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 Happens When Yosemite SAR Can’t Hire Rescuers?
  Nate Vince, the suddenly famous Yosemite locksmith who lost his job thanks to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)’s recent slew of layoffs, texted me while hanging off the side of El Capitan on Saturday afternoon: “Yeah, Buddy, we’re up here! The teamwork to get this done was unreal.”   I reached out to Vince as a friend of a friend...
How to Organize Your Gear Shed the Practical Way
  It’s that time of year, when we all become obsessed with bettering ourselves.

Climb Confidently, Comfortably: Scarpa Drago XT Rock Shoe Review
  Given that GearJunkie already crowned the Scarpa Drago the best climbing shoe for steep routes and boulders, it was a surprise when the Drago XT showed up in the mail. I couldnt see how Scarpa could improve such a beloved, high-performing shoe, or why it would introduce another Drago model that could sully the line.   So, I put myself on...
I Ran Without a Watch for a Month. It Completely Changed My Running.
  The first training runs I ever did were bare-wristed.   I was in sixth grade, at my middle school’s cross-country practice. Our coach told us to run a lap around the school, maybe three-quarters of a mile. I sauntered around with my friends, unencumbered by any pressure to perform, as our coach smoked a cigarette in the parking lot. Eventually, we...

Base Truck, Big Upgrades: 2025 Toyota Tundra SR5 TRD Rally Package Review
  Barreling through a washboard rough patch of dirt road, the Tundra easily glides over the bumps and provides a cushy ride. But this isn’t a TRD Pro. In fact, the SR5 trim ranks just one above the base SR. It offers spartan amounts of luxury and nearly no off-road equipment.   Yet, courtesy of the $8,660 TRD Rally Package, I’m rolling...

Climbers Secure Largest Land Acquisition in History at Red River Gorge
  The Red River Gorge Climbers Coalition (RRGCC) secured 718 acres and 14 miles of cliffline at the Red River Gorge (commonly called The Red). The RRGCC first began to pursue access to this additional area over 10 years ago.

World’s Hardest Rock Climb? Six New Moves Create Baffling Route
  Italys Excalibur route begins by stepping off a boulder onto the wall. Italian climber Stefano Ghisolfi started investigating the potential moves below the top of the boulder, which would produce a direct start.   Ghisolfi believes this low start is harder than any move on Excalibur, and he grades this section V14. This V14 would link to a V13, then into...

Luxury Home on Wheels Tackles Iconic Moab 4×4 Trails: TruckHouse R&D Mission

Harriton, the founder of American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), and Yegge, the engineer who ensures that all AEV vehicles are built to world-class standards. Back then, we were in Moab filming an episode for the now-shuttered Speed...
