$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.

177-Mile ‘Denver Orbital Trail’ Offers City-Accessible Thru-Hike
  Thru-hikes, section hikes, FKTs, and other trail-centric mile-stacking objectives are all the rage right now. The Appalachian, Continental Divide, Pacific Crest, and similar trails are seeing greater use than ever by hikers trying to complete them — all in one go or in sections. The Appalachian Trail alone sees 3,000 attempted thru-hikers every year. In 2023, 1,201 successfully completed it....
As an Olympic Athlete, Freezing My Eggs Was a Gift to Myself

Why Is this Group of Skiers is the Most Likely to Have a Fatal Accident?
  When an avalanche ripped down a popular run in Palisades Tahoe on January 10, killing a 66-year-old local and trapping several others, the ski world was shocked. Avalanches in in-bounds, controlled ski resort terrain are rare—but sadly, the death it caused is not. A couple months later, a 58-year-old man died after crashing into a tree at Keystone Resort. The...
The Keys to Courtney Dauwalter’s Continued Dominance
  Ultrarunner extraordinaire Courtney Dauwalter has picked up in 2024 right where she left off last year. After famously winning three of ultrarunning’s most epic races  during the span of about nine weeks last summer—Western States 100, Hardrock 100, and Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc—the 39-year-old athlete from Leadville, Colorado, defended her Transgrancanaria 126K title in a decisive wire-to-wire win in late February...
Overland Expo West 2024 Best in Show: Top Products
  Ive been to every Overland Expo West since 2012. This year, there were 415 vendors displaying the latest and greatest from the overland industry.   Most of the products on display are old news to me and those that have seen my coverage of overland and automotive events, like SEMA, over the years here on GearJunkie. But, I make it my...
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,...

Go Faster and Farther With These Road and Gravel E-Bikes
  What makes for a great road and gravel e-bike? The formula is simple: familiar handling, comfortable positioning, and the right amount of assistance to make the rider feel connected to the bike. How a bike approaches that formula is very different, however.   These bikes have come a long way over the past few years. The best e-bikes are hard to...
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. The bad news is that, once you warm up, even the skimpiest clothes can feel clingy and oppressive. This is the season...

The Best Mountain Bike Shorts of 2024
  A quality pair of mountain bike shorts is the core of your riding kit. The best mountain bike shorts not only look good but fit comfortably, provide protection from the elements, breathe well, and allow for unrestricted movement and easy pedaling.

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...
