I've been using this cot/tent for over a year now. We always hang a tarp over our tents so I can't say if it's waterproof. Camping had become very painful for me - If I sleep wrong, my back goes haywire. I tried blow up mattresses and a variety of sleeping pads. I also looked at tent hammocks. I chose this because I wouldn't need trees and wouldn't have to rely on my knots.
It's very easy for me to set up and take down. It is a great alternative to sleeping on the ground. It is very comfortable. It folds up into the included carry case. It stored really nicely over the winter.
I will continue to use this cot/tent. I might add a row of velcro along the bottom to seal it up a little. I love being able to painlessly camp with my family again!
This cot came with everything and made my sleep in the field 100% better!

I serve in the U.S. military and became extremely frustrated with years of military cots, missing poles and co-ed sleeping areas. This cot came with everything and made my sleep in the field 100% better! The pop-up shell also provides a great space to change and/or sleep in privacy while in the company of others.
This is the best tent I've ever had. I am 5'6, 130lbs and fit comfortably. My small backpack fit beside my feet. Probably anyone taller than me would be cramped. I did carry my own pillow. I really like the attached sleeping bag idea so it doesn't slide, but it isn't very warm.
I purchased this for my husband who is going to be out in the field during his annual training with the national guard. He tried it out and loved it. This cot will make his month out in the desert a little less uncomfortable.
