Yes, a person your height (6' 2") should fit ok, but it will be a compact shelter with not alot of extra wiggle room. The Solplex is more roomy for a person my height, 175 cm (5' 9"). If you want more space for gear and to stretch out consider the Altaplex or Duplex.
I just purchased this tent for my AT thru-hike next year. I really love my ultra-light hammock set up but going with this tent, top quilt,thermarest pad, Arc Blast 60 I was able to cut over a 2 pound of my base weight which is now just below 9lbs.
Really liking this shelter, currently have an older Hexamid Solo that i'm very satisfied with but the vestibules on this one are kinda awesome. Great video!
Joe, do you guys at Zpacks use some specific design software to design and simulate your tent projects? I would love to use a template tent, for instance, and play with the different materials, weights, traction limits etc. Thanks!
Philip Buckley if it wasn't what is shown why didn't you contact Joe? did you not have your poles set high enough? the design hasn't changed that I know of..its basically a bivy tent anyway and Joe is smaller so if your a large guy of course it would be smaller..and who just gives away a 555$ tent? your whole story seems fishy to me.
What happens with the doors if the wind is blowing really hard, would they flap a lot and allow rain under the fly or do they stay taught from the line holding them in place?
One door overlaps the other one. Ideally you would pitch with the overlapping door upwind, or with the back of the tent upwind. If you have a bad pitch the doors do billow a bit, but the floor is set back far enough to avoid any rain spatter. Most of the time if the wind and rain is gusting you can even leave one downwind door open for airflow and it doesn't flap much at all.
Looks great! Saving my lunch money for a Duplex.
Do you think this is comfortable enough for 187cm tall hiker?

you need to get a better quality camera! its terrible! no one there has a iPhone or something?
jjeep91 It's good enough.
What do you do if it rains and you only have one of your tents/tarps...?
wish I had purchased something like this...
I like it but I'm also skeptical
Beautiful equipment.
Mad sweet
Sweet
next time...this is the tent....
+Philip Buckley I tried this....and it was not what is shown, on this video...it was much smaller and had to crawl into it....gave it away...

I did not think of that....it was a disappointment, though....and am not tall....at 5.4 that is not the issue....
