These are both long enough for folks 6" tall. The length is 82 " so you would have to scrunch a little. While you could use these as more of a primary shelter as they try to advertise I think they are really made more for emergency use or maybe to increase the temp rating of your sleeping bag. I carry them in my car and day pack. The price isn't bad but for comfort and versatility it's worth the extra $12 for the hood, 1/4 zip and slightly heavier material in the regular Escape Bivy. I think the weight difference is 3 oz. I tried one of these out once: 10 degrees f, a little under-dressed for what I'd normally wear in that weather, snow on the ground. I stayed out for about 3 hrs and mostly froze my ass off but actually did sleep briefly. I could have stayed out all night and while I would have been fairly miserable I felt that I would have been warm enough to survive.
