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.

How to Pack for Air Travel Like the Ultimate Pro
  It’s fun to imagine an apocalyptic scenario, and purchase the kind of neon green tomahawk you think will help you defeat zombie hoards. (Spoiler alert: it won’t.) But when it comes to preparing for more likely situations—say, an emergency while traveling—many of us are guilty of being caught flat-footed.   I get it. With severely limited space in carry-on luggage, plus...
Sitka Studios Wants to Use Cutting-Edge Apparel to Sell You on Conservation
  Who makes the most advanced outdoor clothing? Ask a skier or a hiker, and theyre likely to name some familiar brands. Ask a hunter, and they will probably tell you Sitka Gear. I tend to side with the hunters.   Sitka Gear has been at the forefront of technical innovation in apparel that keeps you warm and dry when youre in...
The E-Bike of the Seas: Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu ePDL+ 120 Review
  “So, is it really kayaking, then?” A small crowd had gathered around the dock to inspect the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu ePDL+, the first recreational kayak to incorporate an electric pedal drive. I’m not sure they were immediately sold.   The neo-Luddite in me was steadfast: of course not. But, softening, I reconsidered. Yes, of course. Maybe? The Malibu is...
Better Than the Fan-Favorite Original: Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro Boot Review
  You’re lucky if you show up to a foot or more of blower powder, blanketing the jagged peaks and tumbling glaciers around Chamonix. So I didn’t squander the opportunity. I pushed my jet-lagged body into the backcountry to bounce and slice through the powder lap after lap, stopping only to gape at my surroundings.    But even in this Eden of...
Fill Your Own 1-Lb. Propane Bottles at the Station: Ignik Launches ‘TapRack’
  A buddy of mine nearly blew his garage up trying to refill his 1-pound propane bottles for his camping grill. Dont be like my buddy.   Refilling disposable propane bottles at home is downright dangerous (just ask my buddy) and even illegal in most places due to the hazards. But those classic green bottle propane tanks serve us so well for...
The 19 Funniest Mountain Project Comments on Yosemite Routes
  Sometimes, we go to Mountain Project for the beta. But sometimes, we go for the chat. And sometimes, the chat is funny. We’ve seen brawls break out over bolts and grades. Stoke-spangled reviews—and ho-hum appraisals of testpieces. Crusty cameos. Sketchy ethics. And non-sequiturs that add to the lore of the classics.   Here are 19 of the funniest Mountain Project comments...
Shoes That Help Muscles Recover: Roll Recovery SUPERPLUSH Classic Review
  It’s not that I don’t believe the research showing that exercising consistently without recovery time can lead to decreased strength gains and possibly injury. It’s just that finding the time to take these breaks is hard. Needless to say, when a product that promised multitasking recovery benefits rolled across my desk, I was intrigued, especially since it came from a...
Hiking with Your Dog? Watch Out for These Dangerous Plants
  While hiking a snowy mesa in Flagstaff, Arizona, I noticed my dog was limping. Every few steps, she’d tuck up her back paw and hop on three legs. We stopped, and I knelt to inspect. There, piercing her paw pad, was a long cactus spine. Gently, I held her paw and pulled it straight out. I hadn’t noticed the hazard...
Kayak Turkey Hunting: Gear Up, Rig Right, Tag Out
  Most turkey hunters overlook one of the most effective tools: the kayak. When properly rigged, a kayak becomes your stealthy, silent partner, getting you closer to wary gobblers, accessing untouched terrain, and helping you outpace other hunters. A smart kayak setup doesnt just boost your odds; it transforms your entire turkey hunting experience.   My a-ha moment came early one spring...
Speedy Sole Meets Snug Support: SCARPA Rush 2 Pro Mid GTX Review
  I’m buzzing my way up the cactus- and scrub-lined Lost Mines Trail at Big Bend National Park in Far West Texas in the dark on a mission to make it to the top before sunrise. I break into a trot and hop over a tarantula that crawls out of a hole in the rocks along the path.   And I give...
Automakers Scramble to Respond to Trump’s Tariff War
  While the new trade sanctions are expected to add thousands to the cost of the typical new vehicle, even those assembled in the U.S., some manufacturers promise to hold the line on prices — for now.   On Friday, Hyundai launched a new “Customer Assurance” program that aims to soothe consumer fears about the potential impact of the new Trump tariffs on...
