Senior hiker/camper reviews the Aboron XXL folding camping cot. I will discuss specification, pros, cons, and when I would or wouldn't recommend this product. All reviews are simply a subjective opinion based on my experience, and all potential buyers should consider what is best for their specific needs and make decisions based on that.

Big caught

Yes, it is...definitely not for backpacking.

Great video, awesome explanation. I've been looking at this on Amazon for a while and I have to say that your video is the best one out there. Thanks for sharing.
New Sub.

Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful, and I appreciate being able to contribute to our hiking/camping community.

Thanks, I was considering the smaller one, but I'm 6'4" and the same weight as you, so I think I'll get the same size. I sleep on my side, so the width should be ok. Great review, like you say, 5'2" and 110 lbs, doesn't tell me much about how the product fits men of our stature.

[@moseyandmeander]

Awesome! Glad to hear it was helpful. Yeah, the only potential negative with the bigger one is making sure it fits your tent right. One of my tent's sides slopes a bit more, so it doesn't fit as well as I like (easily rests against the head/toe sidewall, which is not a good thing in rainy conditions). Otherwise, happy sleeping!!

I’m accustomed to military style cot so I don’t mind without padding.

[@moseyandmeander]

I've done plenty of ground, car hood, air mattress, and picnic table camping...LOL....and still will when the situation calls for it, but I am starting to appreciate a touch of comfort when I am driving to the campsite.

[@prst99]

How is the feeling without the topper? The padding seems bulky.

[@moseyandmeander]

@prst99...I would compare it to a nice pool-side lounger. The padding on mine puffed up to 2-3" and was not stiff/firm. I liked the added cushion and the added insulation. Since the cushion is easy on/easy off, it makes it more versatile for use. My joints ache quite a bit, so I don't mind a little cushion.

How you pack the padding part?

[@moseyandmeander]

It originally came shrink wrapped around the folded legs inside the bag. I'm thinking it possible to wrap it around the legs (kind of like rolling up a sleeping bag) and maybe get it back in the bag, but I didn't feel like messing with it (felt like it was too much hassle). I just fold it in half and pack it with bedding in the back seat of the truck or sometimes in the bed of the truck (with tonneau cover). I also imagine you could simply roll it like a sleeping bag or put it in a stuff sack. Hopefully, this helps. Thanks for watching!
