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.

Rugged, Refined, and Recraftable: Danner Mountain 600 EVO Hiking Boots Review
  I can’t even fathom how many hiking routes have been found and peaks bagged in a pair of Danners. I just semi-retired a 7-year-old pair of the Danner Jags. There’s still life left in them. But not enough to put them through the level of abuse I used to.   In 2016, Danner introduced us to its Mountain 600 — a...
Summer Work in a Mountain Town: Dreamy. The Rent: Not So Much.
  I want to live and work in a mountain town this summer, but finding affordable housing is proving to be near impossible. Can you give me any tips or direction so I can turn this dream into reality? —A Frustrated Flatlander   “I came for the winter and stayed for the summer” is a common mountain-town refrain. That sentiment, combined with...

Can You Name the Trails in These Historic Photographs?
  In a fast-changing world, the permanence of our favorite hiking trails is comforting. Apart from the occasional closure, reroute, or bump in crowds, most of us could go back and hike the same miles again and again, and enjoy the enduring views. But decades from now, will that still be true?   With the help of the National Park Service’s historical...
Why Are We So Annoyed by Remote Workers in Sprinter Vans?
  Dear Sundog,   I was looping through a campground looking for a spot, and found them not only full (no big surprise) but filled with Mercedes vans whose occupants were typing at laptops, buds in ears, even a few satellite thingies mounted on roofs. In other words, they were working. It felt so unfair that the very limited number of sites,...
Altra Experience Form Review: Sneaky Good Running Shoes
  Sometimes I feel bounce or rebound. Other times, Ill sense more speed from a pronounced rocker. And, of course, sometimes I notice hot spots, tightness, instability, or other red flags when I test running shoes.   Four miles into my latest test run of the Altra Experience Form —a road shoe with a slight 4mm drop —I was beaming. The sun...

The Best Running Shirts and Tank Tops for Women
  Summer running is both a joy and a challenge. The good news is you don’t have to bundle up and freeze until you work up a sweat—you can head out and be comfortable in your lightest, thinnest gear.
