$1,380.00
Description

  Highly versatile all-season tent; light, strong, and roomy

  The Hilleberg Kaitum 4 is a highly versatile all-season tent. Providing a superb balance of remarkably light weight, comfort, and high strength, it is an excellent choice for those who prefer the flexibility of a two entrance, two vestibule design, but don’t necessarily require the extra strength of the Black Label Keron models. The standard sized vestibules can be fully rolled away for tre­mendous venting, and its front section can also be rolled back to create a very protected “covered porch.”

  Backpackers, paddle tourers and cyclists will appreciate the Kaitum’s roominess, light weight, and small packed size. Hunters, winter campers, ski tourers, and climbers will favor its all-season strength and impressive space to weight ratio, and taller users of all types will find the Kaitum models a roomy pleasure. This four-person version of the Kaitum is perfect for backpacking families, couples who camp with their dogs, or anyone looking for a roomy but remarkably lightweight 4-person tent.

  A note on colors: Fabric dyes have natural variations, so the actual tent color may look slightly different from what is pictured here.

7 Core-Strengthening Exercises That Every Athlete Needs
  For most of the 20 years that I’ve been a competitive runner, I’ve intentionally disregarded yoga. I assumed that it wouldn’t offer anything meaningful to my workout routine. But as I’ve become older—and, it seems, wiser—I’ve found the exact opposite to be true. Especially when it comes to the benefits I experience from core-strengthening exercises in yoga and what they...
Here’s What Dietitians Want Hikers to Know About Eating on the Trail

More Comfort, Less Durability: Chaco CushZ Sandal Review
  My feet keep finding their way back to Chacos softer sandals. From day-long walks through the humid heat of Medellin, Colombia, to short hikes along Georgia rivers, followed by nights around a campfire, my hard-working feet are reluctant to leave the extra support offered by Chacos CushZ.   Of course, these arent radically different from the Chaco Z/1, the classic sandal...
EVs Unplugged: New Report Shows Slowing Sales, Forecasts Growth
  Electric vehicle (EV) sales are likely to stagnate at the same level as 2024, when all-electric models hit a record 9.1% of the U.S. market, according to a recent report by J.D. Power.   While the lack of a robust public charging network is part of the problem, the latest J.D. Power E-Vision Intelligence Report also sees the new Trump administration...
Comedian Scott Losse Didn’t Set Out to Joke About Outdoor Recreation
  Standup comedian Scott Losse didnt set out to make fun of mountain biking, snowboarding, and other recreational activities on his Instagram feed. Like many professional comics, Losse, 44, spent several years recording videos of his observational humor to see what resonated with his audience.   He mused on the banalities of middle-aged life, weather in Seattle, and shopping at Costco. But...
Does Your Smartwatch Band Contain Forever Chemicals?
  A new study published in the American Chemical Society’s Environmental Science and Technology Letters is raising concerns about the pervasive presence of “forever chemicals” – also known as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) – in something many triathletes have on their bodies 24/7: watch bands.   These synthetic chemicals, notorious for their persistence in the environment and human body, are now...
