4-szn tent for tall people
|
My 2p BD first light tent puts a considerable amount of pressure on my feet given I am just a wee bit too tall at 6’4 .... any suggestions for tents that are a little on the long side? |
|
Maybe not a real 4 season tent, but Big Agnes makes a "4 season" version of their Copper Spur (they call it expedition or something - it's red). The Copper Spur series have pretty long floors. I'll be watching this thread since I share your length problem. |

BD eldorado is longer than the Firstlight. |
|
https://rab.equipment/us/latok-mountain My 6'2" partner fits for length, but two people are a squeeze with him on the width. |
|
You could check out the Marmot Hammer tent. It’s a couple inches longer and about the same weight as the Rab tent mentioned above |
|
If you can find a used mountain hardwear EV2 that would be a good option. It is very long inside. It is however best used only in the "4th" season. Link to review from another site on the EV2, I see them pop up on craigslist from time to time. https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/reviews/camping-and-hiking/4-season-tent/mountain-hardwear-ev2 |

Samaya 2p tents are very very long, which I love for gear/boot storage as well. Similar use case tent as the BD FIrstlight, but way nicer overall. It would probably fit your bill, as long as you are okay with the bill! |

New on the market is the slingfin hotbox which says it is 82 inches long. Hotbox |

That marmot looks nice. Cheaper than the Rab, too (since the vestibule is included) |

I'm 6'7". For major expeditions I used to use a Trango 4, with one other partner. But for more general use I have a Bibler Tempest (no longer made) which is plenty long, but have also found Bibler/BD Fitzroy and Eldorado OK. The Eldo I used on Denali alone years ago and it's def longer than the I-Tent. I also use a BD Firstlight and it's def a bit short. I've also used Hilleberg tents - Jannu and Keron, and at 220cm+/- they are also good. I recently used a Rab Latok Mountain (eVent) in Ladakh and it was long enough also (just) and much more breathable than any Bibler or other single skin tent I've used. I haven't seen in the flesh the newer BD Mission tents but they appear to be long (240cm): blackdiamondequipment.com/e… |
