I'm 6'4" and a stomach sleeper so I find most tents not long enough for my liking. I'm curious from anyone else my height or taller and a stomach sleeper as well and how zpacks tents at 90" long actually works for you, do you find it large enough? Any issues? I'm kinda eyeballing a duplex but concerns with the length.

Previously owned a LGH SoLong 6 and currently use a custom extended (102") YMG cirriform.

Note: not looking for recommendations of other tents in this thread, thanks.

If you look on the page for the Altaplex, the model in the tent pictures is 6'6". Maybe that might be a suitable candidate.

I would love to hear from someone 6'4" with a duplex… since I am 6'4" :)

Are you by yourself or with someone? If by yourself, there shouldn't be any reason why you couldn't just angle your mat a bit.

I am 6'7 and own both a Triplex and Altaplex and fit comfortably in both. I am in love with Altaplex for solo nights. There is room on both sides of my NeoAir for gear and the high door and head room makes it feel roomy. I highly recommend.

I use the triplex for when I travel with a buddy (use it as a 2 man tent) and again there is no problem and room for gear inside. I usually put my backpack at the end of my large NeoAir and still fit.

Hope that helps.

I'm 6'6". . . and am wondering. . . is the Triplex the answer to my shelter needs??? I use a 7'0" bag. How easy is that thing to get in and out of? How durable is it? Oh. . . and how bombproof in the wind?
