    Another 6'2" guy here that uses a Hennessy Explorer.

    6' is the limit of an Expedition and to me that means comfort is also at the limit. Go larger.

    6'7" (2 meters) with a HH Explorer. Works fine for me.

    I'm new to hanging, but I soon figured out the stated limits are a bit exaggerated for my comfort. I'm only 5'6", and thought the ENO ProNest (54" x 96") would be plenty big for me. I found it a bit too confining for my likes. The DD Frontline (55" x 107" - 1.4m x 2.7m) feels much more spacious to me. Amazing how much more comfort that few extra inches of length of the hammock makes.
    To me carrying the added size/weight of a slightly larger hammock is a small price to pay for the added comfort!
