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.

The 13 Most Magical Long Walks In the World
  I’ve tackled sections of the Pacific Crest Trail—backpacking, day hiking, and trail running—but to think of taking months off to complete all 2,650 miles of this trail, which climbs mountain passes and traverses remote California, Oregon, and Washington, feels overwhelming. A long-distance walk, on the other hand, feels more manageable, like something any of us could pull off, given some...
Why You May Want to Consider Teaching Skiing As a Side Gig
  Like many New York City millennials, my partner and I moved upstate with our two rescue dogs early into the pandemic. We ended up in the Catskills near a ski mountain and I wasted no time applying for an instructor role. I’m now in my third year as a private ski lesson instructor, and I still work full-time during the...
Waterproof for Wet Dogs: Shodu Car Seat Cover for the Back Seat and Door Panels
  When a grumbling thunderstorm surprised my dog and me on an autumn hike, the Shodu Waterproof Dog Car Seat Cover rose to the occasion.   The storm produced so much hail and rain that the trail looked like a small creek. Water and mud dripped off my dog. Thankfully, it all beaded up on the seat covers face fabric. Puddles sat...

Snake Yoga Is Terrifying and Transformative
  Growing up in South Florida, a mere 30 minutes from the Everglades, the creatures that go bump in the night never really scared me, especially when it came to snakes. When I discovered snake yoga was offered an hour away from my current home in West Los Angeles, California, I was intrigued. I’ve been practicing yoga for four years and...

Young Americans Are Drinking Less. How Will It Change Adventure Sports Culture?
  Mountain sports are saturated with alcohol. Summit beers, lift beers, après ski, post-ride happy hours, whiskey around the campfire—some days it feels like you could drink from beginning to end of your favorite outdoor activity. But as public health officials issue warnings over alcohol and younger Americans report that they drink less than previous generations, it’s worth asking whether our outdoor...

Modern Look, Nostalgic Style: Saddleman Saddle Blanket Seat Covers Review
  If youve road tripped around the West, chances are youve seen the bench seat of an old truck covered with a woven saddle blanket. While theyre made to cushion a horses back, it turns out the durability, protection, and ability to absorb sweat also make that design fitting for a truck.

I Wear This Running Gear All Day, Even on a Plane (And Nobody Knows It)
  On a quick trip to San Diego over the holidays, my friends couldn’t stop asking about the shoes I had worn on the plane and around town.   “Those are cute, who makes them?”   “Ooh, what are those?”   “You don’t run in those, though, do you?”   The answers to these questions were Tracksmith, my sneakiest, most versatile shoes, and yes, I...
