Kaitum 3 GT

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 Biniam Girmay Made History at the 2024 Tour de France
  Heroes of the Tour de France have a few things in common. Most are white men, and they tend to hail from European nations with strong cycling cultures and robust infrastructure for developing professional racers. Over the event’s 121-year history, riders from France, Belgium, Spain, and Italy have dominated.   Perhaps that’s why fans of the sport were so enthralled by...
The Best G-Wagen Ever Is Electric: 2025 Mercedes G 580 With EQ Technology Review
  Known officially as the G 580 with EQ Technology, the new G stuffs a battery pack and four electric motors into the internal combustion version’s existing chassis rather than starting from scratch. The electric G-Wagen also receives slight stylistic revisions, mostly in the name of aero.   But even if electrification represents the logical next step for a historically established military...
Many in This Navajo Community Didn’t Have Electricity. An Unlikely Foursome Collaborated to Make a Difference.
  For decades, American alpinist Kitty Calhoun made a name topping out on some of the world’s highest peaks, including the West Pillar of 27,766-foot Makalu in the Himalayas. But what stayed with her more than any summit view were the alarming effects of climate change.   At such elevations, she often noticed melting ice, a hindrance to her ascents. But in...
People Are Traveling More Than Ever, Driving Residents Crazy. It’s Time to Listen to the Locals.
  Paige McClanahan, a journalist and travel writer, is much too diplomatic to phrase it this way, so allow me to be the grump: you’re the reason locals so often dislike tourists.   “Travel has become a consumerist exercise where the goal is to get our money’s worth out of a place,” McClanahan says in a phone interview from her home in...

  Learning to ride a bike can be your first taste of freedom. Suddenly, the world beyond your front door opens up, ready to be explored on two wheels.   But for Marley Blonsky it wasn’t that simple.

Wahoo ELEMNT Ace Review: Air Pressure Sensor Is Like a Wind Tunnel on Your Bike Computer
  To many cyclists, especially road racers and triathletes, the ability to measure aerodynamic drag is the holy grail of data. The drag created by the body is one of the largest determinants of performance in these sports. And Wahoo brings relative aerodynamic drag measurements to the handlebar.   Wahoos air pressure sensor is a category first and is, by far, the...

How Indigenous Activists Lead the Largest Dam Removal Project in American History
  Molli Myers was pregnant with her firstborn when the salmon began to die. It was 2002, during the depths of a yearslong drought, and farmers far upstream of her community on the Yurok reservation in Northern California had pressured the George W. Bush administration to divert water from the Klamath River in Oregon to irrigate their fields. Water temperatures rose...
Kayak Fishing Upgrades: Take Your Vessel to the Next Level
  Fishing from a kayak offers a unique experience, allowing for a closer connection with nature and access to less pressured waters. There are no gas station stops or the loud revving of engines.   And often, kayaks are allowed on lakes and waterways that motorized boats are not, giving kayak anglers more variation in where and how they can fish. Kayak...
Here’s What It’s Like to Go Camping with Shailene Woodley
  The camp chairs are set up. A cracked clipboard rests under my arm. I’m stuffed into my mom jeans. It’s showtime.   June gloom blankets Encinal Canyon in a lush mist. I could be in Narnia instead of Malibu, but I barely notice. My body stands in front of a marooned Airstream, waiting. But my mind is back home, wondering if...
Women Weren’t “Tough Enough” to Finish the Barkley Marathons—Until Jasmin Paris Came Along
  In a 2015 YouTube video, an interviewer asked Gary “Laz” Cantrell why no women had finished his race, the infamous Barkley Marathons in the rugged mountains of Tennessee. “The race is too hard for women,” he replied with a sly grin. “They are simply not tough enough to do it, and I get to say that for as long as...
To Break a World Record on Everest, Nepali Mountaineer Purnima Shrestha First Broke with Tradition
  Born into a family of subsistence farmers in the tiny village of Arughat, Nepal, Purnima Shrestha thought that the mountains around her were out of reach. Her village is a stop on the Manaslu Circuit, en route to the eponymous 8,000-meter peak, but Shrestha’s family didn’t even have running water. As a woman, she was expected to marry young, raise...
