Lite Cot Ultra-Light, Portable Camping Cot, Compact, Collapsible, Backpacking, Foldable Camping Bed

I've been backpacking for a number of years, now. Over time I've upgraded pretty much every piece of equipment that I've owned, and as a result I've got spares of pretty much everything; sleeping bag, stove, pack, water filter and what have you. The only thing I've never upgraded is my helinox cot one, which I purchased over a year ago and am still happily using. However, with all the extra stuff I've got lying around, I decided to put together a spare setup and keep it around in case of emergencies, or if I've got a first-timer wanting to tag along on a trip with me and they don't have anything of their own to use. But, as I said, I've never upgraded from my helinox one, so I didn't have a spare cot to add to the secondary pack. So what's a guy to do in this situation? Well, having already bought the cot one, and the chair one, and the helinox table, I'm familiar with the sort of quality one should expect from this brand. Considering that every piece of helinox equipment I've owned has held up really well, my first thought was to buy helinox again. So I bought the cot lite. Upon unboxing, I did notice that it felt a little flimsier than my cot one, but the lighter weight is a pretty decent tradeoff. The lack of hinges to snap the legs into place was also kind of disappointing, but once again it's much lighter, so you know... pros and cons. Despite the lighter build, it still holds my weight admirably, and I'm bordering on 240 pounds. Basically, once you get past the unfortunate price of the cot, it's very much worth what you'll spend. Although I might suggest waiting until it goes on sale, too. So ultimately, the quality of the cot lite is worth paying a little extra for. I've compared the helinox cot one to thermarest luxurylite in other reviews and I think the comparison still stands with the cot lite; helinox is just a product of better engineering and design. The lite is more comfortable, easier and faster to set up, and due to a recent price hike on thermarest's part they cost the same. All of the materials feel durable and rugged, and the product as a whole should last a long time if properly cared for. Even outside of a backpacking context, I'd probably get a fair amount of use out of this thing. If there are guests at your house and you don't have a spare bed, use the cot. Keep it in your trunk in case you get stranded somewhere. It'll fit in a drawer, so it won't take up much space. All in all, I'm happy with this purchase. Yes, I like my cot one better, but this is a good backup to have.

I love camping and backpacking. However, I live in Arizona where the ground is extremely hard and I often have trouble sleeping comfortably on my thin, closed-cell sleeping pad. I've tried inflatable pads, and those were an improvement, but they were not still particularly comfortable and I usually still ended up with mediocre sleep. Hammock camping is out of the question for me because in the desert, it's difficult to find trees close enough together to hang from. I decided to try a cot. I researched and hesitantly decided on this unit due to weight and design, but I didn't feel great about buying it because of its high price, my desire to keep my gear as lightweight as possible, and my own uncertainty about wanting to lug a cot around in the wilderness. Now that I've tried it, I have absolutely no regrets about this purchase. If you can get by with three legs, this cot weighs about 2 lbs and is extremely easy to set up and take down. This is not a negligible weight, but it's not outrageous, either. For the comfortable sleep it provides, it is well worth it to me. And it is unbelievably comfortable. I am about 5'10" and weigh 165, and I can sleep on my back or my side without any issues, and the support is outstanding. It is like sleeping on a mattress. Plus, getting off the ground for sleep has had a few added benefits that hadn't occurred to me, like being able to sleep without a shelter system or with a simple bivy in good weather without worrying about creepy crawlies. When the weather turns sour, I can sleep under a tarp shelter without needing a ground sheet. If you're thinking about a cot, I would highly recommend this one. It's not too heavy, it's simple and fast to set up, and it is extremely well-constructed.

Quick and easy to put together. Expensive, but high quality. Stows small and easy to carry. Very comfortable too. I am 5' 11" 190 and it had the length and strength to support more. My wife had a sleeping self inflatable matt that rolls up small and light, popular among hikers. "Had". She now uses this. Simply an incredible cot. If you buy this you may as well move on to figuring out what kind of pillow and sleeping bag you want to bring because this part of the journey is solved.

Yes, It is the Helinox, Higher quality of material, 2lbs light weight, compared to other copy cat brands. I tried convince myself that it's expensive high quality product, but 23inch width was too narrow for me. I'm 5'7" 185lbs. My arms are pain in the morning. Returned.

The best made camping bed I have used. Super light weight.

Superteil! Und super leicht und top verarbeitet man muss nur wegen der Breite gucken ob das ausreicht

Item, packaging and delivery absolutely perfect

Its expensive but does what its designed to do.Lightweight and compact i use for motorcycle touring.I was having problems with my back after sleeping on an air mattress.It does require some strength to assemble but that's what makes it so good.It is a bit soon to give it a proper review but i am happy so far.

安価なコットを購入しましたが十数回程度の使用で布地が変形しグラ着き出しました。 そこで良いものを買うことにしようと思いましたが、ツーリングにも運びやすい小さくて軽いコットを探していました。 175cm 90kgの体型でライトコットで大丈夫かと思いましたが快適に使えています。 寝袋とコットはやはり少し良いものにした方が良いかな と感じました。
