Looks like a pretty solid product. 9lbs though is a hell of a lot to carry for a backpacking trip though. It looks like it'd be best for overland trips or if you had some kind of hunting cabin. Something tucked away in the woods with just four walls and a roof.

@@intractablemaskvpmGy that’s close to the weight of the military surplus French all steel folding cot I have. Mine is closer to 38+ pounds due to the fact that it came with a bug net that has a zippered door and a floor with shock corded poles. The polls are actually the same size length and diameter as the polls on my US Marine surplus one man LiteFighter tent. Seems like old military surplus is super heavy. Usually bombproof, but it sure is a work out. No need for a gym when you have military weight items.

Cots have come a long way since the WWII Army cots I grew up camping with as a child ! Those cots even served double duty as extra beds when we had neighborhood kids sleep over!

Great product……..and only took 3 hours to setup 👍

I have a similar cot made by woods. It has 3 supports and only available in the lower position with no extra legs. It's around 4lbs. I use it alot for canoe camping or hot tent camping. I like how comfortable it is for me and I usually get a good night sleep on it. Thanks for the video 👍🏻

1. To assemble your bed, first put the side you will be sleeping on face down in the mud. 2. Should you break that tensioning mechanism at the start of your trip, sleep on the ground and contact Customer Services on your return.

​@@stillnocouchI have the same design on my cot (Helinox) and have had over 100 setups with no problems. Excellent quality, very sturdy. I'm planning on buying another cot and I have been looking at less expensive brands. This one and Naturehike have my attention.

Love your reviews, upon watching this video on the carrying bag the extra strap is to hang the carrying bag at the head or foot of the cot for extra storage of gear. This cot is pretty cool and would work great even in storm shelters/ bunkers, you'd still have your space but have them handy in a overnight emergency.

I would have to say I would worry about the plastic tensioning clip to be not so reliable after a few dozen set ups.

Awesome work Luke, we'll be on the lookout for the full tested review! 😎

Excellent video. I'm looking forward to the full review, which will serve to let me know what to look for in comparison to competitors. As a result of severe arthritis, I cannot sleep on a low cot or the ground. Getting up takes a great deal of effort.

I love mine, i have two i lend out to buddies one in each color. Really stable, light, love the molle loops and storage, easy to adjust the height

Cudos on an exceptionally thorough review of this cot. I just purchased a Springbar Compact canvas tent (6'x8'x52") for car camping and I've been searching high and low for just the right cot for my tent. I want a height that's tall enough that it's easy to get up off of, yet low enough to give me at least 1" of head room in a sitting position (from seat to top of my head is 35"). The other factor is ease of assembly. Although this cot has a lot of parts to assemble, it looks doable. I'm especially glad that you took time to show how the lever bars work. I might have a bit of struggle with that step, but I think I can do it (I'm a 71 year old single woman). And lastly, thanks for pointing out the less expensive competitor models, though I suspect the lighter fabric might be susceptible to tearing away from the seams if that's what makes their cots lighter.

I just started looking into these for the winter desert camp season👍

Look forward to a full review!

You've given me a lot to think about. Great info.

Just bought my third cot from this company. This is the exact one I bought. Your review is what was deciding factor.

Very good review, thanks Luke

Very helpful video. Thank you very very much. You’ve helped me narrow the field.

Thank you for the info on this cot

thank you fo the detailed review!

I really like this cot, especially being able to have legs or not. I like having the height with the legs on, since you can store items underneath and save space. The issue for me would be if I have the strength to tension the frame sections.

Hi from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures and your family

seems very decent, will be great for winter camping in hot tent. looking forward to the review

G'day Luke, lotta faffing about to deploy and even with the pads, I can see those leg holes filling with dirt if not on a ground sheet or tent floor. I do like the webbing on the side rails, very nice touch. Ultimately, not sure how it fits in he scheme of things i.e. surely one wouldn't pack carry this @ nearly 4 kilograms, and for car camping, pack down size, weight doesn't matter........I use a bigger, beefier camping store cot that deploys in under a minute. No plastic clips in sight, all 1 1/2 in. - ish box tube construction and comes out at seat height, which incidentally provides storage space underneath. I paid around 80 AUD on sale a few years back, though in fairness, similar are 110 - 170 AUD now. Cheers Duke.

I'm in the market for a camping cot. Your channel is one of the first places I go for reviews. I just watched your Go-Kot video. What a great video. Watching you put together this cot is painful after seeing how easy the Go-Kot is assembled.

I bought one from Walmart for 41 bucks and it generally has the exact same cot design only without the locking leg lever. Just used it this weekend and was so much better than the ground. Mine did not have the extended legs though.

