>>1991776This. I'm 185cm tall and decided to go with a large and wide pad and could only barely fit the thing inside of the tent. Also filling the pad was a bitch because it was basically raining all the time so I had to try and fill the pad while being inside of the tent. And I could barely even sit up inside of the tent.
Next time I do a hike like that I'm going to have a 2 person tent AND a seperate tarp for if I need to take a break during the day and need a shelter. Also makes pitching the tent a whole lot of easier if you can first pitch a tarp over yourself to cover you and your tent from the rain.
