Adjustable vents on each vestibule can be closed with snow-proof panels. Accessible from inside or outside of the tent.
KAITUM
Full no-see-um mesh on inner tent doors are covered by zipper adjustable, fabric panels for all-season comfort.
Linked but separable inner and outer tent for simul- taneous pitching.
Tunnel design requires only four pegs for pitching, and the simple, single-opening, continuous sleeve and pole tensioner pole system is quick to pitch and remarkably stable.
Dual entrances ensure that one door can always be situated out of the wind and provide flexible entry/ exit options.

Guy lines on the vestibule vent hoods and looped guy lines affixed to twin attachments on each side of each pole increase stability in poor conditions.

Large flaps protect zippers from the rain.
Extended vestibule on the GT version allows for greater storage space and flexibility.
KAITUM GT VESTIBULE
Dual entrances on GT vestibule allow greater access.
J One standard and one extended vestibule in the Kaitum GT afford even more gear storage and comfort.
J An optional footprint covers the entire area of the outer tent, including the vestibules. It connects directly to the tent, and can be left attached dur- ing pitching.
J The outer and inner tents can be used separately. Pitching the inner tent alone requires 6 optional pole holders (sold separately; see page 80).
Both the Kaitum and the Kaitum GT have won prestigious Gear of the Year awards from Germany’s Outdoor magazine: the Kaitum in 2006 & and 2007, and the Kaitum GT in 2009.
In its first year of production, the Kaitum received the Editor’s Choice Award from Germany’s top outdoor magazine Outdoor.
Comfortable in any weather and very light and strong, the Kaitum is an outstanding all season “generalist.” Seen here in Lofoten, Norway, on a May backpacking trip. Photo: Péter Endes.
J Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9 mm poles make for a very lightweight yet supremely stable tent.
J All season construction: outer tent walls extend to the ground and mesh areas are backed with adjust- able fabric panels.
J Tunnel construction offers maximum space to weight ratio and is the ideal choice for mobile journeys.
J Both Kaitum and Kaitum GT have plenty of room for the stated number of occupants and their gear.
