i ain't never seen tents like those! where did you find them? they're different!

 

The dark green tent is a Kamp-Rite Compact Collapsable Tent Cot. Amazon has them for $140.00 .
Its a really nice set up and the tent will separate from the cot so they can be used individually or together. Its built pretty rugged and although I have not used it in a big rain storm yet, with the rain fly installed I have no doubt it would stay dry, even if there were strong side winds. Besides straps holding the corners of the tent to the cot, it has zippers running the length of the tent to keep them married. Its a single sleeper and my 6 foot 200 lb body fits in it great. It folds up pretty small and goes into a mini duffle bag. The duffle fits easily on the racks of the little 250's we ride. The purchase includes both tent and cot.

The blue, white and yellow tent is from Cabellas. "Cabela's Cot/Bivy Tent" The one in the picture is a Large that is designed to mate with Cabella's Outfitter XL cot. They are sold separately. However I only see the regular sized tent on Cabella's web page now. The Large would sleep two if the two people were pretty friendly with each other. The Outfitter XL cot ends up with a really tight skin when assembled. This tightness minimizes "roll to middle" syndrome.

The tent is perfect for the hot desert camping I use it for. Very breezey and the no-seeum mesh gives a great view of the night sky. The rain fly is good for light rains, but if a real storm came I would prefer to be in the Kamp-Rite model described above.

The tent and cot are sold separately. Either unit can be used without the other. The duffel for the cot is large enough to just fit the tent duffel inside it, so you get a single duffel to attach to your quad. I mount the duffel on the rear of my back rack behind the soft side Rack bag I use.
