“Bigger than my old army cot”

“I bought the cot mainly for house visitors and car camping. It's easy to set up, fairly stable, and in some regards, I like it better than my 1950's army cot, primarily because it is longer. I'm 6'4" and can use a pillow on it without my feet hanging over. While it is heavy, it is still lighter than the USA original that had an oak frame. The poly material has a heavy PVC-smelling backing to it, air it out before use. Overall, I wish the fabric were still canvas-- it is far quieter brushing against nylon sleeping bags (yes, just wait until you sleep with a group of people with nylon bags and nylon cots-- zip zip zip at every turn all night!). I don't think it will be breathable like the old canvas cots, but neither will it absorb water if it gets wet. The army version was more taught (I sometimes used a pry bar to assemble it) yet I find this one snug enough. Some trade-offs but overall I like it.”
