Stuff We Like: Smart XXL Camping Cot

OK, OK, this cot is heavy, bulky and pricey. But this is “Stuff We Like,” and we like the RIO Gear Smart XXL Camping Cot from ShelterLogic ($100, shelterlogic.com).

It measures about 7 feet long and more than 3 feet wide. It’s comfortable, easy to set up and strong enough to hold 600 pounds. A long storage sleeve hangs off the side with compartments for your cellphone, eyeglasses and laptop. The cot even comes with a cupholder attachment.

The cot folds down to about 3 feet long and weighs 17 pounds. So it’ll serve better for a long outing, like summer camp, instead of a weekend campout.
