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.

Diesel DEF Limp Mode Anxiety Be Gone: EPA Rolls Back More Environmental Protections
  Just two weeks ago, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) made an extraordinary announcement: Pollution from global warming would no longer be considered a threat to public health.   Known as the endangerment finding, the Obama-era policy empowered federal officials to regulate pollution caused by vehicles and power plants. It also led to electric vehicle subsidies that boosted the...

Magnetic Adventure Pack Goes on Hips or Handlebars: Gossamer Gear Piku Sling Review
  The wildfire smoke rolled in quickly and was thick enough that I felt it in my lungs after just 20 minutes. When I started hiking, it was clear out, but the wind changed and haze from the forest fires now obscured the mountains around me. I felt wheezy, my eyes started itching, and I stopped jogging the flats. I was...
I Sold My Old Boat and It Broke. Should I Offer a Refund?
  Dear Sundog,   I listed an old sailboat for sale for $3,000, which happened to be the amount I’d put into it with a new engine and other repairs. No takers. I dropped the price but still nothing. Finally I slashed it to $1200, and got three buyers immediately. One guy said hed buy it sight unseen. I was out of...
‘Jump Off Everything Energy’: Rome Stale Crewzer Snowboard Review
  When I strap into the Rome Stale Crewzer snowboard, I start to interpret the terrain in a different way. Under my feet, this design feels confidence-inspiring, poppy, and impact-absorbing. With it, the mountain has become my park: I look for side hits and playful features. While Im not a dedicated Slopestyle master, the Stale Crewzer inspires me to explore the...
What’s Harder Than the Ironman World Championship, with Chelsea Sodaro
  We love our stories of human endurance, from Shackleton’s famed expedition to the 11-hour Wimbledon match to days-long ultramarathons. Hell, even the Coney Island Hot Dog eating contest is broadcast on television; that’s just how much we celebrate a person pushing themselves to the brink. But the moments that inspire the most are the ones in which a solo athlete...
We Ran in La Sportiva’s Fastest Trail Shoe: Prodigio Pro Review
  There’s nothing quite like the freedom of running fast across a rocky ridgeline with massive relief on all sides. Alpine terrain is where I really hit my stride. Not because I get stronger at higher elevations, but because, unlike top-tier runners, I require some kind of external motivation to make such a debilitating effort worth it.   La Sportiva’s new Prodigio...
Simple, Straightforward, Low to the Ground: Gravirax GR-4 Ski and Snowboard Rack System Review
  Living in a ski town means frequently driving to the ski resort or bus stop. Often, loading, locking, unlocking, and unloading a roof ski rack takes me as much time as driving up the resort (except when I cant find a parking spot).   Roof racks can be awkward to load, create noise at highway speeds, and add drag. After a season...

As Everest Costs Rise, Nepal Waives Fees for 97 Far-Flung Peaks
  Each year, thousands of people from around the world flock to Mount Everest for a chance to reach its distant summit. Now, Nepalese tourism officials are trying to encourage climbers to try one of the countrys many other peaks, instead.   For the next 2 years, nearly 100 mountains in the Nepalese Himalayas will be free to climb — no government...
Exploring Tennessee’s Top Lakes
  Anyone who knows Tennessee knows about its abundance of freshwater. Anglers in particular can thank the varied geography and Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) history of hydroelectric development for its verdant waterways and winding miles of shoreline both natural and manmade. The Volunteer State also has another treasured resource when it comes to fishing: Bill Dance. Known as “the world’s most-loved...
Lootie’s World Run: Running Around the Globe With a Stroller Full of Gear
  There are endurance athletes — and then there are the athletes who run a marathon every day for over 600 days. Marie Lootie Leautey, the fastest woman to run around the world, is in the latter category. Leautey, a business person turned globe-trotting adventurer, ran 17,500 miles across four continents from December 2019 to September 2022, becoming only the second...
