Not easy to transport if you dont have good arm strength. Great carry case, just quite heavy. I used this product for an entire week and was very comfortable sleeping in it alone and also when my daughter joined me one night. We had enough space. I did pump up the air mattress (added some air) a couple of times throughout the week, but didnt have to. I am not sure how the cot would hold up in the rain. I was set up in a protected area. Would be great if there was a pouch inside somewhere where I could have stored my glasses. Overall a great product. I set mine up in the house the first time to make sure I had all the parts and to follow the directions properly. That was a good decision!
