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.

11 Ounces, 1,300 Gallons: LifeSaver Wayfarer Packable Water Purifier Review
  We were about 20 miles up Gypsum Creek, pedaling deeper into White River National Forest aboard a pair of burly UBCO bikes loaded down with an obscene amount of camping gear. We had everything we needed for a weekend outing and gear-testing trip — except water. I knew there was a water source at camp, a favorite little fishing spot...

4 Ways to Open, ‘Double-Safe’ Magnet Lock: Vosteed Ankylo Review
  Vosteed knives should be a household name based on the quality and variety of knives the brand continues to put out. But youd be forgiven for not knowing —after all, the company only ended up on my radar by accident. I was having myself a Google, researching the Shilin blade style, and Vosteeds Nightshade flipper came up.   But that was...

Two drills that will improve your breathing when swimming
  Effective breathing in freestyle is one of the most important and most challenging skills to learn in swimming, particularly if you’re racing in open water.   A poor breath can cause all sorts of problems in your stroke, really hurting your speed.   One of the key skills in effective breathing is rotation. Rather than lifting your head or pulling it to...
The Bike for Roadies Who Don’t Race: ENVE Fray First Look Review
  ENVE first entered the bike frame game with Custom Road builds tailored to individual riders. Later, the brand began mass-producing complete bikes in the form of its Melee road race machine and its MOG gravel counterpart.   Now, with a place on the World Tour, the Melee is a well-known race bike. It is aggressive and fast, whereas the MOG provides...
The Surprising Way Air Hunger Limits Your Endurance
  Our lungs and airways are “overbuilt,” according to exercise physiologists. Though we gasp and pant during heavy exercise, that’s not what actually slows us down. Instead, the bottleneck is the heart’s ability to pump oxygen-rich blood to the muscles, or the muscles’ ability to make use of that oxygen. That’s why the heart and muscles get bigger and stronger in...
Samaya ULTRA35 Review: Minimalist Dyneema Pack Worth Maximalist Price
  The Samaya ULTRA35 is an ultralight minimalist alpine pack with the added bling of Dyneema. On paper, it checks all the boxes for a high-performance alpinist. But it comes at a price — an MSRP of $440 for a pack of this volume is a big ask.   I tested the pack over a week of backcountry, multipitch ice climbing in...

State wildlife officials received a tip about the...
The Best Skis for Beginners in 2024
  For many, it’s not realistic to have a truck, van, convertible, SUV, and EV all parked in the driveway. The same goes for skis. When you’re choosing your first vehicle — or in this case, your primary driver at the ski resort — it’s good to think about where you’ll most use the rig the majority of the time.   Enter...
