[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just wrapped up 20 days on the Grand Canyon using this cot. It was a summer trip and I was worried about being too hot sleeping on a regular sleeping pad, and this cot was perfect. I've also used it a few times in cooler weather, and enjoyed putting an inflatable mattress or Paco pad on top for some insulation. I did not purchase the leg extensions, and was initially worried about breaking the cot, as it is very light weight. After almost a month of constant use, it is showing no signs of wear. I'm really impressed. I'd read some complaints about the tension bars being difficult to click together to create tension, but this has not been my experience. For sleeping in hot and dry climates, it was great to dip the whole cot in the river, let it drip onto the ground, and then enjoy the evaporative cooling for hours. In sand the short legs sink down and sometimes I ended up contacting the ground, but I could use an empty soda can or a rock as a snowshoe to avoid sinking. Definitely not the cheapest sleeping solution, but I'm quite pleased with the product and the durability.
