Recommendation by use

UseRecommendation
As little weight and packed size as possibleNano SL: 830 g and 20 × 15 cm according to the manufacturer. With a roll-top closure: the Nano RTC in standard size (1050 g).
More gear or load capacityNano XL: 155 kg load capacity instead of 135 kg according to the manufacturer.
Stowing gear inside the tubeAccording to the manufacturer, boats with a roll-top closure (RTC) let you carry gear inside the tube.
Still and gently flowing waterAccording to the manufacturer, the main use of the Nano RTC (XL).
WhitewaterNot the main use according to the manufacturer. There are separate, sturdier packraft models for whitewater.

Recommendation by height

According to the manufacturer, the XL size offers 20 cm more interior space (140 instead of 120 cm) and is 190 g heavier. So if you need more legroom, go for the XL. The manufacturer doesn't give specific height limits, so we don't either. Leg length is what matters most. The safest option is to try it: by appointment you can test the boats with us in Jülich, Germany (see contact).
