Sale Oppland 3 LW (2.0) Footprint Tent Accessories

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Nordisk footprints are made in sympathy with their tents – that means an ultralight tent gets a very lightweight footprint. An exact fit to the floor of the tent there’s no surplus material or weight.  

Nordisk says: 

Not only does a footprint protect your tent, adding years to its durability, it also converts a dirty outside area to a proper storage area, by providing a clean and waterproof floor.  Another underrated feature of a footprint is directing the moist from the ground to go around your flysheet. This removes 90% of condensation from the inside of your sleeping cabin, leaving you with a dry and comfortable indoor climate, no matter the conditions outside.

The Oppland 3 LW (2.0) Footprint fits all Oppland 3 models.

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. 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. The footprint also does a great job of keeping the floor of the tent clean when your pitch is wet or muddy.
