$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.

Half the Weight With Greater Space: Marmot Limelight Ultralight 3P Review
  Just as I finished setting up the Marmot Limelight Ultralight 3P tent and got snuggled in my sleeping bag, it began to snow at my campsite in Bryce Canyon National Park. At an elevation of 8,000 feet and with temps dipping into the 20s, I knew the snow would stick. I went to sleep unaware of how much it might...

Wind-Resistant, Infrared Stove Thrives in Harsh Conditions: Primus Ulti Stove 1.0 Review
  The thought of coffee rustled me from my sleeping bag, as it does most mornings.I could hear the wind howling against my truck. Bleary-eyed, I peeked out the window and saw our camp chairs blown over, and my friends tent flapping in the late September breeze. It was a blustery fall day. Good thing I had a wind-resistant camping stove,...

Adrian Ballinger Argues for Sweeping Change on Everest: Nepal-Side Summits Are Becoming ‘Unethical’
  For decades, the southern face of Mount Everest has been the preferred route to the worlds highest summit. The Nepalese government, which controls this side of the mountain, reliably kept it open to foreign climbers. And the countrys native Sherpas proved adept as climbing porters who could shoulder the burden of large expeditions.   But theres more than one way to...
Off-Road Family Luxury Camping: Rossmönster Baja Trail LX Review
  A big overland camper, a family of four, spring break week, and the American Southwest is a combo made in heaven. The Rossmönster Baja Trail LX provided comfortable travel and RV camping in beautiful remote areas where only high-clearance vehicles can access.

Big Agnes’ Lightest Sleeping Pad Yet: Zoom UL Review
  I was at the Douglas Springs trailhead in Saguaro National Park, playing a final round of Tetris with the items in my pack before I got on the trail. Since water access was limited on my multiday hike, I had to start with 8 L of water, which added a lot of base weight and took up a ton of...

The Best Ultralight Tents of 2025
  From full-blown thru-hikes to fast weekend missions, weve clocked some serious miles in a range of the best ultralight tents. Our ranks are flush with thru-hikers, and collectively, weve likely put down close to 10,000 miles of hiking across the U.S. and beyond. Along the way, weve become pretty particular about our shelter choices.   To pinpoint the best ultralight tents,...
Two Bear Canisters in One: REI Traverse Modular Bear Canister Review
  Id never seen a bear canister like the one before me at the REI Co-op Magnusson Lab in Seattle. The translucent orange container was sitting in a device that looked like a guillotine, and I watched as it pressed a steel bears tooth down into the plastic exterior. Two of REIs lab researchers stood quietly beside me, watching as the...

An Ultralight Cookpot for Around $30: Fire Maple Petrel Ultralight G2 Pot
  If I had to list the top three things that I hate carrying, but need when I head out on an adventure, its food, water, and a means of cooking and eating said food. It seems ridiculous to condemn the few things I need to survive, but here we are — and I’ve felt this way for years.   Additionally, although...
