Mountainsmith Waterproof Tent Footprint - Lightweight Foldable Camping Tarp for Hiking & Backpacking | Durable Ground Protector for Tents, Perfect for Outdoor Adventures & Family Camping Trips

First, I'm an amateur camper and I know little about footprints and tents. That said...It's thin and similar to the material the tent's roof is made of, which surprised us. It seems well made, but our impression was it seemed on the "flimsy" side. I rated it 5 because it's of good quality, and just because I thought it seemed "light-duty" it's likely that way to keep the weight down. And, both the tent and this footprint fit together in the tent bag that comes with the Genesee, which is a huge plus. We bought this mainly to protect the bottom of the tent. It seems it will do that fairly well, but will also help give another layer of protection from dampness, etc. This is nowhere the ruggedness, or element-proof, as a regular tarp, but it's weight/size, transporting efficiency and having it the perfect size fitting under the tent, this seems like a good investment for a quality tent that we want to last!
