Kaitum 3 Footprint

Expensive, but useful, addition to your valued Hilleberg tent. Provides great level of floor protection against wear and mechanical damage, introduces floor in vestibules, extends the possible pitching options. The footprint stays connected to the tent during transportation and storage, which is simply great. Drying the footprint after night Purchasing the footprint for my Hilleberg Kaitum 3 tent was a difficult decision for me. The floor of this tent is already strong, and the footprint is quite… Full review

Mesh Tent 1

While marketed as a Mesh Inner Tent, this should instead be thought of as a mesh bivy. Like every Hilleberg product I’ve seen or tested, this is a very well-made piece of gear. It’s best served for those that already have the minimalist Hilleberg Tarp 5 and want to add bug protection.                                                  [click to enlarge picture] Specs: Weight: 410g/15oz                                         [click to enlarge picture]… Full review

Guy Line Runners

Probably the best available guyline tensioners on market. They fit a variety of guylines (not only those supplied by Hilleberg), very easy to tighten and release with single hand, never slip off the line. Originally available under Clamcleat Line-Lok brand. These guyline adjusters came with both of my Hilleberg Kaitum 3 tents (in 3-mm size), also I received a handful with my Fjallraven Abisko Lite 3 tent (in 2-mm size). Finally I purchased two more scores in 2-mm size from original manufacturer… Full review

Kaitum 4

The Hilleberg Kaitum 4 is a two-door, two-vestibule, four-person, four-season tent that comes in at a more than respectable 8 lbs 10 oz (that’s a lot of numbers) designed to maximize roominess while minimizing weight. The best part is that is manages to do both, without sacrificing weather proofing or durability. I’ve been unable to find any flaws with the Kaitum and have no doubt this tent will last through years of the hardest abuse. SETUP Even when setting up the tent alone it can be done… Full review

Akto

This is the best and most reliable one-person backpacking tent on the market today. This is the best and most reliable one-person backpacking tent on the market. I have now used it over several years for extended hiking and fishing trips in a very remote part of the Scottish Highlands where I have at times experienced some of the most atrocious weather imaginable. This tent has withstood everything that mother nature has thrown at it and has never leaked a drop. With the optional footprint groundsheet… Full review
