Ok I am going to take the plunge and get the WBBB. Just wondering if there is any reason to jump up to the XLC. I am 5ā€™9 and 185lbs so I thing the BB is the right choice. Thoughts?

I just spent a night in the B'dub in the most wicked thunderstorm I ever encountered - and I lived in South Florida for 10 years.
This thing was epic.
In my Clark NX-270 covered with the Warbonnet Thunderfly - I stayed absolutely 100% bone dry.

I'm 6'2" and my sons have 1 of each. I prefer the XL but can make due with the regular. I think the regular would be perfect for you. The regular fits under tarps easier. If you can swing it, their superfly is awesome.

I have the original, but Iā€™m 5ā€™3ā€.

Love the BB and superfly. Been in some nasty storms and stayed dry, except for a little spray coming from under the tarp.
