    Any 6'5 guys using the RR?

    I know the web page description says it fits up to 6'6, but just wondering if there are any guys using it who are pushing that limit and if there really is enough room to be comfortable. I'm every bit of 6'5 but lean at only about 200 lbs so the weight isn't an issue, but just wondering about length. Thanks for the help, just trying to cover all the bases before pulling the trigger.

    The only way you are gonna know if it fits you OK is to try one out. If you can find a local hang, and somebody has one, that is a good way. If not, the re-sale on WB stuff is really good. You will likely lose shipping charges, and a little more, but just consider it rent. Just my .02...

    I am 6'4", 200 lbs, and am very comfortable in the RR, although I do nearly touch at each end.
    The problem I have encountered is getting an Underquilt to fit properly. The quilts designed for gathered end hammocks are hard to get fitted properly (for me, some have had success). The quilts made specifically for the RR come a little short of the ends in order to get a gap free fit and that leaves my feet hanging past the end of the UQ. Two solutions that work for me - a partial length UQ with a foot pad, or a inflatable pad that is as long as the RR bed.

    I'm 6 ft. And I felt I had just enough room to lay still, too small for my comfort.

    Thanks for all the feedback guys. I haven't found anything longer, so I guess I'll have to make it work.

    Thanks for the link. That may be an option down the road, but as new as I am, I probably need to purchase one first and start figuring it all out.
