Do any tall people (6’2″+) have experience with the Gatewood Cape & Serenity Net combo?

The gatewood and serenty are my goto shelter,BUT at 5'10 and a neoair my face is only
a couple of inches from the net. The gatewood alone would be plenty of room for you. You could look at Bearpaws pyranet, its a little longer and wider. I also have the skyscape scout and it has lots of extra room for me both at foot and head.

I am 6' 1" and have a Skyscape Trekker (Sil Nylon.) I have plenty of space at the head and foot end. One time the bottom end of my sleeping bag was in contact with the tent, but that was because I was on uneven ground and had slid down. Normally there is no contact at all between the sleeping bag and the tent even though I use a Neoair and am raised up a few inches.

"Unfortunately SMD hasn't replied to multiple emails….hopefully you guys can help me out. "

… There's your sign :(

I have a Wild Oasis, which pretty much the same size. I am 5'11" and with a NeoAir I just fit in it. Nice shelter, BTW.

Ian,

Actually we did respond to you on June 17th. You might check your spam folders as our emails sometimes get redirected. Below is the reply to you inquiry in case you can't find it.

You are correct that at 6'2" you'll be at the limit of comfort sleeping in
the Gatewood. Complicating the matter is the pad you're wishing to use.
The Neoair at 3" is quite a bit thicker than the normal 3/8" to 1" pad. As
such, it further reduces sleeping space for taller people.

If you're using trekking pole for support, you can raise the canopy by
several inches to compensate for both your height and the depth of the
pad.

Hope this helps,
Ron

Yes, You did reply! And you're right…it ended up in spam. So sorry!
