Kaitum 3 GT
Hilleberg
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.

Missouri to Allow Drone Use During Hunting Season
  All use of drones in hunting seasons has been banned in Missouri until now. The Missouri Department of Conservation released several rule changes ahead of the 2024 season. These changes include the approval of drones used specifically in recovering wounded deer, turkey, elk, and black bear.   All other uses of drones to aid in the hunt are still prohibited. Pursuing,...
First-Ever Flips and Whips on a Moving Train: Watch the ‘Red Bull Bike Express’
  We are all used to stunning two-wheeled sports videos from Red Bull Media House. But the Red Bull Bike Express video hits differently. The rider stays fixed in space while the course moves below, creating a unique visual masterpiece and an incredible challenge to one of the worlds best freeride pilots.   Red Bull is no stranger to extreme mountain biking....
All the Perks of Titanium, Without the Price: BlackHeart Bike Co. Allroad Ti Review
  Titanium isnt the material that comes to mind for the average cyclist that doesnt count every gram or measure every watt, but thats the target customer for BlackHeart Bike Co. The brand wanted to make owning a forever bike frame accessible to more people.   With premium titanium framesets costing $4,000 or more, BlackHearts Allroad Ti, at $2,999, is one of...
National Park Fashion Week: Welcome to Dancing Rangers & Condor Outfits
  If youre anything like me, then the svelte, overly serious models of New York Fashion Week may leave you feeling rather cold. Its hard to keep a straight face when watching a runway show with the self-importance of a United Nations Security Council meeting.   Much better, I think, to watch and support the ironic — yet equally iconic —displays from...
The Best Snowshoes of 2024-2025
  Invented up to 6,000 years ago, snowshoes have come a long way from their leather and wood origins. But humans have always needed to devise a way to travel over snow more efficiently, and luckily we have dozens of great options to choose from today.   It can be hard to decipher exactly what you may need, as many snowshoes are...
All-Weather Dog Gear, 3D-Printed Aero Bike, Pint-Sized Onewheel, and More Emerging Gear
  Sometimes, theres just too much cool outdoor gear — and this is one of those weeks. In fact, this weeks edition is a bit longer than normal to make room for all the good stuff. That means more camping gear, grilling equipment, or adventure apparel to peruse at your leisure.   We know its a lot to ask to read about...
2025 Volkswagen Taos Gets More Power, Better Transmission
  Volkswagens smallest crossover is getting a new face and a new transmission for 2025. The Volkswagen Taos trades its massive grille for something that looks a little more Vee Dub to us, its 1.5L turbo-four gets higher horsepower, and the often-maligned dual-clutch DSG is replaced by a normal automatic.   There are some useful content changes too, but theres nothing here...
Win Red Bull Rampage Tickets to See First-Ever Women’s Event
  It took 2 decades, but the best women freeriders will finally get their time in the spotlight at Red Bull Rampage this year. The landmark mountain biking event has long been a boys-only club, but that changes this October.   Mountain biking lovers are clearly stoked to see women riders going for big-air stunts, because tickets sold out quickly. But you...
Unparalleled Brightness for the Price (With a Catch): COAST XP40R Flashlight Review
  I pushed the button, and my eyes squinted into the suddenly very bright night. Good grief, I thought. This Coast XP40R is one shockingly bright flashlight.   My buddy was unimpressed — that is, until we compared beams. I shut down the XP40R and let him light up a powerful headlamp with around 1,000 lumens. It didnt hold a candle to...
Petzl Recalls Thousands of Harnesses to Prevent ‘Backwards’ Fit Issue
  A recall from climbing brand Petzl is as much advice as a warning: No matter which harness you have, make sure you know how to use it properly.   Petzl has created a redesign for 27,500 climbing harnesses to address a potential fall hazard, according to a recall filed with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The move comes after the...
Cartop Glamping: Thule Approach M Rooftop Tent Review
  If Instagram and overlanding shows are any indication, rooftop tents are all the rage.When Swedish travel gear giant Thule acquired Tepui (a California-based RTT brand) in 2018, many in that sphere considered it a sign that RTTs werent just a passing fancy.   Thule then upped the ante by offering its own RTTs alongside Tepui models. In 2023, Thule sold $882+...
Khumbu Climbing Center Turns 20: Protecting Climbers, Sherpas Since 2004
  Before the Khumbu Climbing Center (KCC) existed in Nepal, most sherpas who were making a living guiding people up Everest had little to no formal climbing training or mountaineering skills. The KCC changed that. Over the 20 years its existed, this program has had a massive impact on climbing safety in the Himalayas. But its also broadening the future for...
