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.

Last Chance: Buy Your 2025-2026 Epic Pass or Forever Hold Your Peace
  Ski season is here, the resorts are opening, and if you haven’t bought a season pass yet, your time is running out — at least, for the Epic Pass. Vail Resorts announced that on Nov. 16, the Epic Pass will be pulled from sale. That leaves any prospective (procrastinator) buyers less than 1 week to pull the trigger.   So far, among Vail’s...
Car Camping Optimized: Pacific Adventure Works Hideway Sleep Platform Review
  The two things you need to know about me are that I generally like to hike and camp alone and that I like to hit the trailhead before sunrise. To catch those early morning adventures over the years, I’ve had to sleep in my vehicle, and it’s never been optimal.   To date, I can confirm that it is uncomfortable to...
2026 Nissan Sentra First Drive Review: Keeping the Affordable Sedan Alive
  The Nissan Sentra has been a steadfast sedan offering for 43 years. In fact, Nissan has sold some 6.5 million Sentras over nine generations since 1982.   Fast forward to the present, and sedans of all sizes seem to be losing popularity in favor of endless hordes of crossovers. Nissan even axed its own Maxima sedan in 2023, and there’s a...

Titanium Gravel Bikes, Recycled Wool Jackets, Topo Designs Watches, and More Emerging Gear
  Collaborations are a tried-and-true method for outdoor brands to build hype, and this week has plenty of tag teams for smart new products.

13 Years of Abuse & Still Going Strong: The North Face Base Camp Duffel M Review
  Years ago, when I was in college, I worked at The North Face (TNF) store in Boulder, Colo. As employees, we had a 50% discount on gear, so naturally, every payday, I would give my entire paycheck back to the company, buying rain jackets, tents, backpacks, and sleeping bags that would last me for years to come.   One of the...

VERO X-Realtree Tide Tracker Review: Time and Tide With Affordable Elegance
  True confession. I’m a mainlander living in a mountain state, and I’m reviewing a tide tracking watch. But I’m also an Oregonian expat who makes a yearly pilgrimage home, introducing the coast of my youth to my own child. Brackish water pumps deep in the veins.   Being an inlander unplugs you from coastal time. It’s a gap of intuition, a...
I Let a Headband Hack My Brain for Better Sleep (I Think It Worked): ‘Elemind’ Sleep Headband Review
  If I’d seen this thing a few years ago, I’d have laughed. A headband that listens to your brain and uses your brainwaves to nudge you toward sleep sounds like a plot point from a bad sci-fi movie.   Good sleep fixes more than good coffee ever could. It sharpens focus, speeds recovery, and makes long days in the field or...
