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.

Climbing on Drugs? Everest Clients Pay $154K for High-Altitude Therapy
  The original version of this article was published on ExplorersWeb.

While traditional alpinists bemoan the further touristification of Everest,...

Three Things Making My Family Ski Trips Easier
  Anyone who skis or snowboards knows: Everything outside of actually making turns is a massive pain in the ass. The exorbitant number of clothing and accessories items required to avoid frostbite and injury. The hardgoods—skis, snowboards, boots, poles—you have to load and unload without wrecking your car, your gear, or your body. The stuff necessary for a comfortable drive home...
Proven Swiftwater Rescue Safety: Kotakat HustleR Rescue Vest Review
  It is generally advised to avoid games called “live bait.” Particularly if you are the bait in question, and its as irresponsible as it sounds: jumping boat-less into whitewater, tethered to a throw rope, and aiming to grab an unconscious boater. For this to be safe, you need a rescue vest — a specially souped-up PFD — and not a...

Comfort and Safety Collide at $900: Bell Moto-10 Spherical Helmet Review
  My 95-year-old grandpa is often the toughest, smartest guy in the room. He raced motorcycles across the Mojave Desert and flat-bottomed boats across the Missouri River, survived Rocky Mountain snowstorms on horseback, and even built a house at age 60. The man valued reliable gear and taught me the adage, You get what you pay for.   But even with that...
Denali Calling: Testing the Iridium GO! Satellite Hotspot on North America’s Tallest Mountain
  We huddled in the cook tent at 14,000 feet on the West Buttress of Denali as temperatures plummeted to near 0 degrees F. Do we stay and rest at 14K camp? Or push to high camp at 17K and try for the summit? As mountain guides, it was our responsibility to make the call, and thankfully, we had an Iridium...
