Comments about Byer Allagash Plus Cot:

I've been using the previous version of the Byer Allagash cot for several years and it's a great cot. I've never had any problems with my old one, but kudos to Byer for listening to consumers and reinforcing the material and stitching on the new one. I tried this new model in the store and I would feel confident replacing my old one with it, when (or if) I ever need to.

For me, these are a good blend of lightweight, compact, sturdy, comfortable, and cheap. Obviously not designed for backpacking, but easy to strap to my pack for travel and cram into vehicles, boats or light aircraft with limited cargo space. It holds 200 lbs with minimal sagging, and is quite comfortable. In hard-standing tents or rustic buildings, I use it to keep up off the dirty floors and for insulating off the freezing ground/floor with the addition of a foam pad on top. It's also good for air circulation underneath in warmer conditions. On softer ground, you might want to put something down to stop the legs sinking in.

I find it a breeze to set up and can usually unfold it, attach the legs, and flip it over ready to use in about a minute or so. Note each steel leg needs to be tensioned to fit into a hole, so this cot is probably not the best choice for kids or others who have limited muscle/grip strength. Obviously this cot is low to the ground and less practical for some people laying down and getting up, or sitting with feet on the floor, or storing items underneath. But for compact, lightweight and quick, it's a great choice.

Comments about Byer Allagash Plus Cot:

Got this as a lightweight, easy to pack alternative for weekend scout camping. I like how easy it is to set up (takes a little muscle, but not too much), and doesn't take up as much space as an air matres. The problem I have with it is that the clearance is only about 6 inches and the thin leg bars tend to sink into the ground. Within a few minutes your hips are touching the ground. I weigh about 185 lb so I'm not above the weight limit.

I plan on giving this to my 11 year old and getting a standard height cot.

I'd recommend it for lighter folks/kids but probably not for adults unless you absolutely need something extremely light.

Comments about Byer Allagash Plus Cot:

Spent 10 minutes trying to set it up and gave up, put it back in the box to return. Looks good though. Just not worth the hassle when there are other EASY options.
