Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Great cot. The XXL is BIG!!! So be aware depending on where you're putting it, as well as how far you plan on carrying it to your destination. Out in the open - no issues. Inside a tent - this will take up significant space. In addition, as you can see in the photos, the end bars protrude a few inches on each side (making the end widths about 44.5" wide - so plan accordingly). This may affect aisle space, especially if putting two of these next to each other (as I did inside an REI Kingdom 8 tent - see photo). Putting the end bars on can take some effort - there is a red guide pin on one end that is supposed to make the effort easier. Overall it is very comfortable - I am not using any pad, just a sleeping bag and the cot. Two people on here is snug (good or bad depending on what you are aiming to accomplish). A few gripes (I hope Teton is listening): 1. The end bars do not lock in place. As this is a wide cot, moving it can be awkward, and lifting by the end bars pop them out of place. This is exacerbated when positioning the cot inside a tent and being careful of the tent floor (you will know what I mean when you try it). 2. The carrying bag is a simple tote bag. I would like to have seen a zippered/fully-enclosed heavier duty canvas bag than what it comes in. Something more weather resistant. 3. Although a separate product, the attachable organizer is only so-so. For lightweight items it is fine. Putting something heavier, like a "beverage", causes it to swing inward under the cot, whereby the angle will cause your beverage to spill if it doesn't have a sealed lid on it. I have a mind to add some weights to the bottom helping to anchor it so as to minimize this effect. Your mileage may vary.
