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.

Plus-Size Women’s Ski Kit, No Fluff: Outdoor Research Women’s Carbide Jacket-Plus Review
  No matter how hard I looked, outdoor gear just wasnt made for me. While so many folks donned attractive technical outerwear, I was relegated to so-so products with basic protection against the elements. So I built a brand for plus-size outdoor adventurers.

Why Athletes Should Think Twice About Vitamin D Supplements
