Dragonfly 1P Footprint

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Dragonfly 1P Footprint  footprint from Nemo is made from superlight, super strong 68–75D abrasion-resistant nylon, its the correct size and with the correct fixings for easy convenient use.

Nemo says: 

The NEMO Footprint is a 68–75D abrasion-resistant nylon or polyester tarp perfectly sized to fit underneath your corresponding NEMO tent. Adding this layer of durable, waterproof fabric reduces wear and tear on your tent floor, which can be caused by camping on rough or rocky ground.

Our Verdict

Most manufacturers recommend the use of a footprint to extend the life of the groundsheet of your tent, but if you’ve just bought an ultralight tent do you really want to carry the extra weight associated with it? And if you always need a footprint then why don’t the manufacturers just beef up the floor fabric?

Our recommendation is to use a footprint if you expect to be camping on rough stony ground – Corsica’s GR20 is a good example of this, and leave it at home if you are not. Some footprints have other uses, such as being able to pitch just the flysheet and footprint together as an ultralight shelter – so in this case the footprint provides you with increased flexibility in your shelters.
