ALPS Mountaineering Lynx 1 Footprint Navy, 1-Person — Lightweight 8 oz Protective Groundsheet 7'3" x 2'5"

The ALPS Mountaineering Lynx 1 Footprint is a navy polyester groundsheet sized to protect the Lynx 1-person tent floor from abrasion, moisture, and dirt.

When you want to keep your tent floor in serviceable condition, a purpose-cut footprint is a simple, low-cost insurance policy. This footprint is tailored slightly smaller than the Lynx 1 tent's floor dimensions so water runs off the tent edge rather than pooling under the floor. Lightweight and easy to attach, it saves cleanup time and slows wear from rock, sand, and mud.

How does this footprint protect my tent on rough ground?

The fabric used is abrasion-resistant polyester that stands up to scrapes from rocks, roots, and gritty campsites. Placed under your tent floor it takes the brunt of abrasive contact, so you replace the footprint eventually instead of the tent floor.

• Durable polyester construction resists tears and abrasion.
• Acts as a sacrificial layer between ground hazards and tent floor.
• Prevents small punctures and prolongs the tent’s usable life.

Will this footprint keep moisture and dirt out of my tent?

Yes — the footprint provides a moisture and dirt barrier so wet or muddy ground doesn’t transfer directly onto the tent floor. Because it’s cut slightly smaller than the tent footprint, it reduces the chance of channeling rainwater under the tent edge.

• Moisture barrier prevents direct ground wetting of the tent floor.
• Smaller-than-floor dimensions avoid water pooling under the shelter.
• Makes shaking out and cleaning your shelter faster after trips.

How do I attach and use the Lynx 1 Footprint with my tent?

The footprint includes corner attachments — grommet and male buckle connections — that align with the tent’s attachment points. Lay the footprint down before pitching, position the tent over it, and secure the corners; the low weight and compact size mean it’s quick to set up and remove.

• Corner grommet and male buckle attachments keep it in place.
• Cut-to-fit sizing is made to align with the Lynx 1 tent floor.
• Light 8 oz weight makes it packable and easy to carry.

What are the size, weight, and color details I should know?

This footprint measures 7'3" x 2'5" and weighs about 8 ounces, giving a balance between coverage and minimal pack bulk. The navy color is low-profile for campsite use and pairs with the Lynx color scheme without standing out.

• Dimensions: 7'3" x 2'5" — sized for the Lynx 1-person tent.
• Weight: 8 oz — lightweight for backpacking and car camping.
• Color: Navy — subtle and easy to keep looking clean.

Who is this for? The ALPS Mountaineering Lynx 1 Footprint is ideal for solo campers who want an economical way to protect their tent floor from abrasion and ground moisture. It’s also a practical choice for weekend car campers, thru-hikers carrying minimal extra weight, or anyone owning a Lynx 1 tent who wants faster campsite cleanup and extended tent life. If you value keeping equipment repair costs down and reducing campsite maintenance, this tailored footprint is a sensible addition to your shelter kit.
