Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

It's a much cheaper and lighter alternative to the name-brand footprints that the tent manufacturers pair up with their tents. My only gripe is that the price seemed just a tad high when i purchased it. Works great and is so much lighter than the stan...  Read More

Tyvek 43gsm 1443r kitemaking material is a perfect choice for a lightweight, compact, easy-to-pack groundsheet. It's a little easier and slimmer to fold up and stow in a pack. This gage of material is also this enough to be easy to handle.

This particular fabric is soft and doesnt exhibit the bad crackling noises that you get when you buy normal, heavier-gauge housewrap. If you run it through the washing machine, it softens up and has very little crinkle sound.



Cons

It is a very light weight wrinkled fabric. Is not thick enough to be used for a tent footprint. One side is smooth and water resistant, the other side has a cloth-like quality to it that retains moisture and debris.

Shipping


Order was as expected and delivered in perfect time.

Packaging/appearance


In case you're interested, i cut my piece to 8' x 5' so that it will be even lighter and more packable, but still just large en...  Read More

I used it for bike packing but it will work well for backpacking as well.

Competitiveness


This is an excellent alternative to the zpacks footprint (~$100).


) the resulting footprint was lightweight, exactly what i wanted, and cheaper than what alps was offering.


It's a much cheaper and lighter alternative to the name-brand footprints that the tent manufacturers pair up with their tents.


This 1443r material is, in my opinion, superior to the thicker house wrap type of tyvek that many other backpackers use as grou...  Read More
