I second this comment! I'm 6'2", and can just stretch out. The angled vestibule also means it's really only a 1.5 person tent... or 1 person with room for all your kit beside you.

Other than that, bloody sturdy tent though! Had mine prob about 7-8 years and still going strong! Had a lot of use, and the first damage was a guy rope getting ripped off during this sleepless night in the Tararuas in November: https://youtube.com/shorts/gYidyeDq808?feature=share. Just plain stubbornness not to go into the hut!
