I really don't know. I suppose it's no shorter or longer than any other "average" tent. I don't think they make them for super tall people because it causes extra weight for the "average" population. You'd probably have to ask another tall person, I'm not exactly massive myself ;)

I hope this calculation helps.

the tent is 230cm long.

so 230 centimetres = 7.54593176 feet (7 feet 635⁄64 inches)
so basically its 7 foot 5 inches long. I used google to calculate this.
but saying that I did this with the messuring tape too, and it came to 7 foot 6 inches, wierd.

hope that helps.

Not trying to put you off or anything like that, but keep in mind that 7ft6 wont all be leg room. Take into consideration the shape of the slope and where you will store your kit.

It is a 2 man tent, therefore a single person using it can lie diagonally and get a bit more out of the length.

Don't forget good Doctor that 7.5 feet is 7 feet 6 inches!

Not sure, haven't unpacked it yet. Looking forward to it though, seems to be a cracking tent, plus at <1.5kg for 2 people its a great weight too. (Cheers Jonny!)

Sweet :) I really like the door design on those, you can open either side depending on the wind direction cant you?
