I'm 6'3" Found it very livable in there.

Edit: Do you use hiking poles? Where do you plan on using it?

you might check out a couple of other tents that im sure will have plenty of room

in them and double doors/vestibules

first is the black diamond mesa this is a palace of a tent and is capable or riding out a storm its heavier than what your looking for but all other criteria
would be there i had one and loved it it has a 90 inch floor so long bags are not a problem and its plenty wide enough for two people i slept three in mine once and everyone managed to sleep well in it

next is the mountainsmith morrison
though not nearly as spendy as the mesa its a hell of a tent for the money
it also has a 90 inch floor and is wide enough for two with double doors and vestibules and aluminum poles i own one currently and have to say for the features it has and the price it is a definate bargain in the two person tent arena

just a suggestion if you can get past the extra weight

Hey,

Yeah I have hiking poles. I was considering the Nemo Meta 2P,

It's definitely large enough but I read mixed reviews regarding condensation issues.

Regarding where I plan on using it. I live in Northern California, so primarily the Sierra Nevada and costal regions. It's fairly dry in the Sierras during the Summer/Fall, although the coast gets socked in with fog.

I had the same criteria, and also looked at the Meta2. Decided on a Six Moon Designs "Lunar Duo" and I'm really glad I did. The "spreader" poles at the top make it feel huge inside, weight is dead on at 40 ounces. I was originally worried about weather-worthiness, but after 2 seasons in it I can vouch for it through cascade range thunderstorms. For reference, I'm 6'5".

+1 on the Six Moons Design Lunar Duo. At 6'4", I love mine. It is a palace for 40 oz, easy to set up and stable.

I would also suggest checking out the LightHeart Gear Duo. It is similar in design to the SMD Duo. I have a LHG Solong 6 as a solo tent and the craftsmanship and quality that Judy puts into her stuff is top notch. Her customer service is terrific as well. She spent good deal of time making sure all my questions were answered and that I had exactly what I needed.

Good luck on the search.

It is large. Pretty popular too.

I have the Copper Spur UL2 and I'd say head to toe would be a no-go in it. It's heavier than your criteria too – mine is 3 lbs 7 oz with stuff sacks, stakes and guylines that were included. A couple ounces more with a few additional Ti shephard hooks and guylines.

We also use a Copper Spur UL2 and I think head-toe will not work. The foot foot of the tent is much more narrow than the head.

Hey,

Thanks for all the input. I'll definitely look into the Tarp Tent/Six Moon Designs options.
