Just wanted to let those of you who are in the "tall" catagory know, I'm 6'4", that I fit great in my new shelter. I haven't yet tried my 3" inflatable pad, but my with my 1/2" cc pad and a torso length 1" thermarest pad together, I had plenty of room for my head and toes (pointed straight up) to not make contact with the fabric. Can't wait to try it in the real world…outside of the backyard.
Jan 10, 2012 at 2:57 pm #1822828Thanks for the info. I was interested in one but am also 6'4" and had this concern. I was thinking of the twin size with no beak. Let me know how it works with the thick pad. I use one too.
Jan 10, 2012 at 4:07 pm #1822857Good to know. Pics??
Jan 11, 2012 at 11:32 am #1823274No pics as of yet. I may get a trip in early February, so I can post pics afterward. I think a 3" inflatable pad will be fine, as I don't sleep with my toes pointed straight up…we'll see.
Jan 16, 2012 at 10:30 am #1825337I had an opportunity to set up and seam seal my Hex. Also got some photos to show inside fit.
Plenty of room above my head.
Still room beyond my feet.Jan 17, 2012 at 7:20 am #1825681Thanks for posting. I think I just might fit inside one myself.
Jan 17, 2012 at 8:55 am #1825721Ben,
I know it will be a little snug, but I have a MLD Bivy that I will carry for questionable weather (blow-in rain). I also like the 10 oz part of this set-up. But in the testing I was glad to see the room I would have. Most of the time I sleep on my side and knees drawn up a bit so that will help.My hiking poles are MYOG (golf shafts) and are 49", Joe at ZP states that the pole should be about 52". This would probably raise the sides up to give a little bit more head and toe room. But I am very happy with the fit.
