Their aging, much-loved ProTrail Li is so wide they have never had trouble touching the sides, and once squeezed themselves and a partner into it in a bad situation. They note the front entry is one of its limits.

At 195 cm the ProTrail Li is their main tent and they would suggest it to anyone tall.
At 5 ft 11 in on a 2.5 in tall, 25 in wide pad, finds the ProTrail Li long with fantastic lying-down headroom and good venting when pitched right; it fits tight spots, has a fairly roomy vestibule and packs small, but getting a rainworthy pitch is hard on anything but flat, open sites.
Has used the ProTrail Li for one 6-day trip and loves it, though they are still getting used to single-wall condensation.
First trip with their ProTrail Li was very wet: condensation was so bad after the first rainy night that they packed up to save their sleeping bag, and the sides sagged.
Has had their ProTrail Li out about 20 nights in the western US with no condensation issues, though only in light rain.
Hiked the JMT with the ProTrail Li; it took a while to perfect its finicky pitch, but once learned they stayed dry through hail and severe rain.
Their ProTrail Li got condensation like their other single-wall tents, and it is more annoying because the sides drop more as water gathers.
Used a ProTrail for about five nights and had to be really careful not to touch the narrow, condensation-prone walls as a larger person, so they sold it.
Has three nights in their ProTrail Li so far, including heavy rain, with no issues to report.
Has had their ProTrail Li on a couple of trips and finds it a more finicky pitch than expected at first.
After a few more nights, their ProTrail Li fits perfectly in their 40 L Atom pack and the interior seems super roomy for a 1P tent; it did fine in some wind.
Has limited experience with their ProTrail Li and may still prefer their Aeon Li, perhaps from familiarity.
Condensation has not been an issue in their ProTrail Li with the foot vents open, and it packs down great, which decided it over the Aeon.
Took the ProTrail Li on two decent trips and in winds over 60 mph near Italy Pass the tent handled it quite well.
Has a comfortable 4 to 5 inches of clearance in the ProTrail Li on a NeoAir XLite with a Katabatic Palisade.
Condensation has not been a big issue for their ProTrail Li in Europe; it is nicely roomy with a slim footprint, though not for strong side winds.
Loves their ProTrail Li; the main differences from The One are front vs side entry and the price.
Their ProTrail Li is great, but they do not trust it in high winds, and getting a tight pitch with its short guylines is difficult.
Tried the ProTrail Li with a 4-inch-thick pad and a big 10°F quilt and found enough clearance; a fantastic setup they are thrilled with.
Tried the ProTrail Li and found its DCF a tad fragile, slightly thinner than Zpacks uses and very see-through.
