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.

Lynn Hill Isn’t Done Climbing
  My memoir Climbing Free focused on the first 25 years of my life as a climber. This reflection is about the next 25 years of my life as a climber and mother. I couldn’t have imagined that what started out as a simple outing in 1975 with my two older sisters, my brother, and my sister’s boyfriend Chuck would become...
Does Your Smartwatch Band Contain Forever Chemicals?
  A new study published in the American Chemical Society’s Environmental Science and Technology Letters is raising concerns about the pervasive presence of “forever chemicals” – also known as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) – in something many triathletes have on their bodies 24/7: watch bands.   These synthetic chemicals, notorious for their persistence in the environment and human body, are now...
EVs Unplugged: New Report Shows Slowing Sales, Forecasts Growth
  Electric vehicle (EV) sales are likely to stagnate at the same level as 2024, when all-electric models hit a record 9.1% of the U.S. market, according to a recent report by J.D. Power.

Comedian Scott Losse Didn’t Set Out to Joke About Outdoor Recreation
  Standup comedian Scott Losse didnt set out to make fun of mountain biking, snowboarding, and other recreational activities on his Instagram feed. Like many professional comics, Losse, 44, spent several years recording videos of his observational humor to see what resonated with his audience.   He mused on the banalities of middle-aged life, weather in Seattle, and shopping at Costco. But...

Technical Touring Pack for Fast & Light Skiers: Black Diamond Cirque 25 Review
  It’s the winter solstice in Southcentral Alaska, and I only have 5 hours of daylight. As I gained the summit ridge, its 2 p.m., and the sun is already starting to dip below the horizon. Needing to move fast to get back down before dark, I attached my skis to my pack without removing them and pounded up the boot track...
Pretty and Gritty: Artisan Cutlery Holm Folding Knife Review
  Christmas was filled with laughter, cheer, and a knock on the door from the FedEx guy — and he wasn’t delivering my “Jelly of the Month Club” package. Instead, he came bearing a box from Artisan Cutlery containing the Holm, one of the most elegantly finished knives Ive seen in quite some time.   Known for its affordable knives and common...

7 Core-Strengthening Exercises That Every Athlete Needs
  For most of the 20 years that I’ve been a competitive runner, I’ve intentionally disregarded yoga. I assumed that it wouldn’t offer anything meaningful to my workout routine. But as I’ve become older—and, it seems, wiser—I’ve found the exact opposite to be true. Especially when it comes to the benefits I experience from core-strengthening exercises in yoga and what they...

The Lightest Inflatable Sleeping Pad on the Market: Nemo Tensor Elite Review
  The trail up Mt. Katadyn, the northern terminus and highest peak along the Appalachian Trail, often sits above the clouds and cuts through car-sized boulder fields to reach the summit. Gripping a rebar ladder rung on a vertical rock face, I carefully pick another spot for my foot. I now understand why the rangers here have a fleet of daypacks...
Here’s What Dietitians Want Hikers to Know About Eating on the Trail
  I am not going to stand here in front of God and Backpacker‘s readers and pretend I always, or even usually, eat healthy on my trips. I eat loose Swedish Fish from my hipbelt pockets while I hike and wolf down instant ramen like I’m a broke college student and rent is due. I once stuffed an entire box of...
