ALPS Mountaineering Ready Lite Cot
Best lightweight cot for backpackers prioritizing comfort and portability.
This is the rare sleeping platform that actually earns its place in a backpack. By prioritizing a featherweight aluminum frame and a clever, packable design, it trades a bit of height for incredible portability. The integrated sleeve for an air pad is a brilliant touch for those who refuse to compromise on sleep quality.
