Been using one of these for a while now when solo camping . 210cm inside with short end poles which give reasonable clearance at the foot end. Not bad for two either because it has a door each side. Packs into 40cm long bag so fits easily into a pannier. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/trekking- ... 650&c=GREY

Tarp and bivi every time for me

Alpkit has released a xl version of the Soloist tent, I have the standard version and fits good at 6ft plus some kit .. The Xl is Alpkits answer for taller folk or those want a bigger space ..

Have to be quick for the XL version by the looks of things

I am of average height but even so I have found quite a few tents pretty cramped. The old solo tent solution for larger people was the Helsport Ringstind, but the recent redesign has sacrificed height for width. And usable height is often the limiting factor, with an inner tent in your face and yet touching the bottom of your sleeping bag. Not being able to sit up to get dressed is not convenient either. By and large I think tents such as my MSR Zoic 1 summer tent with a central pole along the length of the tent solve the problem best by giving you a fair bit of quite vertical wall at both ends. The downside is that many of these are inner first designs, and hence less ideal for wet weather.
