Featherlight weight with outstanding packability, the Lite Cot is a design achievement – a true backpacking cot. Creativity, advanced materials and innovative constructions come together in a backcountry bed that weighs under 1.3kg, but provides a stable, supportive, comfortable sleeping platform that’s a significant upgrade from hard, uneven ground.
Surface tension comes from the light and strong DAC Aluminum press fit legs. Part of the Lite Cot’s easy set-up, they keep up to 120 kg 12.7 cm off the ground while maintaining comfort and support that won’t sag during the night. Packing into a tight, streamlined 12.7 cm x 53.3 cm cylinder, the disassembled cot slides easily into your pack for transport, and its durable and UV resistant materials and construction make for years of more comfortable backpacking and camping.
Please note:
Lite Cot features snap-fit legs that are different to Cot One's lever system
The bed is rated to 120 kg, however campers around 75 kg and under will be the most comfortable
Adult strength is required for assembly and disassembly.
Assembly:
Assemble the two long poles and feed these through the sides of the fabric
Assemble the legs
With one long edge of the Cot on the ground and the other above it (so the cot is vertical), snap one end of the leg into the lower side pole. Then using your body weight, flex the leg until it snaps into the top side pole. Repeat until all legs are fitted
Disassembly is the same procedure in reverse. Stand the cot on its side and use body weight to remove the legs from the top side pole.
Features:
Comfortable and supportive: Frame system provides supportive tension and structure
Lightweight and strong: the lightest Helinox cot weighs under 1.3 kg, supports 120 kg
Compact and packable: Easily fits into an included 12.7 cm x 53.3 cm carry sack
Simple set-up: intuitive design features a press-fit frame that locks easily into place
Advanced engineering: proprietary DAC TH72M Aluminum alloy frame is light, durable and strong
Performance materials: Durable woven sleep surface is strong, light, and breathable
Durable design: Built for serious use, the cot is backed by a five year warranty

I’ve bought for our trips overseas next year I haven’t personally used it aa the partner is currently using it for herexercise walks and she says it sits well and carries everything needed such as water bottle
First time user of a shoulder bag.
I can’t believe how much room this bag has.
Since recently retiring I don’t always have pockets and find the bag can carry everything I need in one place.
Thanks Gary! Sounds like you picked the perfect bag for your new chapter – plenty of room, smart design, and easy to carry. Great to hear it’s working so well for you! Cheers, Travel Universe
