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.

Like a Hug for Your Foot: Salomon X Ultra 4 Mid GORE-TEX Hiking Boots
  Soft materials plus a higher cut for extra ankle support make this a very plush boot. If you associate hiking boots with bulky, stiff leather, then the X Ultra 4 Mid GTX ($175) will be sure to change your mind. This boot is noticeably softer than other boots we tested, but will still provide ample support over the miles.   The...
Lightweight Frontside Overachiever: Renoun Endurance 98 All-Mountain Skis Review
  Ski construction hasn’t seen a ton of game-changing innovations since shape skis came out. Sure, every year new skis come out that combine carbon, metal, wood, and plastic in unique ways, but nothing earth-shattering.   Direct-to-consumer, Renoun uses a non-Newtonian polymer (I’ll attempt to explain later) to give their skis variable vibration damping. And they have a case for being the...
2025 VW ID.Buzz First Drive Review: The Hippie Van Is Back
  Now, you can finally stop holding your breath. If you’re looking for an all-new version of the classic people-mover, the 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz is just getting ready to roll into U.S. showrooms.   The German automaker has done a surprisingly good job at picking up the classic Microbus design cues, starting with the blunt nose adorned with an oversized “VW” logo....
Cut Weight, Boost Warmth: Big Agnes Retools Bestselling Rapide SL Sleeping Pad (Review)
  A sleeping pad is one of the most important purchases a backpacker or camper can make. Nothing affects your recovery, performance, and overall mood like sleep does — which was why I was grateful this fall for my Big Agnes Rapide SL. Despite sleeping on rocky, uneven surfaces and the cold Northwestern weather I had been camping in, I was...
‘Project 35’: How Mark Cavendish Broke Tour de France Stage Win Record
  Before July 3, 2024, the legendary cyclist Eddy Merckx held the Tour de France stage win record for an astonishing 48 years. On that day, 39-year-old Briton Mark Cavendish raised his arms in victory after a chaotic sprint to end the 110-mile stage from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne to Saint-Vulbas. This 35th win vaulted Cavendish to a pedestal all his own.   Cavendishs 19-year...
Lightweight, Accurate, and Consistent: Bowtech Eva Gen 3 Review
  If Robin Hooding the first two arrows out of a bow is a sign of success, the Bowtech Eva Gen 3 is about to take your money. Sure, my arrow-splitting antics could have been a fluke. But it happened and was quite an auspicious start for a brand-new bow.   As the name implies, theBowtech Eva Gen 3($1,199) is the third...
One-Dollar Timex: Limited-Edition Timepiece Celebrates 170 Years
  If youve been holding out on buying a name-brand wristwatch because of the price, then this is the deal that you — and your parents, and your parents parents — have been waiting for!   On November 16, Timex will launch a limited run of Waterbury timepieces that pay homage to the Yankee pocket watch that sold for $1 in 1854....
Incredible Bike for the Price: Honda CRF300L Dual-Sport Motorcycle Review
  Hondas dual-sport lineup of CRF and XR models represents some of the most utilitarian and affordable motorcycles ever sold. All but one of the bikes cost under $7,000. They can all scoot around urban centers, cruise highways, and provide recreational dirt riding. Hondas reliability is also a key selling point.   The 2024 CRF300L is in the sweet spot of Hondas...
Warren Miller, Reimagined: ‘Girl Winter’ Ski Film Tour Features Femme-Forward Shorts
  Ski and snowboard movies tend to have a lot of men in them. Sure, one or two films a year try to include a segment with mostly or all female athletes. From time to time, theres even a full film that keeps women at the center of the story and action, like Nexus, Advice for Girls, or Here, Hold My...
Tanner Wanish and Michael Vaill Break Alex Honnold’s Yosemite Triple Crown Record
  Alex Honnold is an indelible name in Yosemite climbing, but he may need to make room for Wanish (34) and Michael Vaill (32), who completed the Triple Crown in 17 hours and 55 minutes this past weekend. This new mark bests Honnolds prior speed record by just over an hour.   View this post on Instagram A post shared by Maxim...
Park Rangers Charge North Face Athlete for Cutting Switchback on FKT Attempt
  It has been a rollercoaster couple of months for Michelino Sunseri. On September 2, the 32-year-old athlete set the fastest known time (FKT) on Grand Teton, sprinting from the trailhead to the summit and back in just 2 hours, 50 minutes, and 50 seconds. Sixteen days later, that record was revoked when Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) notified fastestknowntime.com that...
