What this Zempire W Leg Stretcher V2 is about

I would say this all is about the V2 in the name of this cot. So this is a completely modified version of a cot that has been around for 5 years at least. In fact, it is so different that I wonder why they kept the same basic name.

The cot is a collapsible type, so this means it has several separate elements and you have to put this all together when you need the bed. But this is all easily done and without much force and without extra tools. 

When not in use, it stores into its included carry bag. It is shown in the picture, and you will want to know its dimensions, so it measures 27.2 x 9.1 x 3.1 inches (69 x 23 x 8 cm). As you see, it is equipped with carry loops on two sides, and you have a U-shaped zipper with glow zip pullers.

The materials

This cot is very much improved compared to its previous version.  You have double stitched pole sleeves for added stability. The bed fabric is a heavy duty durable and weather resistant 600D poly oxford.

The metal elements are powder coated rust-resistant 16 mm steel tubes. This includes two side rails and 5 folding legs. They claim it can withstand harsh corrosive conditions, especially when camping beside the sea.

You have leg locks in place that secure the stretcher in an open position, preventing accidental folding. The picture below shows one of the legs. As you see, they are not W-shaped as in the previous version, and they are much wider.

Note that this design is not unique on the market, you can see it also in this EVER ADVANCED Folding Camping Cot that has been around for some time already.

Who is it for

Regarding the capacity, the cot is quite modest with its official 220 lb (100 kg). So if you need much more, it is best to check my list of cots for heavy people.

Regarding the dimensions, the bed measures 76.4 x 25.8 inches (194 x 65.5 cm). So the length is very good here, note also that there are no end bars, so the whole length is a true useful length.

But the width is modest, there are bars on the sides that take a few centimeters. On the other hand, you have 7.5 inches (19 cm) clearance underneath the cot.

As you realize, it is very low and it will fit in practically every tent. But this is still lots of volume to store your camping gear, you have almost 240 liters of volume underneath the cot.

Low enough to fit in any tent.
Low enough to fit in any tent.

Regarding the weight, the cot is moderately light, it weighs 12.2 lb (5.54 kg). You have already seen its packed size, so it is quite compact, and you realize you can transport it even on a bicycle.

Regarding the price, I think this is very reasonable for a cot from such a brand. You will have links below to compare a few sellers.
