I have the XL version which was produced in a limited quantity. It it just a few inches longer. I got this considering I am 6'6" tall. This tent is impressively light weight. I can pack the entire tent into my backpack and still have plenty of room compared to other tents I have packed. The weight speaks for itself. For how light it is, it is really spacious. I really like how tall it is. My favorite part though, is the pole system. It is a really unique two pole design. One pole is a four legged spider with a notch on the center. The other is a pole that connects with the center of the other, then two branches that follow down to the far corners. This design allows for not only a light, simple setup, but also I really tall ceiling in the front. Also, the "feet" are really simple and a clever design. Everything snaps in very securely. The tent is very well ventilated and stands very strongly. I wish it was self standing but it is lighter this way.
Overall, great 3 season 2 man tent. Really light and really clever design. I would recommend this to a friend.
