    Question Standard or long Incubator? I'm 6'3"

    The Standard length Incubator 0° is long enough to generously cover most hammock campers up to about 6’ 2".
    "Generously cover" sounds to me like it would "sufficiently cover" me at 6'3". Anyone else at 6'3" have experience with a standard length Incubator? Will it be sufficient or will the longer length be necessary?

    I am 6'3" and used to own the Long Incubator. If I were going to buy a full length UQ again, I would get the regular length. You really don't need every last single inch of your toes covered. And even then, the standard length probably will.

    I am 6'2" and the long is perfect.

    I'm 6'1"+, like the long but wish I had gotten the regular width.

    I have the regular length, but I'm just under (by about half an inch) 6 ft.
    If I were 6'3" then I'd have bought the long, maybe the standard version would be OK but I'd rather have some extra margin.
    I suppose if the price or weight or bulk is a big issue you could make do on the standard length, but if it were me I'd go long.
