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 the TikTok Ban Means for Outdoor Communities and Creators
  In 2023, Tatiana O’Hara, a content creator in Atlanta, Georgia, began to document her running journey on TikTok. She posted videos as a newbie runner, and soon attracted a dedicated following of other beginner runners. By the end of 2024, she had launched her own local run club. When people are looking for a run club for slower runners, they find...
Zpacks Duplex Lite Tent Review: Cut Weight, Not Comfort — Unless You’re Over 6 Feet Tall
  Many hikers become obsessed with saving weight when deciding on gear for thru-hikes. Cut a few ounces here, save a few grams there — it all adds up. Gradually, we dial in our weight item by item, realizing we didnt need a second pair of shorts or a fourth pair of socks.   A few items, however, are a necessity to...
Softshell Where You Want It, Hardshell Where You Need It: Raide Research TourTech Ski Bibs Review
  Fresh, pillowy snow was piling up on Vail Pass. Determined to get my fill of it, I charged up for my second lap, beads of sweat rolling down my face, neck, and back, wicking through my base layers and — to my relief — the Raide TourTech Ski Bibs as well. I stretched the softshell material, taking the longest strides...
This Idaho Forester Relies on His Skis to Work Through the Winter
  The Idaho Panhandle is tucked away so snugly between Washington, Montana, and British Columbia that people often forget it’s there. The landscape is characterized by dense fir, hemlock, pine, cedar, larch, and spruce forests. Deep greens and wooly, gray skies tightly hug the Purcell Trench, rimmed by the Selkirk Mountains to the Northwest and the Cabinet Mountains to the Northeast....

Denali Calling: Testing the Iridium GO! Satellite Hotspot on North America’s Tallest Mountain
  We huddled in the cook tent at 14,000 feet on the West Buttress of Denali as temperatures plummeted to near 0 degrees F. Do we stay and rest at 14K camp? Or push to high camp at 17K and try for the summit? As mountain guides, it was our responsibility to make the call, and thankfully, we had an Iridium...
Lightweight Warmth for Backcountry Hunts: Argali Alpine Sleep System Review
  Finding the right sleep system for your adventures is a bit like finding your security blanket. The wrong one ensures you dont have a good time.

Comfort and Safety Collide at $900: Bell Moto-10 Spherical Helmet Review
  My 95-year-old grandpa is often the toughest, smartest guy in the room. He raced motorcycles across the Mojave Desert and flat-bottomed boats across the Missouri River, survived Rocky Mountain snowstorms on horseback, and even built a house at age 60. The man valued reliable gear and taught me the adage, You get what you pay for.   But even with that...

The Year’s Best Planet Parade Will Be Visible Starting January 18
  It’s a great year for planet-watching. In addition to this week’s stellar views of Mars, stargazers can admire multiple “planet parades”—the simultaneous appearance of several planets in the night sky—in 2025. Arguably the best parade of the year commences on January 18, with Venus and Saturn appearing within 2.2 degrees, or roughly two pinky-widths, of each other. The parade will...

  In Japanese, the word Nisei describes someone born in North America whose parent(s) were immigrants from Japan.Its one of several terms Sierra Schlag hears people use to describe her heritage when she visits Japan.
