Mountain Hardwear Stiletto 1 Tent 1-Person 3-Season - 2008 BCS

You do need to stake out the tent for it to stand.

I agree with the others. I am 5'9" and it is fine for me. Any taller and it would be a no-go. I have used mine in the rain numerous times. It was fine. I have been caught in snowstorms and very cold temps and ended up sewing on ultralight ripstop nylon for a snow skirt as the fly doesn't go very close to the ground at all. I replaced 4 of the pegs with the large nail type pegs to deal with hard ground. Overall, I actually am pleased with it. I have owned other brands of solo tents and they were pretty much useless even at my height. Do yourself a favor and try to get somewhere that has one to see for yourself.

I'm 6'2" and I find this tent just barely to be long enough. Really, I wish I had not bought it. my head and feet fit, just like they did in the storeroom floor, but in the field I find that my head was pushing against the wall of the tent throughout the night. Additionally, I would like more room side to side. I'm generally OK with a cramped space, and this tent is going to be good for when I really want to stay lightweight, but I much prefer my Zoid 2 (even with 2 people) to this. The vestibule on this tent is wonderful though, which was a big part of the reason I purchased it.

You might want to check out the Big Agnes tents, Fly Creek UL1, Seedhouse SL 1, Copper Spur UL 1, and Emerald Mountain SL 1. Fly Creek and Seedhouse you'd have to stake out to maximize the floorspace and keep the rainfly of the tent body and decrease condensation/increase ventilation, but both are freestanding. The Copper Spur and Emerald Mountain are both free standing and do not need to staked out. The Fly Creek and Seedhouse are both lighter, while the Copper Spur and Emerald Mountain will both be slightly heavier.

Well A guy below is 6'3" and 225 and he says he is comfortable so I would go with that although he might be used to cramped quarters. Other than that this is a solid tent-you definitely get what you pay for. I have the MH Sprite (which is not free standing either) and it can be somewhat annoying pitching it on rocky or super hard packed ground, but that is what hammers/nalgenes are for.

It's recommended. However, doesn't look to be currently in stock (6/15/09. Footprints are not typically included with the tent but If you can find it, it will be well worth it as you'll be protecting your new investment.

I have this tent and im 6'3" and 225 and this tent is perfect for me you will have no problems at 6'2"

a little math will help you with this problem. Even mountain hardwear's site says 15 square feet, so that is correct. But if you convert your inches to feet and multiply the two, you have a total of 12.27 square feet, 3 square feet short of the actuall. the web-site screwed up. convert 86 inches which is 7.1 feet long and multiply it by the width you will have your 15 square feet.
So there it is, it is really seven feet long by 2.16 feet wide. Which will be plenty long enough :)

It is 86" long not 68" - so you would have 14 inches of added length.

It says the floor space is only 5'8" long, so you might be a bit squished.

You will probably find a hollow-core nylon fly to be as tough as a regular fly during normal use... what ever that is. With that said, the fabric is used so the total tent weight is as light as physically possible not as tough as possible. If you want tough... you gotta add weight! 2lbs.8oz. includes tent, body, and poles.
