SMD solo tent for tall people?

For now, I have the TT Contrail and like it for decent size, weight and small packed size. (I'm 6'5" as well!) I had bought and returned a SMD Lunar Solo because of fit issues about the time that word leaked out of a larger solo tent in the works.

I'm waiting to see what SMD comes up with. If I like the new model, I'll probably buy one and make a side-by-side comparison with the Contrail. If the new SMD is the winner, then I expect to sell my Contrail through the BPL forums. If the Contrail is the better choice, then I'll return the SMD tent.

Like you, I'm looking ahead with anticipation to see what SMD develops for those of us near 2 meters in height. FWIW, I have the Lunar Duo and absolutely love it, but in my gear closet it is reserved for two person trips. I know of at least one BPL member who uses the Lunar Duo for his solo trips as well as for two person trips with his spouse. For one person, that tent is positively palatial!

I hope Ron Moak doesn't mind me posting this, but since the question has been asked, I'm forwarding an email I received from him on May 27:

"I still haven't nailed down the specs on the Vamp. Every time I get
close, something else throws me out of whack. So I'm way out on delivery
times. Right now it probably won't be until next year."

FYI the Vamp is the solo shelter for taller hikers. Personally, I'd rather wait for Ron to get to his "Aha! Perfect!" moment of inspiration than to have a rushed product…

Thanks very much John! That definitely helps with planning.

Thank you John Carter for the update. Like you, I'd rather wait for Ron to be happy with the product. Besides, if it is a next season item, then my budget will have an easier time coping with the new purchase!!!

Here's hoping that "next year" isn't next June! (My vote is for February…serious cold here in Minnesota and a good time for on-line shopping!)
