![]() Check also this World Outdoor Products Military Style Camping Cot which is larger and lighter. They also have an option with a storage pocket attached to the bed, you will see it in the link. ![]() I have already mentioned in the beginning that they have also a much larger version of the same Rio Adventure Military Style Camp Cot, with 84 inches (213 cm) of length, you can see it here. The absence of end bars means a lot, and the same holds for the One Piece construction. To conclude this Rio Adventure One Piece Military Style Camp Cot review, what you have here is a really nicely designed cot with some unique features which make them very different and much more functional than other cots of this type. If you try a tent with a side door, you will get into the situation which you can see in this video, so please have a look: One great example of this type is the Kelty Horizon 2 tent. But the question is how to get it inside.Ī much better option is a 2-person tent with the front entrance, so you can unfold the cot outside and bring it in. With 14.5 inches (37 cm) it should fit most of the normal solo tents, they are typically around 1-meter peak height. But if you are interested in the smallest possible tent which can accept such a cot, then bear in mind its height. If you have a normal family tent, then you have no problem to put such a cot or a few of them inside. As I said above, the whole bed is one single piece, so just unfold, put it on its 6 legs and press the tension lock bar. All is done quickly and easily, no need for any tool. Sets up is done in seconds, and the same is when you want to fold it down. So it can be used at any camping place with a car access. The weight of 15.85 pounds (7.19 kg) is such that this is not to be carried long distances. The packed size is great, but with 37 inches (94 cm) you can only transport it in the car. It comes with its carry bag so when you store it at home it will not collect dust wherever you put it, in the closet, attic, or under a bed. This is a versatile cot, a great tool for disaster relief needs, for outdoor use, and for home use as a spare bed for sudden guests. Observe also the plastic caps on the feet for the floor protection. The Tension Lock bar which is there instead of end bars, see the bed deck. This is a unique One Piece design based on their patent-pending Tension Lock Technology, see the picture. So the full length of the bed is a useful length, and fixed legs create tension in the bed deck. Instead of end bars, they have added locking bars attached to the legs on both ends, far below the bed surface, which fix the legs in position. Now, these end bars effectively make the bed shorter because you have to fit between them to avoid pressure spots on your legs (or/and your head).īut this Rio Adventure cot has a clever design. These end bars give stability to the bed and create tension in the bed deck. But they also have two separate end bars that have to be attached separately, one by one. Well, military-style cots are normally designed with side bars, legs, and the bed fabric making one single piece so you just unfold it when you set it up. The full name of this cot “Rio Adventure One Piece Military Style Camp Cot” indicates a unique feature: this cot has no end bars. Note that it is available on the market also under the name Rio Gear Portable Smart Cot Military Style Folding Camping Cot, this is the same cot. ![]() The term collapsible implies that it packs to a relatively small size of only 37 x 8 x 5 inches (94 x 20 x 13 cm). This implies a collapsible structure with X-shaped legs, simplistic in design and easy to use, but in this case there is more to this, see below. The Rio Adventure Military Style Cot is what its name says, a cot from the group of military type cots.
