+Single Cot
+
+The OEX Ultralite folding cot is among the lightest options on the market. It weighs just 2.68kg and is priced almost half the price of the Helinox version I tried. It's also much easier to set up - the two main poles snap together, as do tent poles of unusually high quality with shock cords to keep them in position. They then are able to slide into sleeves on the legs of their linked legs. You just have to put your feet in them to make the sleep surface.
+
+The only negative is that it's a little tricky to dismantle it - you have to be able to remove the legs and it takes some effort to take apart the frame. It's a minor issue and I'm convinced that it's the most lightweight cot that I've ever tested.
