Kaitum 2 GT
$1,370.00
Description

  Remarkable two door/two vestibule tent with maximum usable space

  Because of its two door/two vestibule configuration, its lightweight yet strong materials and its smart design, the Hilleberg Kaitum 2 GT provides a stunning balance of super light weight, overall comfort and high strength. Backpackers gravitate toward the Kaitum 2 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 2 GT because of its all-season strength as well as its low weight. And taller users will find the Kaitum’s plentiful floor space, vertical entrances, and vertical walls a roomy pleasure.

  These users opt for the Kaitum 2 GT over the Kaitum 2 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.

A Packable Whitewater Punch: Werner Sherpa 4-Piece Paddle Review
  The last potentially unexplored whitewater canyon of the Nooksack watershed was right there in front of us, and like on any exploratory whitewater descent, the nerves, excitement, and fear all came flooding in at once.   After scouting, we ran the first two rapids — big and powerful — and we could sense the river was picking up some serious gradient....

Tamayo Perry, Legendary Surfer & ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Actor, Dies in Oahu Shark Attack

He was a dedicated public servant guarding Hawaii’s waters for locals and beachgoers alike. He even played a small role as an actor in Pirates of the Caribbean, among other movies.

Still a Rally Car at Heart: 2024 Subaru WRX TR Review
  The 2024 Subaru WRX TR is the hottest version of the Subaru WRX. For now, that is. Because the TR is a 1-year-only special that is biding time until an even hotter one arrives.   That doesnt mean you should wait, though, because the basics of the last remaining rally sedan are better than ever, and the Rex is still equally...
Bikepacking to Every National Park in a Single 18K Mile Push: Lessons Learned
  When Spencer McCullough decided to spend over a year cycling to every national park in the contiguous U.S., he didnt have much experience. The 28-year-old had only gone bikepacking once before — a 3-day trip planned entirely by a friend.   But after 411 days and 18,247 miles, McCullough has finally met his goal of biking to 51 national parks, and hes...
Amazfit Cheetah Pro Review: Can This Budget Fitness Watch Hack It for Endurance Use?
  But, Amazfit? I’d never even heard of the brand. Was it Amazon’s entry into the market? How would it stack up with Garmin, COROS, Suunto, and Apple? The Cheetah Pro certainly doesnt have the name recognition of those fitness watch brands, but it talked the big talk on paper — and the name sounded fast.   As it turns out, even if...

Frost Fighter: Rabbit Defroster Speed Tights Review
  Adjusting to winter running can be tricky. Swift movement in 30 degrees in November feels much colder than 30 degrees in March.
