Description

The Kaitum 2 is a four-season tent made by Hilleberg. It has an average rating of 5 stars (out of 5), based on 2 user reviews.

Manufacturer's Description:
A remarkable, two door/two vestibule tent that offers maximum usable space and remarkable strength in an incredibly lightweight package. The Kaitum is essentially the Ultralight version of our Keron, but with a bit more width and quite a bit less weight.

Available in both two- and three-person models, it is ideal for trips where light weight is a higher priority than total strength, but where true all-season, all-weather capability is still a requirement, and where extra comfort is important. The secret of the Kaitum is its combination of our Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9 mm poles – which keeps the weight to a minimum without sacrificing all-condition strength – and its two door/two vestibule design, which affords its tremendous degree of comfort and flexibility.

The Kaitum’s Tunnel Tent design and ultra light weight make it ideal for mobile adventures, where you move your camp every day, and it is equally well-suited for both long and short adventures. Outstanding for use in protected terrain any time, the Kaitum is also easily stout enough to handle forays in exposed and/or above tree-line terrain in all but the worst conditions.

Minimum weight: 5 lbs 7 oz
Packed weight: 6 lbs 4 oz

"I used this tent for my 3 month solo mountain bike tour of the great divide from Calgary, Canada to Columbus, New Mexico at the US Border. I slept in this tent nearly every night and used it primarily as a solo tent. Elevations used were from 3000 feet up to 10,800 feet, and temperatures ranging from the low 20's up to the 80's."

"This is a tent suitable for tall people or for two who wants huge amounts of room. The vestibules are very large that can cope with packs, boots, wet gear and cooking, plus ample room to move in. In warm weather they can be completely folded back to allow outstanding airflow."
