DuPont Tyvek Ground Sheet and Tent Footprint

Light, tough, noisy

This ground sheet does the job but it quite noisy especially if you are not using a tent and putting the mattress straight in it. I have a Mont footprint which is much nicer to use , however it’s not as light .

Early days but seems good.

I tried it out for the first time this weekend. Kept the tent dry and clean and provided a clean and dry surface to pack the tent away in the morning. I did wash it before using as recommended but it's still really 'crinkly'. Super light, packs small and seems surprisingly tough.

Tyvek sheet - versatile

Lightweight & hard wearing. The material is initially very stiff, but a few cold washes (in with a load of clothes & towels) softens it up. I used once as a footprint under my 2P tent & it was amble. Also one lightweight overnight trip using as an improvised, throw over bivvy. Was great as a top & bottom cover, keeping dew off my pad, quilt, pack & boots - less confined than a closed in bivvy. Versatile alternative uses for this building product, big enough to trim down when the edges get ratty & cheap enough to replace if it wears through.
