One or Two Person Tent for Tall Guys
Hello all. Any recommendations for tents for tall (6 foot 4) people that are one or two person tents?

The Hilleberg Allak is very roomy for one with an inside length of 89". Pricey and heavy but durable. Well made and well designed.

I used a Quarterdome T2 plus on recent trip. It worked well as far as size was concerned (94x54 instead of 84x51) and had a decent height to sit up in the tent and good vestibules. The drawback for me was that the zippers stopped working - first on one side and then the other. Some of that might not be unique to this tent as did a lot of camping in the desert including a good sandstorm.

At 6'3", I can fit myself and a my 6'1"ish buddy (or my two small boys) in my Eureka Spitfire 2, and it's reasonably light and cheap.

Didn't you just buy a big tent earlier this year?

I recently added a Big Agnes UL2 to my tent stable. Like it a lot. Light, easy to set up and enough room for my 6'2" body.
