I think the 165cm is the height inside not at the doorway.. doorway probably 155ish. A knot in the cross strap helps though

Frontier Xd :
165 cm is measured at the front peak, inside in the middle the XD is higher
Door height of the XD is 143cm (photo in the Frontier topic) Not many 1 man bivvies will have a door height of +143cm

I'm 6'2 and have a Titan Hide XL, not sure of the exact door height but it's pretty tall.

Had no idea it was that height, I haven't measured it.

Seems pretty high to me compared to the Chub Vizor I was using before, maybe because the Hide itself is a much taller shelter?

Dont think TS is looking for a bivvy with a 130cm door height, he is looking around 160.

. . .I'm 6'1" and anything under 140/150 is annoying . . .why manufactures insist on silly low 'stealth' bivvies (other than material saving costs) these days is daft IMHO . . .

Agreed I am 6'1 too and have just moved to a fox r series 1 man , from a jrc quad, the extra height is much better for my ageing back.
