Footprint for the MSR Access 1 Footprint

MSR says: 

The Access 1 Footprint can help protect your tent floor and extend the life of your tent. Designed to keep your Access 1 tent floor clean, dry and better protected from wear-and-tear.

Our Verdict

Most manufacturers recommend using a footprint to extend the life of your tent’s groundsheet. But if you’ve just bought an ultralight shelter, do you really want to carry the extra weight? 

Our take: bring one if you expect to camp on rough or abrasive ground, or if you’re heading out on a multi-day trip where you won’t always know what kind of surface you’ll be pitching on. Some footprints also add versatility, letting you pitch just the fly and footprint for an ultralight setup—so in those cases, they’re doing more than just protecting your groundsheet; they’re part of your overall shelter system.
