Night time Cat Tenting Cot Tent – Waterproof 1-Individual Off-Floor Combo Cot Mattress for Adults Moveable Simple Set-up Tent

It was perfect for the colder than expected, weather.
I really liked the speed of setup, and the protection from the weather. I was at Laguna Seca for the Superbike races and it got colder and wetter than expected. Next time I will try the riser legs. I added my 3/4 Therm-o-rest pad, my Snug-pak blankets, and Coop Camping pillow for my home at the races.Packing it up was easy too, although, I did a better job of it at home when I was getting familiar with it, than I did at the races when it was time to leave. Patience, OCD, 5hr drive ahead, something got in the way. It has plenty of room in the bags to miss the perfect repack by quite a bit.All in all, love it. Perfect for single camping when you don’t need the 6 person tent for one guy.

Very comfortable but a lot of parts
This takes me quite a while to put together which is my only complaint. There are a lot of small parts to put together.But once it is together it is strong and solid. It holds up well all night. And it is quite comfortable. It holds up surprisingly well even with my shifting and tossing and turning all night as I do.I love the idea of a bed and tent in one. There is just one thing to assemble and you are done.With an air mattress it is perfect for one person camping.

A bit heavy for backpacking, but very versatile
For starters, I have a cot I take backpacking. I recently used it for a week while camping up in Yellowstone. I loved it. But it had one drawback. No privacy.If I wanted any coverage, I had to rig a tarp. This was fine when I had a good selection of trees. Not so much when they were too far apart. I had been considering one of this company’s “instant” one person popup tents that are intended for cots, but those don’t repel rain. They’re great for clear skies, but offer no bad weather protection.Then I spotted this.It has two big bonuses that I was hoping I would find. First, it’s a full-fledged, double wall tent. You can do the inner tent for clear weather trips, but you also have a fully seam taped and waterproof fly to put over it for keeping out the rain. No more need to find just the right spot to pitch a tarp.The second thing is kinda huge for me… This thing has 4 support bars. I’m a big guy (285lbs). I need something that will hold a lot of weight. Up until now, the only elevated cots I could find in this style only had 3 support bars. One at each end, and one in the middle. They were not rated for a person my size. Or I could find those “collapsible” types with the aluminum square tubing. Not very packable…This one changed that. Finally there is an option that has a higher weight range, can be elevated higher, and is relatively packable.My current cot has 5 support bars, and it’s great, but it can only be set ~4-5″ off the ground. I wanted something I could sit on, not fall into. Since this new cot from Night Cat has the extended legs that can be added, I now have that! It can still be set up for the lower position, but you can add the extra legs and get much more height.Once the cot is assembled, which is very easy to do with the way they designed the leveraging arms, putting on the tent was intuitive. I didn’t even need the instructions. Just line up the door on whichever side you want (it works both ways) and secure the end loops around each corner of the cot. This sets the foundation for the rest of the tent. Then put the single aluminum (much better than fiberglass) pole together and run each end through the grommets at each corner. Clip the inner tent to the pole, and secure the crossbar through the red tabs at the peak. You’re done with the inner tent. If you need the fly, drape it over, paying attention to the side with the door zipper, and secure each corner using the side-buckle clips that are attached to the inner tent. Open vents and guy out the walls as you prefer.There is a single amply sized pocket in one end of the tent. I assume this is the “head” end, as most folks will put their phone next to them at night. That would be on the left end of the tent if standing outside facing the tent’s door. It’s also the end where the zippers will end up, so it makes sense.The only thing that I’d be cautious about is where the pole’s crossbar touches the rainfly. There doesn’t seem to be a way to prevent wear on the contact point. With enough use, this could create a weak spot and eventually a leak/tear. Capping the tips of the pole with something would help to spread the contact and prevent this.The downside to all of this nice gear is that it does come at the expense of weight and size. It’s arguably very compact for what it is, but it will take up considerable room in your pack if you take both parts.But that will be up to preference. You don’t have to take the tent, as the cot doesn’t require it for use. But it may be a bit tricky figuring out how to secure the tent without the cot. There aren’t the normal set of stake-out points on this tent as there would be with ones that are intended for ground use. There are some, mind you. So you could make it work in a pinch. But it’s really intended to pair with the/a cot to secure to.Honestly, I can’t wait to try it.

Easy set up
Set up first time in about 20 minutes, next time should be faster, was easy to set up. Tent connects to cot for stability. The size is great for one, comfortable cot would be even better with a sleeping pad/mat. Separate rain fly that buckles to the tent for security. Small and easy to pack. Looks nice, good quality, blends well with nature.

i love the convenience to accommodate my husband’s comfort when he has to stay outdoors for his work. this is perfect for him.

Although the cot isnt the most comfortable, I personally threw on a layer of foam as im a side and stomach sleeper so it works out awesome.Ive used this thing for 10 sleeps now and really do enjoy it.For starters, I like how compact this whole thing it.The tent comes in 1 bag, the cot in another, helps to keep the parts from rubbing/scratching into each other to orevent any punctures.The tenting material itself, the cover, is the nicest ive felt, its not too thick but the material is wicked strong. It held up in some GNARLY wind storms and i even had some hail on my last venture.it zips up nice and tight, no water leaks in. The tent is pretty tight so it doesnt flap around a whole lot unless you’re in some serious wind, and in that case I drop the cot to the lowest level so im only inches from the floor. I also found its slightly warmer down there, so long as you arent on the actual ground.It setup up in 5 minutes tops, I LOVE how easy it is to setup with 1 person.It has some excellent ventilation with the option of adjusting the rain fly on top to let in more air.Its nice and cozy on the inside and ive had some phenomenal sleeps thus far.
