Buy a M2. Just your height you will need it.

I'd go for a M2 or Finisher if you are going with an Avery blind. Dont have much experience with FA and other blind layout blinds.
I use a Power Hunter and Ground Force blind and enjoy them both but I'm 6' and about 175 lbs so I'm a flat belly. For your height, I would say the GF could be alittle tight.

Going by your description, i would say go with a M2. It will have enough room for you and gear in the blind. I have a finisher and i put my gear bag and a medium sized cooler bag in there with me and i still have room.

I would go to a sporting goods store and try them out. I'm not sure if Cabela's still has their waterfowl display up, but in Sept they had every blind they sell set up. Pretty nice to be able to compair all options side by side and lay down in them. If their display isn't up I'd try to find some buddies that would let you lay in theirs.
I personally have a FA SUB and two Tanglefree Landing Zones. I'm only 5' 11", but both have a ton of room for a guy my sized. |

I second the Roger's Goosebuster XL. Give yourself a little room to move.
