I'm 6'3 and I just fit in this tent. I have a long Marmot sleeping bag that I kind of have to bunch up a little near my feet to keep from pushing against the tent wall. The reason I chose this tent is because of the weight, and it beats a bivy. Also it's not single walled tent so there is barely any condensation and ventilation is great. My regular prolite Thermarest fits in it, a large Therma could problem to fit in it, but I try to keep my weight down. There are clips that attach to the poles around the door but the long center pole has to be threaded through loops on the tent body. I wish there were clips for the long pole so I could use the fast fly setup during rain then just clip the tent body inside the rain fly. Instead you have to put the tent up first then put the rain fly on second which gets the inside of the tent wet. Vestibule fits my Gregory G-Pack but probably wouldn't fit a larger pack. This is the best and lightest single person three-season double-walled tent I've found and I tried out a bunch. I hope to see in next year’s model a few inches longer and clips on all the pole-to-tent connections, not loops.
