What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"This footprint is a must-have if you're investing in the Pitchpine VST 1. 5 tent. It fits perfectly, weighs next to nothing, and extends the life of the tent floor by shielding it from rough ground, sticks, and sharp rocks."We always add a footprint to our kit when picking up a new tent, and the Pitchpine VST Footprint is built specifically to match the ultralight design of the Pitchpine VST 1. 5 tent. It creates a dependable barrier between our shelter and the ground, giving us added confidence when setting up camp on rough terrain. Weighing just 2. 6 ounces and packing down small, this simple layer adds protection without adding bulk. It helps prevent moisture from seeping up through the floor and guards against abrasion from sticks, gravel, or roots. When space, weight, and durability matter, this footprint is an easy decision.
