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.

Wild Animals Taught Me to… Run!
  Singer-songwriter David Lindes found his way into running with help from the most unexpected teacher: a bull moose. Growing up in Guatemala David had learned to ignore his body. Thanks to beatings by his adults, his body was a source of pain, and not much else. So he didn’t play sports, he didn’t dance, he found out later he wasn’t...
Taking Wind Out of the Equation: Ozonics HR500 Ozone Generator Review
  I can totally understand why many hunters won’t look twice at an ozone generator machine for scent control. Admittedly, I was also skeptical of the claims associated with the products. The hunting industry doesn’t exactly have the best reputation for products they call “game changers, especially for whitetails.   Do you remember “Gum-o-Flage,” the “Acorn Kruncher,” or the “Deerview Mirror?” There’s...
The Best Emergency Radios of 2024
  These days, we use our smartphones, computers, and TVs to keep us aware of what’s going on around us. But if a storm knocks out the power grid, our everyday tech isn’t enough.   From the cellar to the storm shelter to the mountains, we carefully tested and researched an array of products, narrowing down the best emergency radios of 2024...
Synthetic Puffy With Breathable Gills: Orage Morrisson Gilltek Hybrid Jacket Review
  I use a lot of insulated jackets, vests, and coats throughout Colorados colder months. Ive got lightweight puffies, mid-weight puffies, and full-on arctic parkas for different activities and different conditions day-to-day. But the most versatile in my collection, by far, is the Orage Morrisson Gilltek Hybrid Jacket.   This jacket has been my backcountry skiing emergency layer all season. Ive mostly...
Filson Launches ‘Ultralight’ Jacket and It Costs Less Than a Nano Puff
  Hold on to your bridle leather belts and brass buckles, Filson is about to dip its 127-year-old toe in the world of ultralight midlayers.   This week, the brand known for old-school materials and handmade craftsmanship will launch three pieces in a new Ultralight Series. Dropping on March 29, the collection includes three synthetic-insulation tops — a vest, hoodie, and jacket. And...
How Do Olympic Athletes Sleep?
  We all know that, in theory, we’re supposed to sleep a lot. After all, it boosts performance, protects against injury, accelerates recovery, improves free-throw shooting, and all sorts of other wonderful things. But sometimes there’s a gap between theory and practice. Are champion athletes also champion sleepers? Or is good sleep in the “nice to have” rather than “need to...
PHEV Offers More Power and All-Electric Range: 2025 Mercedes GLC 350e 4Matic SUV
  Take a quality luxury SUV, add power, more standard features, and all-electric range, and you likely have a winning combination. The world needs more plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) in my opinion, and Mercedes-Benz is delivering them. The latest is a PHEV version of the GLC 300 4MATIC SUV. Let me introduce you to the 2025 Mercedes GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV.   GearJunkie...
Osprey Turns 50, Hikers Get the Presents
  Fifty years ago, a young artist and hiker in Santa Cruz, California, dropped out of college and opened a backpack shop. That little storefront in downtown Santa Cruz grew into Osprey, an award-winning company that leads the backpack and luggage category and has become a household name among backpackers, hikers, cyclists, and travelers the world over. As the brand celebrates...
Crazy Suspension, Most Powerful Yet: Dream-Worthy Land Rover Defender Octa Teased
  Land Rover is embracing its inner Bond villain with a storming new Defender. The hottest Landie since Bowler Motors last had a go at the brand, the Land Rover Defender Octa promises to be the companys stiff-upper-lip answer to the Ford Bronco Raptor.   Its just a tease for now, but Land Rover is calling it a new high-performance hero. Thats...
How This $450 Inflatable Hot Tub Changed My Life
  I love ski trips—the deep powder, exploring new terrain, making friends on the lift—but my favorite part of any ski trip might be sinking into a hot tub after said skiing. There’s nothing more relaxing than easing my tired body into a bubbling pool of 104-degree water, beer in hand, memories of powder stashes dancing through my head.   That moment...
Warm, Waterproof, Wacky, and (Almost) Weightless: Fubuki Boots Review
  Rarely do I get scooped on the gear front. Ninety-nine times out of 100, the river of beta on the latest, coolest gear flows from me and empties into the ocean of friends, family, and the best damn readers on the internet.   But when a friend in Colorado sent me a picture of her latest ski tour-hut trip, I stared...
Smith’s Mono Lake Sunglasses Are Our New Favorite Everyday Shades
  Sometimes you pick a pair of sunglasses because you need it for a singular purpose, like a lightweight shield for cycling or a polarized lens for fishing. But most of the time, you choose a sunglass style for versatility—to wear while driving, walking the dog, or playing frisbee on the beach. We’re talking about the one pair of sunglasses you...
