Keron 3
$1,290.00
Description

  Super-strong tunnel tent for hard use; 4-season

  When Hilleberg first introduced the Keron, it quickly became the standard tent for polar expeditions because of its superb durability and excellent wind stability, its roomy interior, and its simplicity. These same traits have made the tent a favorite of outdoor enthusiasts of every kind, including professionals such as mountain guides, forest rangers, search and rescue teams, and military special operations units.

  At the same time, the Keron 3 is also an excellent choice for families, hikers and “regular” users – anyone wanting a tent that is exceptionally sturdy yet relatively light in weight, that will work for any situation, and that will handle many years of use. Indeed, the Keron 3 is an admirable choice for any backcountry adventure, from demanding, extended winter expeditions, to long or short rambles in mountains and/or forests, to casual coastal jaunts, to relaxed overnight camping outings in your local recreation area.

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

Thanks to Virtual Reality, I Climbed Mount Everest on My Lunch Break
  I climbed Mount Everest on my lunch break yesterday.   No, really—I did it from the safety and comfort of the Outside office here in Boulder.

Fun Factor Over Lap Times: Canyon Spectral 125 CF9 Long-Term Review
  I was OK with cross-country, trail, and downhill as the three main mountain bike segments. Now, there are downcountry, all-mountain, enduro, and probably other categories I ignore on purpose. When Canyon sent its Spectral 125 CF9 for a long-term test, I wasnt sure where it sat. The 125mm travel shock mated to a 140mm fork on a longish, slack-ish chassis...
Review: Nike’s Vomero 17 Running Shoes Make Our Feet Happy
