This thing is genius.

Review by Chotzee on 3/8/12

I used the four pole set-up and took this backpacking. At just over two pounds, it seemed a small price to pay for the promise of good sleep on those first, sore nights. For me, compact-ness is nearly as important as weight, and the high tech cot is an easy stow.

It performed very well, and was quite comfortable. The temperature dropped into the teens, but with the addition of a space blanket the airflow underneath the cot was not a problem.

If you're a back-sleeper, this cot will absolutely serve you well. I tend to sleep on my sides, and it was still nice, though if you have a choice find a sleeping pad that has adequate width to cover the side poles. My Z-Lite was not quite enough.

I absolutely recommend it if you have the space and can "spend" the two pounds of packweight on it.

Sturdy. Comfortable. Lightweight. Packs small.

Problem solved

Review by smatnz on 2/29/12

I used to always hate the first few nights of a camp because I would toss and turn all night and wake up cold, sore, tired and correspondingly grumpy. Air beds and normal cots are too big to carry in a ruck sack or on the bike and the 2cm thick Thermarest with foam underlay that I currently use is barely tolerable. After a particularly bad night I decided enough was enough, so dug deep and bought the ultra light cot. What a fabulous piece of kit! I am 6'3" and 100kg but this little cot took me to slumberland like nothing else. I woke up with a smile and a happy body and you can't put a price on that!

Hi-Tec Cot

Review by Pathfinder on 12/2/11

Every time I set up my Hi-Tec cot my riding/camping buddy makes fun of all of the pieces.. Then later in the night while he tosses and turns I am snug as a bug . Great piece of equipment....makes camping oh so comfortable for my senior citizen bones...

High Tech Cot

Review by Tom on 9/18/11

This thing rocks! I sleep as well (or maybe better!) than I do in my bed at home. Pricey? Yes, a little bit, but the great sleep is worth it!

A little "fiddly" to put together the first time, but after that it's easy and intuitive.

very cool

Review by Deb on 7/28/11

doing the Hoka Hey 10K endurance ride in a few days. We are required to camp in all conditions. I tested the cot last night and it's awesome. Lite, packs small and it's comfy. It may be a bit on the narrow side for some but works for my 130lb build.

Great Cot!!

Review by Jeff Curl on 6/24/11

This cot is fantastic. I've spent hundreds of nights on the ground - and last week was by far the most comfortable because I was on my new cot! Set up and take down are EZ (really) - but do yourself a favor and watch the video. I bought three of these cots and got high praise from my wife and friend - they loved the cot - big points! I toss and turn a lot and the first night my sleeping mat scooted off the cot. The next night I wrapped two straps around my mat and cot and the rest of the week was heavenly. One night my mat partially deflated on me - which usually is quite a annoying, but with the cot I didn't even notice until morning when I was packing up! Packs up super small and at 2 or so pounds I'll be very tempted to take it backpacking. I even spent a night on the cot in a hotel when we had more folks than beds - I was grateful I didn't have to lay on the disgusting carpet! I won't leave home without this again!!

Two Trips to Alaska and one trip to Inuvik

Review by Mr Mac on 5/31/11

I love this cot, I have used well over 50 nights camping and holding up great. I have a slight tear after so many use that this cot owes me nothing and keep on going strong. Highly recommend and would buy again.

9 days 3600 miles no pain!!!

Review by Rock man on 1/15/10

I went on a trip spent 7 of the 9 nights on the cot with a 1/2 " pad and slept better than in the hotels. I had a bulging disc in my neck 6 months prior to trip and was very worried about getting a stiff neck but no pain very comfortable.

Great!

Review by Judge on 12/18/09

I am 68 yrs young. I absolutely love this cot. I am rather rotund and it is the most comfortable thing going. It it is a little cool, just add a 1/4" ensolite pad and the insulation is wonderful. I heartily reccommend it.

Just got back from the Mi...

Review by Glen Jacobsen on 6/2/09

Just got back from the Minnesota BMW club's Hiawatha rally at Money Creek Haven campground. always a great weekend. This cot is one of the things that helped make it great, as there was some rain on Fri night and a very heavy dew Sat night to Sun AM, and everybody on a Thermorest or other pad was wet. Up on my LuxuryLite Cot I was dry and snug. It is light, it is strong and it packs up tiny. The new black legs are a great improvement, rock solid. I use a Big Agnes bag & pad system, so totally agree with Dennis, this cot, together with a good pad and nice bag make for a wonderful night camping, even in a small, packable tent. Great product.
