    also at 183 cm you are right on the boarder of wanting to go for an XLC above the regular WBBB. If you were 198cm then you would be way into XLC territory.

    I'm about 177 cm and would not want to be much taller in a WBBB..

    I may have a 1.1 dl XLC for sale in a couple of weeks if when i get it in I don't like it..

    I digress though

    I am confident that the 1.1 DL is the right choice for you..

    1.7 dl are for guys that approach 113 kg+ and I mean +.. I weigh a dense 109 kg and have rough housed with my 16 kg boy in it with not the first sign of stretching or ripping.
    I'm only 83 Kg, so that's just another +1 from you to the 1.1 dl.

    The next thing is a DIY UQ. but my mont tree died last week

    The tarp, is just for now, a tarpaulin cut to size. Does the job, but later ( after UQ) thats the project. Ofcause DIY. (if the UQ coms out ok.)

    Seriously? I'm not trying to be a smart***. I'm asking seriously...seriously?

    183 cm is roughly 6'. There are a number of people above that height that have reported being very comfortable in a WBBB. I think there is a 6'5" fella that was/is using a WBBB. I'm 6' and still have room to swim in a Blackbird. I can do the dang butterfly stroke in the XLCs.

    You did make me go back and look at the posted measurements, which did cause me a little bit of a giggle. Gotta love converting measurements and language in the same post:

    We agree completely. I'm a Biologist by education and I can't, for the life of me, figure out why everybody doesn't use metrics. Stubborn is very hard to fix.

    No offence taken at all..
    This is from my personal experience I am 5 10 on a good day. I have had both the XLC and regular BB. The XLC always felt huge to me but the BB fits me perfectly. I have often laid in the BB and though If I were any taller I think I would feel cramped.
    I think that its worth mentioning judging from the videos Brandon (maker of the BB) looks to be over 6' and he seems fine with it..
    But I always wondered if that's why he didn't come up with the 11'.

    Maybe with heels.

    Personal comfort is what it is all about. I was just wondering if you really felt cramped at your height. It really struck me as odd, but I know enough to know I don't know much.