Amazing great set up

Hey, Luke: THANKS for the shout-out! Up to a few years ago, I used an Army-style version of this cot that featured scissor legs and two spreader bars. It was always a hassle to get the last spreader into the last hole in the last rail end. This OneTigris unit at least has some leverage working for it in the stretch. I LIKE the high/low leg option. My KZread channel buddy, Boonedockery, took the Army version cot out and mounted a Lightfighter 1 tent on top for an overnighter. So far, that is proving to be a comfortable combination. I bet a suitable OneTigris tent would do fine on this new cot!

I have the Naturehike version (lighter, as it's aping the Helinox one). It's a bastard to put together, but sans leg extenders it goes fantastically to still keep me off the ground in my little storm tent, & with them attached, it makes a fantastic spare to my own stretcher-bed for if I've taken a friend camping with me, in my 6-man.

I like this and for any other use it is what I would go for. But I want a backpacking cot. So far the Helinox lite cot is the front runner.

..good one, keep safe..

Another great and honest video. I would like to know two important things and one just out of curiosity type thing. If you leave the legs behind, what does the rig weight? If you weight less than the maximum, can you use the cot with just 8 legs instead of 16, to save weight, but still get the advantages of extra height? How would this cot hold up, in your opinion, if you don't want to do an actual test, as an emergency stretcher or litter? The stresses would be distributed differently in that role.

This looks like a great product! I really like the design and the versatility it offers. You make clear and understandable instructional videos, my friend. I’d buy one!

go back in time to Dessert Storm,I was working for a company that sold a truck load of that cot style to the military for around 30,00 each.Yes it was a canvas and that was better than 20 years ago. material and it was a total or 9 lbs. it was a sretecher cot

I’ve been looking for a cot with a low profile that will fit in my F150 pickup. This looks like it might work. Hopefully it is not too long. I’m 5’9”. I believe the bet of my truck is 6’, but I’m going to double check. The cot looks quite sturdy and with a bad back this is exactly what I need. Thank you as always Luke. I can always depend on your reviews. I have already purchased the Haven Ridge lights which I absolutely love and the latest purchase is the Helikon chest pack which I wasn’t sure about since I am female but it’s great. So again thank you so much for your great videos and reviews-

That would be one of my applications as well. How did you make out? Do you prefer legs on or off? Short bed is ~67" long which is 5' 7" with tailgate closed.

I like to use the cot "without" the leg extensions, which helps me to get out of the cot and reload my titanium stove easier. One problem I'm encountering is that the cot is very tippy when sitting on the edge. I wish they would add supports along the long edges to prevent overturning. I wonder if others have the same experience with an🙃 overturning issue. And yes, it's very fiddly to assemble but I like it because of it's compact storage size and it's very light weight. 🙃

I like that you can put the legs on or leave it low. I wonder if the weight versus others isn’t the material thickness of the frame? A 2lb difference, that would make sense!

The 26 inch width is the deal breaker for me. Unless I'm sleeping with my arms folder on top of me like a coffin, they droop off the sides making my arms fall asleep. The feet also stress the floor of nylon tents.

Something to consider, would be... How well the fabric holds up after the abuse of camping... ( Rain, Dust Dirt, abrasive movement's in and around a campsite that might cause the fabric to deteriorate over time ) and since they use one of the strongest blends of aluminum ( 70-75 ) how do the plastic housing hold up. This might be the determining factor when comparing items that appear similar... and as some have stated, does it work better when trying to save weight, just to leave the additional poles behind and use it in the short configuration...?

Get the REI Kingdom 3 cot...it doubles as a reclining chair which this cot can't do, and is ultimately comfortable sleeping on it. Sure it weighs twice as much as this cot but for car camping you can't beat it.

I did a short review on the Hardgear cot which is half the price of this cot. I will be doing an evaluation of it in June.

I would have killed for something like that when I was in the Army! I always got stuck with the wood cots that were a pain to set up when you were tired. I slept alot of nights with one end loose because I was too tired to wrestle that end bar into place!!

I like it, well-made and stable. Did you say it was waterproof or not? Thanks for the video Luke.

Like the cot but not the price got back from linville falls NC and would love to have a cot over a sleeping pad. Would be a great option for car camping but at that price it's hard for me to justify the cost. Great review thanks for the information outstanding job.

It's a good idea of a camping coat

Reminds me of the helinox cot. Essentially the same set up.

