6’ 6” and I bought that tent and returned it. The measurements are incredibly disingenuous as it’s only that length directly on the floor due to the incredibly steep wall slopes, which I guess is perfect if you’re 2 dimensional. At 12” off the ground however where your feet and head are, it’s shorter inside than an X-Mid 1. Don’t waste your time on that tent.

I bought one back in 2017 as my first backpacking tent. It's treated me well, and through both high winds and torrential downpours.

Because it's a really old design and people moved on to newer shinier things, especially after they stopped making it in DCF. It's a great tent, especially for tall people.

I use it, and love it. So much so that when it was ~8 years old and in need of replacement, I only briefly looked at different options before buying the new version. In those 8 years it did near on 10,000 km. I replaced the zipper and it had a few tape patches from general wear/tear and a few holes because the owner is an idiot, but otherwise help up really well. I can fit myself, and my pack, inside the tent proper. Plenty of room for dirty shoes under vestibule.

I have taken my six moons design skyscape trekker everywhere. It is silpoly and has been durable to the point that I gave it to one of my teenagers (boy scout) when I bought my Owyhee tarp.

Interesting! I have a regular 2025 XMid 1P (not the XDome) and I fit in it just fine at 6'1. I've also used the SMD Skyscape Trekker, which was nice, but still a tad small for my taste (though I did fit in it).
