often sits above the clouds and cuts through car-sized boulder fields to reach the summit. Gripping a rebar ladder rung on a vertical rock face, I carefully pick another spot for my foot. I now understand why the rangers here have a fleet of daypacks...
Fi Series 3 Review: Not All Dogs Who Wander Are Lost
  As I mash my pedals up the last kicker on the trail, I register that my dog, Broose, is nowhere to be seen. Finally, at the top of the mountain, I once again have cell coverage and feel a vibration in my pocket. “43 minutes ago: Broose has left Bentley,” one notification reads. “27 minutes ago: Broose is on Spruce...

Hardshell Ease and Durability With Softshell Space: FSR Nova Hybrid Rooftop Tent
  Roof-top tents (RTTs) have always forced campers to choose between softshell models that pack down small but require a bulky cover and hardshell designs that offer durability and fast setup but take up more space. The Freespirit Recreation (FSR) Nova aims to combine the best of both by eliminating the fabric cover, integrating a rugged aluminum shell, and offering a...
Technical Touring Pack for Fast & Light Skiers: Black Diamond Cirque 25 Review
  It’s the winter solstice in Southcentral Alaska, and I only have 5 hours of daylight. As I gained the summit ridge, its 2 p.m., and the sun is already starting to dip below the horizon. Needing to move fast to get back down before dark, I attached my skis to my pack without removing them and pounded up the boot track...
