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.

Resistance Climbing - Existence is Resistance
I didn't watch Resistance Climbing when it first came out, which is perhaps surprising, as it married what have been two of the biggest influences in my life over the past six or seven years, Palestine and climbing. At the end of February 2019, I was roughly a year and a half into a PhD looking at literary representations of...
A Winter Jacket to Withstand It All: Arc’teryx Patera Parka Review
  Despite living through six brutal Colorado winters, I didn’t realize that my closet needed a solid winter parka until wearing this coat.

SRAM Red Road Groupset: Leaked, Spied, but Finally Here
  Today, SRAM officially released information about the new SRAM Red groupset. Road cycling enthusiasts have long awaited this announcement after weeks of media teases.
