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.

How to switch intensities on the bike
  Elite, draft–legal bike legs can be brutal. Yes, high-aerobic threshold power is critical to be able to deal with the racing demands but there’s more to it than that.   Short laps on the bike generally mean lots of corners, so lots of decelerating and accelerating, while large packs make the effort more like an on/off light switch.   Often the hardest...
How to deal with heavy legs on the bike
  Can't get going on the bike leg post-swim? It's not unusual, and there are several factors and scenarios that could contribute to this frustrating situation mid-race.   Here are some considerations and tips to prevent and treat the feeling should it affect you.   Can the swim affect my bike leg performance?   If you've had a stressful swim – say you've been...
Why fatigue is great for learning swim skills
  We’re usually taught that skills are best learned when we’re completely fresh, with little to no fatigue. While there is certainly value in taking that approach, it doesn’t mean that you should only work on skills when you’re feeling good.   In fact, working on your skills specifically when you’re tired can actually improve your skills, rather them make them worse....
How to cycle uphill like a pro
  Whether we’re competing at a pimply Perranporth Triathlon or a pancake-flat Dorney, many of our training rides require the strength, skills and necessary strategies to peak up (and downhill) as, unless you live in East Anglia, ride long enough and you’ll be heading upwards… and then downwards.   Hills should be an integral part of your training plan. They naturally build...
When to use two swim drills in the same set
  All drills have advantages, and all drills have disadvantages. Rather than accepting this reality, we can overcome it by using multiple drills at the same time to retain the advantages, while eliminating the disadvantages.   In this article, I’ll show you three ways to make it happen.   Sensory and movement drills   Sensory drills can be really useful for helping you feel...
How to develop a smoother, more efficient pedal stroke
  Pedalling technique is a big topic of debate among cycling coaches, with some advocating drill sessions, single-leg work and the use of pedalling analysis software. At the other end are those who say just get out, ride your bike and your pedal stroke will look after itself.   As with most things, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. If...
How to overcome your fear of going fast on descents
  If you've had a bad fall on the bike recently and are struggling to regain confidence on descents then help is at hand.   You've probably ridden downhill thousands of times without trouble but it just takes one 'off' to smash your confidence and reduce the enjoyment of cycling outdoors.   So, whether the road surface was wet, gravelly or you were...
Interval training: what it is, how to do it and why you should do it
  Interval training workouts involve structured exercising at different intensities with recovery periods in between. High intensity is usually anaerobic exercise, while the recovery periods involve activity of lower intensity.   High-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts exercise the cardiovascular system, which will then improve the athlete's aerobic capacity leading them to exercise for longer and/or more intense levels.   To be faster come...
How to improve your cycling efficiency
  Cadence refers to the amount of times you complete a full pedal revolution each minute, and is something you will naturally settle on with time spent in the saddle.   Studies have shown that it’s an individual preference and also that different types of riding suit different cadence zones – time trialling is generally a slightly lower cadence; bunch racing a...
How to beat speed wobbles on the bike
  Speed wobbles on the bike are a curious phenomenon. At best they’re frightening. At worst they can result in a crash. But the good news is that they’re completely avoidable.   What is a speed wobble?   A speed wobble is a fast oscillation of the front wheel. It starts as a little shimmy and can lead to the whole bike shaking...
Beginner's guide to off-road biking
  Off-road riding isn’t for everyone. You’re going to get muddy (in the UK, at least), you’re going to crash regularly when starting out (at least the landing is generally softer than on the road!) and you’re going to need some new kit to get the most from your rides. The benefits are myriad, though.   You can explore the countryside in...
Cycling: how to ride downhill fast and safely
  The only way to improve your downhill confidence and skills is to practise so, rather than treating descents just as a chance for recovery, focus on riding them as fast and safely as you can. Here's how…   How should you position yourself going downhill?   When riding downhill, a balanced position on the bike is vital. Essentially this simply means you...
