Kaitum 2
$1,185.00
Description

  Maximum usable space, outstanding comfort, and strength in a lightweight package

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

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

Altra Experience Form Review: Sneaky Good Running Shoes
  Sometimes I feel bounce or rebound. Other times, Ill sense more speed from a pronounced rocker. And, of course, sometimes I notice hot spots, tightness, instability, or other red flags when I test running shoes.   Four miles into my latest test run of the Altra Experience Form —a road shoe with a slight 4mm drop —I was beaming. The sun...
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...
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...
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...

As an Olympic Athlete, Freezing My Eggs Was a Gift to Myself

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,...
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. While spandex shorts were once dominant in mountain biking, baggy shorts are by far the most common for 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...
Rugged, Refined, and Recraftable: Danner Mountain 600 EVO Hiking Boots Review
  I can’t even fathom how many hiking routes have been found and peaks bagged in a pair of Danners. I just semi-retired a 7-year-old pair of the Danner Jags. There’s still life left in them. But not enough to put them through the level of abuse I used to.   In 2016, Danner introduced us to its Mountain 600 — a...
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...
