$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.

4-Season Strength, 3-Season Weight: REI Co-op Arete ASL 2 Tent Review
  The winters in Washington are known for one thing: rain. But if you’re desperate to get outside regardless (like I am), you’ll find yourself rummaging through the thickets in a steady drizzle for a place to pitch your tent (like I did).   Despite the rain, however, I was able to enjoy a cozy evening curled up with a good book...

Love Hurts. Loving Skiing Hurts More.
  I have often joked that skiing is a jealous lover. I spend all my money on her. When she’s around, all my free time is devoted to her, too. Friendships with people who dont understand her appeal fall by the wayside —in a way, she isolates me. If I’m up too late midweek, I still answer her call at 5:45...

Why You Should Go to Iceland in the Off-Season
  There’s a saying in Iceland that’s sort of the country’s unofficial motto: Þetta reddast (sounds like “thetta rettast”). Like so many Icelandic words there isn’t a direct translation into English, but the essence of it is, “Ehhh, it’ll be fine” My good friend Pétur Magnusson, who lives in Reykjavik, tells me, “It’s a big part of our national identity. It’s...
