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.

The Best, Most Expensive GPS Watch I’ve Ever Used: Garmin Fēnix 8 Solar Review

5 Reasons In-Person Car Auctions May Be Going, Going, Gone

Last year, Barrett-Jacksons first fall auction in Scottsdale, Ariz., even posted over $200 million...

Power, Comfort, Utility in a Capable Package: 2024 Polaris Ranger XD 1500 Review
  Utility vehicles dont often offer a ton of comfort. Thats sort of implied when a rig is labeled a utility vehicle. They are meant for work and a bit of play but often miss the mark of being cozy. Typically, you have to choose between a luxurious ride and a capable workhorse.   The 2024 Polaris Ranger XD 1500 bridges the gap...

According to federal guidelines in both the U.S. and UK, adults should do at...
‘The Fish Thief’ Explores a Crisis in the Great Lakes Caused by the Sea Lamprey
  If you grew up on any one of the Great Lakes, like I did, you may have heard of the sea lamprey—a vampiric creature that literally sucks the life out of a lake trout. As a kid, I thought they were a myth, a horror story that parents liked to tell kids on fishing trips. I wasn’t aware of the...
