Mostly Great, a low end answer to not crawling out of a tent.

We have two of these and like them very much. We do not use the mattress that comes with it, an$ that means insects can enter through many gaps. I will try some measures to reduce that problem with some mosquito netting. We would also like some sort of storage inside. I found my Kindle out on the ground one morning. The flap for the window closure made a safe place for my eyeglasses. Set up is quick but the second bar on the cot requires sitting on the ground and pushing it into place with a foot. A similar step is needed to take it apart. Now that we are sure we like the concept I wish we had spent more money for the features we want.
Bought this to try it out and see what it was. Amazing. For the price, you can't beat it. Would suggest a good rain fly for it along with some extra waterproofing. But those are cheap compared to everything you get in this set up. Perfect for hot weather.
I bought this to take to the field for my two month FTX. We started having to take down sleeping areas in the am and put them back up in the pm. The bag zipper broke on week 2 and the stretchy tie downs for the tent to the cot, one ripped right off.It's simple and fast to set up although the directions aren't very clear. I waterproofed mine with spray. The tent material is very light. So much in fact it's see through at night with a light.Having a cot that actually has pieces and sets up is nice but overall I'd probably not buy another.