Luke Awesome as usual

Another great review Luke thank you, I do like many of the OneTigris items, unfortunately for me I'm somewhat taller and bigger than most at 6'4 and at 320 lbs, i find most manufacturers fail to offer an XL range within their product range to cater for the Taller / wider or heavier persons. It is a shame and wish they would offer 2 size options, one for people under 6ft and then another for people upto say 7ft. then we as consumers have OPTIONS. I have found similar issues when selecting tents that have enough length to cater for taller people. Thanks Luke... Always appreciated.

Looks pretty cool, kinda pricey but it seems well made.

Cots are great for car camping. Weight not a factor normally. However it would be of interest to know weight without height extension poles. Something else to consider is the height without the poles and the length. I’m thinking this pairs and compliments the One Tigris Smokey Hut. Other cots on the market have to be pulled closer to the center pole of the Smokey Hut Tipi. Which reduces the footprint of that tent. PS The weight of 330 lbs is a nice addition for us bigger guys. Not many cots or chairs that accommodate the larger man. Thanks and God’s blessings Luke.

I see one in my future , one good option would be swivel flat feet for legs , that can be purchased separately

Also seen the same design with weight less except for 2 things : i didn't see 4 legs but 3 elsewhere and no molle attachment

Looks pretty well built and durable. The locking mechanism is pretty smart, that's one thing I've always found to be a bit of a hassle with my Decathlon cot with solid frame bows. It works, but it means you have to put some serious tension on it to get the free end in. What is the weight of it when you're not using the legs?

You should check out the teton xxl cot with the pad kind of heavy but I love mine

I have a similar designed cot but it doesn't have the additional legs to extend the height but uses a couple more cross braces. Not a problem as I prefer the low height. Mine also weighs much less - about 3.5 lbs and takes much less volume. Not sure about the price but I probably paid about $140 CDN. I've got a full size Cabelas cot if I wanted to car camp that is longer and wider (and heavier, bulkier to boot).

I have a similar cot for motorcycle camping. I mean, also a bit more off the ground than your average cot, and also with a similar tightening technology. Also, it can carry up to 250 kgs, which I much prefer. And its about 10 cm wider, with straps to hold a camping mat in place. It has not those loops at the sides though... Weight of this cot is 4 kgs, which is not bad IMO. I took a look at a version of this and decided to go for that other, slightly more expensive version. By adding a carp tent to it, I turned it into a one person tent. Really tight in there though...no space for shenanigans.

Perhaps the fancy cot would be ideal for the occasional canoeing excursion as one can pack nearly everything with zero added effort paddling (downstream).

One suggestion when you gave the dimensions early in the video 6.2 feet by 2.2 feet was a bit confusing and is quite a bit different from 6‘2“ by 2‘2“. I thought you were saying that it was 6 feet and approximately 2.4 inches not a huge difference but makes more sense if you say 6‘2“ rather than 6.2 feet thanks for somewhat clarifying it further along in the video when you said it wouldn’t really be suitable for people over 6 feet tall. I know it’s a small difference but it’s good to know the separation feet and inches when giving dimensions. Some people might even want it in centimeters or meters for that matter. I know you convert US pounds to kilograms for those that prefer that weight measurement. Have a great day enjoyed the video as always.🎃

Seems this would be decent for car camping, but I would prefer an ultralight cot or stretcher-type version for backpacking. Nine pounds is a lot to add for a man-portable sleep system (on top of the other things you would have).

The low version would be good for me in my North Face Stormbreak 2.

This cot is a clone of the Helinox Cot One. I have the Cot One with the leg kit. The LiteFighter One tent that I was issued will deploy on top of it but not as good as the GI cots. I only use the Cot One when I know the unit will not be bringing cots out to the field with us.

Im not sure how i feel about the frame being detatchable in that manner. Are those half moon connectors deep enough to manage the inevitable stretch from the canvas over time? Not that im asking you specificly, but thats my train of thought with this cot. The comparison would be my military cot, yeah its large and bulky, but as the canvas stretches with age and use, i dont have to worry about sitting or laying on it and ending up on the ground because it has stretched past the frame retention point.

A bit pricey , but , I do like the fact that the cross braces are lower than a lot of others which makes it far more comfortable ( no digging in the back ) .

Looks pretty slick! Wonder what it would weigh without the taller legs. It would still be a raised bed...

I have been using a Coleman Cot- but always looking for other options

I think at one end it should have a cross bar that rotates up with two small bars holding a strip of sake fabric. Thats acts as a small head board to stop your pillow sliding off the end.

Yup, took strength to assemble and your correct its pricey for same quality. We are paying for the logo for sure. I would not lug this thing around on the trails, that's for sure.
