Hello, how would you compare Katium and the Keron? Can you really feel the difference in strenght and durability? Would you go with Kaitum on a winter Kungsleden? I am thorn between those 2 tents, as a backpacker I am leaning towards Katium though. Cheers!
@OutdoorPrep2 ай бұрын
Heloł Piotr, I have videos on both - you can see the functional differences in those videos. The strength difference you’ll notice in 9mm vs 10mm poles. Thicker fabric you will only notice if it would rip, otherwise no. Keron offers more space inside and one feature I miss on the Kaitum is mesh panels on vents. Those prevent a bit of snowdrift in light winds. Both can be closed off with breathable fabric, that, given enough wind will still let snow through (see my Greenland video). I want to bring a Kaitum 2 to Kungsleden to go “ultralight” and fast one time. I will upgrade the poles and preferably have double poles.

The belt I have to pull to the end to fit me (I wearing 29” of Fjallraven pants), the back length adjustment still reasonable ( I’m 175cm hight) Feels the belt is always over sized in Fjallraven backpacks, even my previous Keb52 feels the same 😢

Hey Rob. Im considering the kaitum tents, but there are quite a bit of bad reviews about the zippers wearing out on the tunnel tents after a couple of weeks. Have you found any problem with the Latium zippers? and are they the same as the Keron one ?
@OutdoorPrep3 ай бұрын
On Hilleberg tents? That’s very unlikely. They use large YKK zippers - the only “problem” is their weight, but that’s the penalty for durability. The tent will last you a lifetime - if cared for properly - which isn’t that hard actually - just keep it clean and store dry. I use the Keron tents in harsh winter conditions and sometimes the snow will freeze on them in which case I’ve pulled quite hard on them in order to break the ice. Never had an issue with a tent zipper.

I’m pretty active in the owners group on FB and have not seen any reports of zipper issues (and people like to complain about the smallest leaks) so surely they would be coming in :) If you’re in a dust place - of course keep the zipper clean. Any zipper would fail when dirty. Just how zippers work :)

Wouldn't say it worked wonders inside a thin synthetic sleeping bag. The red reactor was better than nothing obviously but at 450 grams that's the same weight as a Z-packs sleeping bag. Sea to Summit made some light stuff, especially their Ultra-Sil line seems fair but it should be needless by now to conclude; the weight to gain ratio is unproportionately on the heavy side for this mummy liner.

Nice video. My very favorite trick once I became a closed cellfoam pad user was to buy a full-length pad, then cut the final three squares off which becomes my sitting pad. Bonus, of course, that it folds perfectly right along with the rest of the pad when it is packed (almost as if they were made for each other, lol). And I also bothered to get a cheap grommet maker so I put in 2 grommets on the end of the sitting pad, and two grommets on the end of the truncated pad, and I can use a small string to connect the at night if I want the extra length again. Normally I'm happy with a pad that goes only down to my knees, but if there happens to be a very cold ground, I don't want to drain body heat with a cold contact point, so I take the small bother to connect them again. The final advantage is that buying the regular size pads is usually significantly cheaper than having to buy a separate sit pad. Cheers

I have no regrets so far, the tent sleeps cool with the mesh inner even in hot Florida summers. And considering it doesn't get that cold down here I think I should be able to use it as a winter tent with the stock inner. At the price I paid im super happy with my purchase.
