  • I have been using the Helinox Cot One Convertible Long Lightweight camp cot now for well over a year. At only 2.7KG it is well suited for any Travel where size and weight are at a premium, it could via 4WD, Motorbike or even on foot. It's perfect for light campers - the very light yet strong Cot One Convertible from Helinox gets you off the cold ground and away from any insects, mud or other unpleasantries.
    A24/7 is not a Sponsor of this video however, they sell a lot of the gear I use and have excellent customer service. They offered my subscribers a $20 Discount Code for any order over $100, and if you decide to purchase, you will also help the Cannel with a small commission. Just use CODE: ALLOFFROAD20 during check out.

    I own one of these and an Oztent stretcher and it is by far the most comfortable of the two. And I think not significantly more difficult to set up either.
    Comfort when sleeping is really important and hard to put a price on. Also this will last a very long time too.
    Space and weight are really important and Helinox are hard to beat.

    I have just been using my Cot One, for the past 2 weeks, I bought a second hand insulated mat they make, and found it more comfortable than the standard mat!
    Can highly recommend the company as I have also bought their chair one as well, this is as excellent as all their products, remember you get what you pay for!
    Bottom line aint never going to be quality, comfortable or have a long service life!!

    I have 2 of their zero chairs that live permanently in my drawers
    The space saved is invaluable, it allows me to take more glamping items
    No doubt these stretchers are the same mine weighs 10kg!!

    After doing some research I found a similar product by TKO camping gear
    At $89 I thought I would buy it from Amazon and check it out
    I love helinox gear but $500 x 2 (my wife needs one) I could get something similar for a fraction of the cost
    I was very impressed when it arrived today, it pulls super tight and comes with an inflatable pillow
    It weighs 2 kg which is lighter than the Helinox cot 2.315kg and made of quality materials
    It really is a no brainer the TKO wins this contest

    • @AlloffroadAu
      @AlloffroadAu  Год назад +1

      Hm, looks interesting I'm sure it wins the weight and price contest, but quality wise I have yet to see a cheaper product (and I tested a few chairs) that matches Helinox quality. It does come at a price though.

    Is there a reason why you didn't buy the MAX version? It is just as long but 2" wider? Noticed the MAX has 4 cross support bars while the LONG version only has 3 bars. Curious if the MAX creates more tension than the LONG version.

      What you’re paying for is the significant R&D that goes into these products.
      Most stretchers are copies made in China
      Securing Patents is also a hidden cost
      When someone say “it’s expensive “ what they are really saying they are not making enough $ yet lol
