Ground Cloth

Rated 4.9 out of 5
Based on 44 reviews

The ultralight layer between you or your gear and wet ground.

Weight: 3.7 oz
Availability: In stock, ready to ship
$180.00

We built the ultimate, super lightweight Ground Cloth for minimalist overnight backpackers who like to sleep under the stars, but who still want foolproof protection for their gear from moisture, mud and dirt.

Ideal for goal-oriented adventurers constantly on the move and in need of fast protection from inclement weather, it’s sizeable but weighs less than an iPhone. Pair it with our Flat Tarp or UltaMids (if not using the respective inserts). Made of 100% waterproof Dyneema® Composite Fabric (formerly Cuben Fiber), it serves as an excellent waterproof barrier between you and the ground. Stake it out with its reinforced loops so the wind doesn’t blow it away.

Compact and light!

This ground cloth is a useful size for either tent or tarp camping. I've yet to use it, but the quality appears to be excellent.

Durable and Lightweight

Really great ground cloth. Gave me plenty of coverage for my tent. I was most impressed by how durable it was. I put it on some fairly sharp stuff. No holes. Totally worth the investment!
