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.

What Life in the Grand Canyon Tells Us About Life Everywhere Else, With Cindell Dale
  The River Guide is an outdoor archetype, a sunburnt romantic whose everyday existence is a bucket list adventure for the rest of us. They read inscrutable water, navigate person-eating hazards, and exude a natural connection to the canyons through which they guide us—and, in the Grand Canyon, all of that gets turned up to 11. Cindell Dale has guided “the...
I Have 4 Kids—This Is the Back-to-School Gear That’s Saving My Sanity
  I’m the father of two middle-school girls and two grade-school boys. Weekdays during the school year are absolute sprints that start before dawn and end when my wife and I fall asleep before 9:30 p.m. As many of you can relate, it’s exhausting. As a gear reviewer, I’ve spent a lot of time dialing in the items that help keep...
More Pockets, Minimal Weight: Deuter Speed Lite Pro 30L Review
  When I’m 2,000-plus vertical feet and 10 miles into a hike, the last thing I want to think about is the weight of my pack pulling me down. Luckily, as I hiked wearing the Deuter Speed Lite Pro, the thought didnt cross my mind. The pack was loaded with gear, but it wasnt slowing me up or weighing me down...
Tara Dower Sets New Overall Supported FKT on Vermont’s Long Trail
  The original version of this story was published on iRunFar.   Before dawn on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, Tara Dower reached the southern terminus of the 272-mile Long Trail at the Vermont–Massachusetts border. She had set a new overall supported fastest known time (FKT) on the route with a time of 3 days, 18 hours, and 29 minutes.   This bests the previous overall...
Bats in the Attic: NPS Contacts Grand Teton Lodge Guests for Rabies Risk Assessments
  If you stayed at Jackson Lake Lodge in Grand Teton National Park between May 5 and July 17, 2025, the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) might want to hear from you. The hotel discovered a bat colony in a shared attic of one building. The agencies are now coordinating risk assessments...

Smart Design Upgrades, Easy Access, All-Day Comfort: Mystery Ranch Updates the Glacier Backpack
  It doesn’t matter how long you’ve spent walking in the woods; you inevitably have a favorite pack. It’s comforting, familiar, and the one you go back to repeatedly. Admittedly, I was reticent to give up on my favorite pack and put on Mystery Ranch’s Glacier pack. I was delighted when I realized this pack provides all my favorite features, plus...
The Gear PCT Thru-Hikers Are Loving (And Ditching) This Year
  It isn’t that hard to find them in town. Thru-hikers are predictable — more animal-like in behavior than town and city folk. Burger stands are typical spotting grounds. Any cheap motel with the door wide open and sink-washed laundry on the railing is a likely habitat. Natural shade lures them in.   But the annual PCT Days is a next-level draw...
We Tested the Redesigned 2026 Can-Am Defender Lineup: What Was Good Is Now Great
  UTV manufacturers love to shout “all-new” the same way gas station sushi shouts “fresh.” Most of the time, it’s a reach. A new hood shape and a tweaked badge do not equal a redesign.   Can-Am didn’t play that game. The 2026 Defender lineup actually changed. This isn’t lipstick on a bumper. The brand rebuilt the platform from the ground up....
RallyCrew: The Whitewater Community’s New Digital Eddy
  Since the popular Boatertalk forum shuttered in 2020, there hasnt been a central meeting point for whitewater paddlers. But, on Thursday, August 21, 2025, a new home for the whitewater community will be available to all. Its called RallyCrew.   The whole idea behind RallyCrew is to create a global platform for whitewater paddlers — kayakers, canoeists, rafters, packrafters, and SUPers...

  This story was originally published on Bikerumor.   BikeOn is shaking up the power meter world with the launch of CycleClick, a compact, clip-on device that claims pro-level power metrics with no tools, no crank swaps, no fuss.   Whats the catch? Its a wild design that connects to the chain and pulls all the data from the movement of the chain...
