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.

Kawasaki Launches Its First 4-Wheel Electric Vehicle, and It Is Not What We Expected
  Kawasaki is no stranger to producing all forms of internal combustion engines, powering anything from tiny 50cc dirt bikes for kids to massive 20-cylinder diesel marine engines larger than a bus. The NAV 4e is a distinct departure, solely powered by lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries.   Kawasaki labels the NAV 4e as a PTV, or personal transportation vehicle. It retains the...
Slingshot 10: Polaris Adds Flash to Celebrate a Decade of Three-Wheel Fun
  The Polaris Slingshot just turned 10 years old. Thats 10 years of offering an experience thats not quite like anything else on the market — a low-sitting driving position, three wheels, and a big four-cylinder engine.

I Survived Downhill Skiing’s Rowdiest Party
  Stepping off the train in Kitzbühel, Austria, feels like entering hallowed ground: one of the most famous ski towns in the Alps, chartered in 1271 by Duke Ludwig II of Bavaria. I inhaled the crisp afternoon air and began a short walk to my accommodations, passing fur boutiques and high-end ski shops, medieval churches, and brightly lit, glassed-in hotel lobbies....
The Trend of Hormone Balancing with Food Is Total B.S.
  In 2018, I convinced myself my hormones were out of whack. Acne and unusual tiredness are supposedly tell-tale signs that your hormone levels are off—I had both. So, I scheduled an appointment with my physician and asked him to test my hormone levels.   A quick blood draw revealed that my androgens, a group of hormones produced by the adrenal gland...

The Most Comfortable (And Expensive) Boot Liners I’ve Ever Worn: Surefoot Custom Liners & Orthotics Review
  It was 2 days before Thanksgiving, and Aspen was getting absolutely nuked by an early winter snowstorm. I could almost smell the electric stoke in the air as the ski town buzzed with powder day energy.   My timing couldnt have been better. Id come to Aspen to test out the Surefoot custom liner fitting process. The brand claims its custom...
Is Alpaca the New Merino?
  As a gearhead who mostly tests running shoes and apparel made for high-energy activities, I don’t often fire up about a sweater. But when I pulled on Paka’s  Original Sweater for the first time, I didn’t want to take it off.   I wore it while working at my desk. I wore it while walking my dog. I even ran about...
Black Diamond Issues Recall of Vision Climbing Harness
  Black Diamond Equipment issued a recall today for its Vision harness due to premature degradation of its specialized materials and construction.   The Vision harness in Black Diamonds recall uses Vectran fibers in the waist belt, leg loops, belay loop, and tie-in points. This material is unique for harnesses. It helps make the Vision one of the lightest, nudging my scale...

Injuries at and below the knee make up approximately 70 percent of all running-related injuries in athletes of all genders, and the ankle is the second most likely spot (after the knee) to get hurt. But most of the common ankle injuries, like Achilles tendinopathy—which...
EarthRoamer Ownership: Truths, Triumphs, and Tribulations

That’s the EarthRoamer. It’s not just a camper. It’s a rolling sanctuary that dares to combine rugged overland...
