Ultralight Shelter Footprint
Footprints (or groundsheets) protect the base of your tent, keep water out, provide additional insulation from the cold ground, and make pitching your tent easier. Our ultralight tent footprints are available in two sizes and two materials.

Tyvek
Tyvek footprint is made from hard surface Tyvek. This ground cloth is extremely durable and will protect your shelter floor from sticks and rocks. With proper care, one Tyvek Footprint will last for a multi-month and multi-thousand mile hike.
Notes: For a softer feel, prewash your Tyvek in a washing machine. It will make the material softer and easier to fold.
Polycro (2 pack)
Polycro footprint is made from ultra strong and ultra light Polycro membrane. Designed for shrink wrap and frequently used as a second thermal layer for windows, this material is exceedingly rugged. While not as durable as Tyvek, it'll provide significant protection and weighs virtually nothing.
Be careful though, this material is so light, it'll blow away in a light breeze. So be sure to weight it down after you spread it out.

Footprint/Groundsheet Questions
Are they cut to the size of the shelter?
No, but they are very easy to cut or fold to the footprint size you prefer. We recommend using the guide above to select a footprint that best fits your shelter.
Why choose polycro or Tyvek?
For those looking to save the most weight and bulk, polycro is a good choice. However, the savings comes at the cost of longevity compared to Tyvek. Tyvek is much thicker and will last longer, but weighs more and takes up more space in your pack.
