Hilleberg Kaitum 2 Tent

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

UOG TOP PICK— Kaitum 2 is an excellent option for a spacious and practical four-season tent. This highly versatile tent has a generous amount of internal space, two entrances, and two good-sized vestibules. A top pick!

Hilleberg says

The Kaitum and Kaitum GT models are highly versatile all-season tents. Providing a superb balance of remarkably light weight, comfort, and high strength, they are an excellent choice for those who prefer the flexibility of a two entrance, two vestibule design, but don’t necessarily require the extra strength of our Black Label Keron models. For those wanting even more space, the Kaitum GT model’s extended vestibule offers that with very little weight pen­alty. The standard sized vestibules can be fully rolled away for tre­mendous venting, while the GT’s extended vestibule has an entrance on each side for more entry/exit and venting options. Its front section can also be rolled back to create a very protected “covered porch.”

Backpackers, paddle tourers and cyclists will appreciate the Kaitum’s roominess, light weight, and small packed size. Hunters, winter campers, ski tourers, and climbers will favour its all-season strength and impressive space to weight ratio, and taller users of all types will find the Kaitum models a roomy pleasure. The four-person Kaitum 4 and Kaitum 4 GT are both perfect for backpacking families, couples who camp with their dogs, or anyone looking for a roomy but remarkably lightweight 4-person tent.

Our Verdict

The Kaitum 2-Person Tent is a new shelter from Hilleberg that provides versatility and practical, liveable internal space. Hilleberg focuses its designs on quality, durable tents that shelter from challenging conditions. The details in the design, materials used and quality of construction result in a fantastic tent.

The Kaitum 2 falls into Hilleberg’s Red label category, which means it is a four-season tent built to withstand strong winds and snow dumps. As it’s been built from more robust materials, the Kaitum is on the heavier end of the scale, but this is a worthwhile trade-off when heading out into the mountains in the winter.

The design is similar to others in the range. Still, several excellent features, such as the dual entrances and vestibules, give extra storage space and somewhere to shelter and cook when the conditions are poor. The doors can be rolled and configured in different ways to maximise airflow or make the most of the views. The tent uses three poles to create a reasonably level roof line, so there is no loss of space as you usually find at the foot end of many tents.
