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.

2-Strokes and Triumph: Why the Return of Snowmobiles Could Save the Soul of the X Games
  I think of the X Games as the Olympics’ cooler younger brother. There’s no denying the two are related: Both draw the world’s greatest talent from around the globe, and both push the envelope of human athleticism. That being said, the X Games is clearly more fun at parties. There are two good reasons for this.   The first is that...
Hard-Charging, Benchmark Sustainability: Jones Shralpinist Recycled GORE-TEX ePE Men’s Ski Bibs
  After a long day outside leading a backcountry hut trip in Colorados Elk Mountains, I couldnt hang up my ski bibs. It was 5 p.m. I was co-guiding six middle-school children on their inaugural hut trip, a culmination of an after-school backcountry program.    There was one more task: I needed to shuttle a 14-year-old to the trailhead. They had a ski...

Small, Shockingly Stout, and Available: Montana Knife Company Blackfoot 2.0 Review
  The new year marks the last few days of deer season in my home state. After spending all fall pursuing target bucks and shooters exclusively, January is about fun and harvest in my household.

Classy to Casual, and 100% Made in the USA: Origin Statesman Chelsea Boot Review
  Id been told to dress nicely for the holiday party. But realistically, I was an airline flight away from home and traveling with a small carry-on for a 3-day work trip. It was one pair of boots for everything.   Easy choice: I threw on the Origin Statesman Chelsea Boot, both outdoor-capable and sharp-looking, and booked it for the airport. For...
It’s Time for a Hard Talk About (Not) Using Chairlift Safety Bars
  Vails Mountaintop Express had been stalled for a while when I pulled into line. A group of frenzied ski patrollers was working below the first tower, a pair of crossed skis stuck in the snow above them. I craned my neck just in time to catch the toboggan take off behind a snowmobile, two patrollers kneeling on the sled beside...

However, finding a technical plus-size ski jacket has been difficult, given that I inhabit a larger body than the...
