Hornet 3P Footprint

Footprint for the Hornet 3P

Nemo says: 

This NEMO footprint is an abrasion-resistant [nylon or polyester tarp] perfectly sized to fit underneath your corresponding NEMO tent. Adding this layer of durable, waterproof fabric reduces wear and tear on your tent floor, which can be caused by camping on rough or rocky ground.

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.
