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.

Finally, a Climbing Shoe for Most of Us: Evolv V6 Review
  Evolv caters to mid-level rock jocks with its V6 rock shoe, straddling the vast ability levels between beginner and advanced. The shoe has attributes that can carry a rock climber moving beyond the lowest grades but not yet ready for super-tight, downturned, soft, and relatively unstructured shoes that heavily seasoned climbers tend to prefer.   I tested the Evolv V6 for...
The Best Tents for Camping in Comfort and Style

Here’s What I Wish I Knew Before Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail
  At the time, I thought I was a genius.   I was about 250 miles into the Pacific Crest Trail, still a relative novice. It was lunchtime, and as I looked through my food bag, I saw the usual suspects: ramen packets, peanut butter, and lots of high calorie snacks. I considered getting out my stove and cooking a “ramen bomb”—combining...

The 11 Best Road Trips in the World
  I love a good road trip, especially in the mountains of Colorado, where I live. It’s when I do some of the best creative thinking, and it feels like the possibilities for exploration are endless.

Why Are People Afraid of Riding Bikes in Cotton?
  There are a few things you learn right away when you start cycling “seriously.” Carbon fiber is the best material for a bicycle. (False.)  You need to use clipless pedals for maximum efficiency. (Double false.)  And of course you should avoid wearing cotton, since it’s a very poor choice when it comes to cycling attire. (Wildly, ridiculously false.)   So what...

Is Your Local Bouldering Area in Trouble? Call the Zoo.
  At the summit of North Carolina’s Ridges Mountain lie hundreds of bulbous black boulders whose splitter cracks and vexing friction problems have long tested climbers during winter months when temperatures drop at the mountainous crags around Boone and Asheville.
