I'm 6-foot 4.5-inches barefoot. For you tall folks what did you go with the top quilt?
Did you find the manufacturers posted dimensions to be smaller due to the filling?
If anyone is close to my height, please advise on stock TQ's (yes I can order custom). Google could only find one "tall" thread, but he was short... only 6'2" :lol:
What's this got to do with a class action lawsuit?
However, at 6'4" I use a GI mummy bag with the hood cut off as a top quilt.
im 6-3 and use JRB long quilts. http://www.jacksrbetter.com/shop-jrb/
I'm teasing :)Quote:

HammockGear also does the long, I am about to order one. Its $20 bucks more and they are also running a sale for Black Friday. My buddy is 6'8 and he is getting the same one that I am looking at. Adam said it would fit him fine so you should be good :)
The GoLite long fits me at 6'4
I'm a HG long burrow devotee, and I'm 6'4".
HERE IS A LINK to another thread that posed some of the same questions. Good luck on your search, there are some great options!:)
6'7" and I use custom Hammock Gear Quilts.
I'm a Shorty, at 6'2", but the HG burrow long fits me, with plenty left over.
I'm 6'-6", I had a Burrow long but now have a Black Mamba long from Warbonnet. They both fit great but I prefer the Mamba...
It would seem there's little basis for that lawsuit.:laugh:
Im the 6'8'' buddy lol and i would deff go with the Hammockgear top quilt.. $20 extra and your all set upQuote:

I'm 6'4" and I have the HG long TQ and its about perfect.
Yeah I'm pretty short compared to your standards at 6'1" and I just got the XXl from wilderness logics. Fits great with a TON of room left over.
Looks like you've pretty much gotten your answer, and it looks like there is no problem for the talls.
I'm 6'4" and use a hammock gear long burrow------its just long enough for me.
I'm 6'5" and the Hammock Gear TQ's work well for me...I tell Adam & Jenny and they make it long enough for me.:)
Same here. Even with the footbox cinched around my size 15 feet, the JRB long quilts are plenty long for me, and I am 6' 3" as well.Quote:

ok im 6'6'' with size 15 feet and VERY BROAD (in a good way i promise!) i think im going with the hammock Gear burrow long. blackfriday sales are sweat especially when cottage hiking shops do them!
6'4" here and love my long sized burrow from Hammock Gear. Great people to work with and I'm sure they could add length if you're concerned.
I can sleep in any position in my blackbird and not have any issues with my length compacting the down... no cold spots due to pressure points.
Highly recommend their gear. I have a TQ and UQ from them.
Glad to hear everyone is finding something that fits them! I'm just 6'3", so usually end up ordering a long. Have a long Incubator 20F in queue!
I'm 6'3", and have tq's from 3 dif makers, and they are long enough to tuck my head inside for cold or sun, no problem.
In regular length or longs?Quote:

I went with the 20* Burrow tall, wide, no taper
Just wanted to confirm that at 6'4 1/2" barefoot the "long" burrow is working out pretty good. I would say it comes up to just under my nose when I'm fully stretched out.
6'6" and I use GoLite long !
Seems about right, my Burrow came just under my nose.Quote:

Yea that was was I was hoping for, and I was between the burrow and mamba. everything i have is Warbonnet, so I figured Id try another company... and it was a little cheaper. Thats good to know though, thanks for sharing thatQuote:

At least I can take solace thinking about not having to duck under so many branches while hiking - or that is what I keep telling myself. :crying
