well I'm 6'4 and around 250ish pounds... I LOVE bridge hammocks. The WBRR is a fantastic hammock, and I highly recommend you check them out. If you're anything like me, you probably had issues with calf ridge on most gathered end hammocks due to your height and weight.

I 2nd the longer hammock. 11 foot . I noticed a difference going from 9.5 to 11....
But for reference I am now looking at bridges. I'd like to tryone first before I increase my pack weight
Im 6'4 and started in an ENO dbl and could not get into a comfortable position. I opted for an 11' with an added footbox and that made a huge difference and now sleep like a baby. I tried many different brands to see which one fit me the best. Best of luck in your search!
I'm 6'4" 260. I like my ENO dbl for the casual hang or afternoon nap. It stays in my truck. So far I'm feeling pretty comfortable in my new HH ED zip. Haven't spent a lot of time in yet though. A few naps, and a few over nighters in it so far.
One of the Dutchware hammocks in 11'. Its a simple hammock like the ENO, so its a relatively inexpensive way to see if 11' is indeed better.

I've experimented with some DIY's at 11'6" that seem to work good. I'm 6'4" as well and have really broad shoulders so I've tried to go as wide as possible.
Not to go off topic but since all you guys are my same size let me know what backpacks you can get to fit long torsos. In need like a 24" it seems like everything ends at 22"
