Outlet Tiger Wall UL3 Footprint Tent Accessories

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A footprint might feel like extra weight, but with the right tent, it adds protection, flexibility, and peace of mind.

Big Agnes says: 

To extend the life of your tent floor, we recommend using a Big Agnes footprint or ground cloth. The Big Agnes footprint also enables you to pitch a lightweight, Fast Fly shelter while leaving the tent body behind. The Fast Fly configuration requires the footprint, tent fly, poles, and stakes.

Our Verdict

Most manufacturers recommend using a footprint to extend the life of the groundsheet of your tent, but if you’ve just bought an ultralight tent, do you want to carry the extra weight associated with it?

We recommend using a footprint if you expect camping on rough ground, especially with lightweight tents with fabric like the Tiger Wall. Some footprints have other uses, such as pitching just the flysheet and footprint together as an ultralight shelter – so in this case, the footprint provides you with increased flexibility in your shelters. The footprint also does a great job of keeping the tent’s floor clean when your pitch is wet or muddy.

Finally, on Big Agnes in particular, they are good at minimising the weight of the footprint, so if you buy a tent from their ultralight range, then you get an ultralight footprint – not all brands seem to understand the importance of this.
