    Correct size of New River?

    On the web site, the sticky says, either 48" x 78" or 84" but in the written description, it says either 6' or 6' 6" long. I am 6' tall. In thinking, it would give alittle more warmth with the fill just a dash more compressed at the 6' length vs. the 6' 6" maybe? And what is the correct length? Does anybody know or understand what I am asking?

    I am 6'4" and went with the longer version, you should be fine with the 78" as the 84" covers my plenty.

    Paul at Arrowhead offers these quilts in two seperate sizes. A regular length best suited for a person 6'0 or smaller.
    And a long version for folks in the taller range, up to 6'-6".

    So is the 78" and/or 84" the finished size length?

    The measurements are the rough finished size if layer flat, however once attached to the hammock and cinched up the quilt will measure shorter than layer flat on the floor. Like Gargoyle said user hight is the factor in picking a regular or long.
