Spotted these and thought they looked interesting, especially given that the inner is over 7' long. Weight doesn't seem bad, can be pitched together or outer only and there seems to be plenty of boot room. Reasonable perhaps for tall folk with a spare £150?

Re: A tent for the taller?
Whenever I put a 2" mattress into these tents my large head and large feet invariably brush the inner and I am only 6' tall. The bathtub floor might be long but the sloping roof starting so low always makes them much shorter in practice.
Unfortunately the only way out of this for truely tall people is a tunnel tent with vertical inner (i.e. one of these which is not heavy at all for the size of it, but oh dear their prices are rocketing upwards).

I reckon sorting all those poles out for every erection would be akin to a game of 'Pick Up Sticks'.

There's only 2 Reg. The uprights can stay in their pockets.

Re: A tent for the taller?
Is that a power cable entry point on the inner?

Re: A tent for the taller?
When prone and wet outside, foot height is my issue too. Dimensions all round very similar to my Nordisk Telemark ULW 2, although that end frame (fiddly though it may be) gives a claimed height of 350mm against the Tele (rather saggy-when-wet end poles design) of around 200mm. Yes, heavier - considering the Tele is currently 670GBP, it looks worth a punt.
