Base Cot Tent (1P)

Name: Base Cot Tent (1P)
Brand: Kovea
SKU: KEC29TM-01
Price: 399.00 CAD
Availability: InStock

The Base Cot Tent takes the classic cot-tent idea and makes it flexible: pitch it directly over a folding camp cot to sleep off the ground, or use the included ground sheet to set it up as a standalone 1-person tent with no cot at all. A one-piece hub pole and symmetric front-and-rear design make it quick to pitch either way, while 40D silicone-coated nylon keeps the whole package to just 2.5kg -- light enough for everything from a solo overnighter to overlanding camping.

Waterproof 40D Silicone-Coated Nylon

A 40D nylon ripstop shell with silicone coating keeps the tent lightweight while staying durable and reliably waterproof.

One-Piece Hub Pole

Every pole connects to a single hub, so the whole frame pops up in one motion for fast, stable setup.

Wide, Comfortable Headroom

A wide ceiling structure means you can sit up and move around without ducking your head.

Front & Rear Symmetric Design

The tent is symmetric front to back, so there's no wrong way to orient it -- just pitch it and go.

Hand opening the 2-way zipper on the tent door

2-Way Zipper Ventilation

2-way zippers let you open just the section you need, so you can dial in airflow and keep the interior comfortable.

Door-fixing webbing shown lit up and reflective in low light

Reflective Door-Fixing Webbing

The webbing that holds the door open catches light and glows, making the tent easier to find and see around after dark.

Half-mesh inner tent showing the breathable upper panels

Breathable Half-Mesh Inner Tent

The one-piece pole frame carries a half-mesh inner tent for strong airflow on warm nights.

Hand tucking the inner tent door into the door pocket

Door Pocket for the Inner Door

A dedicated pocket keeps the inner tent door tucked out of the way when it's open.

Phone and small items stored in the interior mesh pocket

Mesh Pocket for Small Gear

A roomy mesh pocket keeps a phone, glasses, or other small items within reach.

Power cord routed through the cord slot in the tent wall

Cord Slot for Power Access

A cord slot lets a power cable pass through the wall, so you can run electronics without leaving the door open.

Lantern hanging from the O-ring at the ceiling hub

Ceiling Lantern Hook

An O-ring at the ceiling hub keeps a lantern hung up and out from underfoot.

Quality Hardware, Fast Setup

Guy-line adjusters, webbing buckles, and pole-tip clips are all built to make setup easy and dependable for anyone.

Ground sheet laid flat next to the tent pitched standalone on the ground

Setup

On a Cot, Or Right On the Ground

An included ground sheet means this cot tent pitches just as well directly on the ground as it does over a folding camp cot -- from summer inner-shell-only use to overlanding camping.

Design

Symmetric Ends, One-Motion Hub Pole

A front-and-rear symmetric shape means there's no wrong way to orient it, and the one-piece hub pole lets the whole frame pop up in a single motion.

What to Know Before Buying

A Cot Tent That Also Pitches on the Ground

A minimalist 1-person tent designed to enclose a folding camp cot, or pitch on its own directly on the ground using the included ground sheet.

Not a Multi-Person Basecamp Tent

Official capacity is rated for 1 -- the inner tent is sized for a single cot or sleeping pad, not a shared basecamp footprint.

2.5kg for the Full Tent Package

Total weight is 2.5kg for the tent body, inner tent, pole, ground sheet, stakes, and guy lines together.

Expect a Few Minutes to Pitch

The one-piece hub pole pops the frame up in a single motion, and the symmetric front/rear design means there's no wrong way to orient it before staking out.

Fits Standard Folding Camp Cots

Designed to enclose a standard folding camp cot (sold separately). No cot on hand? The included ground sheet lets it pitch directly on the ground instead.

Standard KOVEA Warranty

Covered under KOVEA's manufacturer warranty per Korea Fair Trade Commission consumer dispute resolution standards.

Can I use this tent without a camp cot?

Yes -- a ground sheet is included, so the tent pitches directly on the ground as a standalone 1-person tent, no cot required. For the true cot-tent setup, we recommend pairing it with KOVEA's Impact Fusion Camp Cot -- the two are designed to fit together seamlessly.

How much does it weigh?

2.5kg for the tent, inner tent, pole, ground sheet, stakes, and guy lines.

How many people does it sleep?

It's rated for 1 person -- the inner tent measures 195 x 75 x 110cm.

Does it matter which end faces forward?

No -- the front and rear are symmetric, so there's no wrong way to pitch it.

How waterproof is it?

The body fabric is rated to 2,000mm, the floor to 3,000mm, and the included ground sheet to 5,000mm, all with PU/WR/silicone coating.

What are the poles made of?

Aluminum (Duralumin 7001), Φ8.5mm, built as a one-piece frame that connects at a central hub.

Can I hang a lantern inside?

Yes -- there's a dedicated O-ring at the ceiling hub for hanging a lantern.

Does it have interior storage?

Yes -- a door pocket keeps the inner tent door tidy, a mesh pocket holds small items, and a cord slot lets a power cable pass through.
