Six Moon Designs Tyvek Footprint

Tyvek is significantly more durable and puncture-resistant than Polycro, making it the better choice for rough, rocky terrain where you need extra protection for your tent floor. While it is slightly heavier, the trade-off is a longer lifespan that can withstand thousands of miles of use.

Yes, new Tyvek has a crisp, paper-like texture that can be noisy and difficult to fold. You can easily soften the material by running it through a washing machine cycle, which makes it quieter and much easier to pack.

Because this material is ultralight, it will catch the wind easily. It is best to place a few rocks or your gear on the corners of the footprint while you stake out your tent to keep it in place.

Yes, the Tyvek material is water-resistant and acts as an effective moisture barrier between your tent floor and the damp ground. It helps keep your tent floor clean and dry, which extends the life of your shelter's waterproof coating.

While these footprints are custom-cut for specific Six Moon Designs shelters, you can trim the edges with scissors if you need a slightly smaller footprint for a different tent model. Just be sure to cut carefully to avoid fraying.
