I am six feet. I use a Warbonnet Yeti, which is the 3/4 length. The one you are asking about comes in options between 73 and 83 inches long. From my experience with the Yeti, Either of those options will be more than enough for you. For what it's worth, I was skeptical of the 3/4 length design, but it worked out great for me. You should have ample coverage underneath if you go with the full length quilt, without doubt.

I'm 6'1" and bought Inccubator top and bottom (full length) quilts a couple years ago. Happy with both. Biggest reason for me choosing Hammock Gear was that, at least at the time, their standard quilts were an inch or two longer than everyone else's. Standard length is usually too short for me and longs are too long. These seem to be about right.

I get full coverage from the bottom quilt.

I hate to be cold, So I over estimate the coverage and temperature rating. So, I use a full length 20 F UQ (78" long) from wilderness logic at 5' 10". I have been happy so far. With their service, price, and the product. But I have not used it into sub freezing temperatures. I do like the way it attaches and its been fine in the upper 30s.

My son and I who are both 6'2" use the HG Incubator 20 Long. We both really love the UQ and the extra length is very helpful.

changing my mind again, seriously looking into the uq's from the winona minnesota bunch. enlightened equipment, nice looking gear.

quote bwcasolo: "...enlightened equipment, nice looking gear."
I use a 20 degree, 75" Revolt Pro uq and 20 degree Revolution Pro tq. Wonderful to pack and carry, and just as nice to sleep in.

You won't regret it - I bought the Jarbidge for my son (it's full length on him :)), and am surprised at the quality.

I have a friend with the Potomac, and he loves it as well.
