Tent for a tall person
Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2021 6:04 pm
Hi all,
I'm new to the hiking/back packing scene and recently completed my first hike and wild camp with a 4 day trip in the Cairngorms. Was absolutely brilliant and it is something I'm keen to do more of. My only slight issue was my tent. I am 6'5 and couldn't find a lightweight one man tent that I could fit in before I went. So, I had to settle for a short term 2 man Vango. Whilst this was fine for my first trip it isn't something I can use long term as it is too heavy and won't do well in high winds. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good lightweight one man tent for a tall person for future trips so that I don't have to sleep with my head out the door?
Cheers
John
