Keron 3
Hilleberg
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.

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...
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...
Satellite Texting Is Coming to the iPhone. Do I Still Need My inReach?
  The critics were correct—of course we should have had a Garmin inReach.   Early last October, after nearly 10,000 miles of hiking together without major incident, my wife, Tina, and I became separated on the Continental Divide Trail. A snowstorm had swept through the San Juan range of southern Colorado, and we’d unknowingly taken different routes on that choose-your-own-adventure trek. For...

Lightning-Fast Lens Swap: Anon M5 Ski Goggles Review
  My touring partners and I crouched at the summit of our planned ski line, engulfed in a cloud of whipping winds and spindrift. It felt like chaos. I carefully donned insulating layers, fighting the wind’s attempt to tear them out of my hands. The anxiety was building. My Anon M5 ski goggles were the last piece.   I hastily swapped the...

Are SunChips Actually Healthy? A Recovering Junk-Food Enthusiast Investigates.
  In my twenties, chips, gummy bears, and the cheesiest burritos I could make once fueled all of my runs, climbs, and camping trips. Now well into my mid-thirties and trying to set a better example for my growing toddler, I’ve spent the last two years rewriting my usual travel menu. I’ve largely replaced Skittles with real fruit and beer with...
