A good deal for those who used to sleep on the ground - this cot is suitable for that upgrade It is worth the price paid, I can tell you. During a two week camping trip we brought four of these cots along. Here are the good and bad things about them The pros are The weight is light. This is an easy to store product because it comes in a sack. The process of taking them down and putting them up goes pretty quickly once you get used to it. They are The cons are One of my biggest complaints is that they are very noisy! As I mentioned, we spent two weeks camping on these bad boys, and every night another member of my family turned over in their sleep, and I awoke from it at least once, if not more. As a result, the fabric began pilling after the first few days and once we put them back in the sack, the cheap closure device exploded (maybe it was a toggle?). They (wetsuits) broke, which wouldn't have been a big deal, except they were strapped onto the roof rack and I didn't want them to fall off while we were on the road! Finally, as I mentioned, setting them up is a little challenging, but thankfully my boyfriend watched a YouTube video and was able to figure it out. The instructions are easy after you do that, but I cannot imagine reading only the little paper picture instructions included in the box. Another issue is that these cots are ONLY 24" wide, so if your waist line is thicker than perhaps 36", you will probably want a wider cot. If I had to buy them again, I would probably buy one at a time first and try it at home first. I also would have chosen a two-person cot for my spouse and I -- throwing an arm across with the metal side in the way was awkward at first!.
The set up was easy and the construction was great. I was very pleased with this purchase!.
A very sturdy construction. I have told my friends and family about how great the shoes are and would purchase them again.
It is vital for a BSA leader to have a restful night's sleep before the Campout so that all can enjoy it.
