REI · Mid · About 12 lb

As an Amazon Associate, Trailkit Outdoor earns from qualifying purchases. Full disclosure

Use a pad on the cot. A cot alone is cold because air moves under you. This is a comfort tool for adult car campers, not for kids' first backpacking nights. Check the tent width before you buy two.

Who should buy it. Car campers who hate ground sleeping.

Best for. Sleeping off the ground at a campground

Standout limitation. Absurd to carry
