Ground Cloth
$175.00

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. It’s a sheet packed with tech for any backpacker that loves sleeping under the stars, wants to keep gear off wet ground, or needs a spot for their pup to rest.
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, Echo 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.

Haven't used yet but...
So impressed with the quality. It's light enough to have a permanent spot in my pack but it seems tough enough to be used in a variety of ways without worrying. Something to sit on, to put gear on, have a picnic on, to hang as a tarp, as an emergency blanket, a tent footprint, who knows. Great little stuff sack. I'm moving away from nylon where I can -- expensive to go DCF but when things get wet I'd rather have it. Just shake off the water and go, plus repairs are easy.
To Use With UM4 Tent
Bought to use with my mid 4 tent and/or as a sit area. For the negligible weight worth it to have it in the pack for any one of a dozen uses.
Light, waterproof, perfact
Lightest darn ground cloth I have ever used. Other ground cloths are just too flimsy and are not waterproof. This thing is light as can be and still feels substantial. Good job!
Every Ounce!
I questioned if I would regret the cost for function on this piece, but hands down, would do it again. It provided unrivaled protection in the most rugged harsh conditions the Wind Rivers could through at us. Snow, downpour, mud, talus, Krumhotz...and for the space and weight, this things performed flawless.
Must have
Awesome safety item. Fits in a pants pocket. Can be used as an emergency blanket and tarp.
Worth the cost. Haven't used the product yet but I know I will love it and take it everywhere I go into the outdoors.
