A footprint doubles as a tarp against rain, wind and sun (that is, against excessive exposure to UV radiation). Combine footprint and rainfly to travel extra light!
Exped says:
Footprints for ground protection beneath tents. Available for all Exped tent models, a footprint protects the tent floor from abraison, dirt and humidity. Shaped like the tent floor, but 10 cm (4“) smaller all around to prevent rain from collecting between footprint and tent floor. Also covers the vestibule floor space to protect the vestibule from dirt and humidity.
Our Verdict
Modern tents are designed to be used quite successfully without a footprint; however, Using a footprint makes your tent floor last a lot longer than not using one, so if you wish to actively extend the life of your tent and don't mind the extra weight we recommend using them, especially if you are unsure of the terrain you may be encountering.
