Although they may not qualify as ultralight, Big Agnes UL2 XL and UL3 XL have 96" of interior length, and they are quite lightweight for freestanders.
6â4â 260# backpacker here. Look at the ULA Catalyst. For sizing I went with the large returned it and went with the XL. Tent is Big Agnes copper spur 2 XL. Feet still hit the bottom of the tent but not by much. Pad is the therma rest permaloft. 78â long and 26â wide. Bag is western mountaineering 6â6â bag. That is not the mummy bag. I forget what they call it but you will see on website. I take a chair, thatâs my luxury item, when I put together my setup I felt that I almost had to pay double for big items that fit properly. If I was 5â4â and skinny I would have chosen different, cheaper, lighter things. Good luck. Hope this helps. Oh yeah and the grail water filter. Give up some on weight but in my opinion worth the convenience.
Big Agnes Copper Spur UL 2 XL with a Mont Zero XL sleeping bag is the $$ set up, put them into AI and ask for Chinese clones/dupes and you can get cheap aliexpress versions. Probably not the best long term options but would make a decent starter setup. Also the exped megamat 15 will make camping so much better, big guys have a lot of weight and it sucks to sleep on hard surfaces. Only 197cm long so I have the duo and sleep diagonally. Not the best for hiking (bit big) but great for car camping. Can find them second hand for $200 on marketplace.
Iâm 6â10â and they make [this](https://www.bigagnes.com/collections/backpacking-tents/products/copper-spur-ul-two-xl) same tent in a long, which is what I own, Iâve even got 3â to spare.
Also in CO. [Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2](https://www.bigagnes.com/collections/backpacking-tents/products/copper-spur-ul-two?variant=45805172850937) is a solid 3-season tent. Also if any component ever breaks, just drive to the BAP store in Steamboat for repairs (usually same day, and free). Iâve been completely overwhelmed by their products, attention to detail, and customer support. Youâre also supporting a CO owned and run business. Wait for sales for the best price. Edit: added link.
The XL or Long version of the UL2 is great for tall hikers (6â05â me thinks so)
I like the Big Angus Copper Spur UL2. I just got back from a 3 day trip with it and it stood up well to wind and rain.
