This product is a tent that allows itself to be erected over almost any cot. This product has been much improved since my last review of the tent.
Rather than being permanently affixed to the cot as with other designs of this type, this tent is completely seperate from the cot allowing your cot to be used alone in an indoor setting.

Pros:
Goes up fast. Compact package. Cot can be used without cot/tent inside a larger tent
Cons:
This tent has been much improved over the previous version. The seams are all now factory sealed and the ventilation has been much improved to prevent condensation in cold weather.
Three new poles are included with the tent that were not included with the original version. The pole that goes across the top provides extra rigidity for rough weather and even allows the tent to be setup without fastening the ropes at each end of the cot to solid ground.
Windows on each end and one large window that goes the entire length of the tent provide excellent ventilation.
The fly can be propped open with the two poles provided for a little more dry space or it can securely be zipped shut.
This is a very versatile tent. It can be setup without any external support even on rock. No need to worry about water on the floor in this tent. In fact it could be setup over water.
I often use this tent along with a cot on overnight float boat trout fishing trips. It's light weight and quick setup and take down make it a pleasure and I have have some very good night's rest in this system.
The tent will fit over almost any cot as shown in this picture.
Two piece end rod which fits through each end of the cot fabric and interlocks with the cots frame provide slots for cots of many sizes.
