I really like this stretcher (and most of the Helinox gear). It's lightweight and compact when packed. Looking at it in detail, I can see why it cost over $400. But it's too expensive to replace my current gear right now. My gear are still in excellent condition. When my gear starts falling apart, then maybe I'll invest on this.
@SnowysOutdoors4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, Helinox makes great gear, but it does come at a price. But if you can afford it, you'll have yourself some quality gear that will perform well and last for ages. ~ Ben

Hey friend, while I am usually a super-loyal Snowys customer, I do admit that the cost of this item was just a bit too inaccessible for me, too. However, if you're still looking (+ even see this reply), the brand Naturehike - who have a small name of their own - make something almost identical for a fraction of the price. Despite the stripped-back ticket, I can confirm that the quality does seem to be there, as mine is holding well (I'm not a backpacker, so can't comment on if it's quite _as_ light as the original; I'm just a person with a bad back, & a 130cm tall tent) while reviews around the internet are also pretty promising, + they offer them in a small range of colour options, too. Listed on Aussie Amazon for about $150, leg extensions included.

Was able to reduce that price significantly by ordering it through REI. They give a 20% discount each March and had a $20 coupon plus used my REI cash. Ended up paying just a touch over $300 for the Max Cot price of $479

I think it would depend on the actual material of the tent floor @tony m and what kind of waterhead rating it has.

I've got several Helinox products and think they're great but this is just too narrow. There is a Cot Max version that's 75cm wide and 210 long but that bumps the price to $600 and it's getting too bulky to even consider for a walk in camp so it's competing with others that are a third or less of the price.
