The North Face Stormbreak 3 Footprint groundsheet — Castor Grey One Size, 1500 mm PU water resistance

The North Face Stormbreak 3 Footprint is a fitted groundsheet made to protect the floor of your Stormbreak 3 tent from abrasion, moisture, and wear while camping.

Designed specifically for the Stormbreak 3 three-person tent, this Castor Grey footprint gives an extra layer of defense between your tent floor and the ground. Built from 75D polyester taffeta with a 1500 mm PU coating and a non-PFC DWR finish, it reduces water seepage, prevents punctures, and helps extend the usable life of your tent. Lightweight and packable, the footprint is a simple add-on that saves repair time and keeps your sleeping area cleaner on rough campsites.

How does this footprint protect my tent on rough ground?

The footprint acts as a sacrificial barrier so sharp stones, branches, and grit hit the groundsheet first rather than your tent floor. That minimizes punctures and abrasion damage, which helps maintain the tent’s integrity and reduces the chance of costly repairs.

• 75D polyester taffeta resists tears and scuffs
• 1500 mm PU coating blocks ground moisture
• Non-PFC DWR sheds light rain and dampness
• Custom cut to match Stormbreak 3 floor dimensions

Will it keep me drier if the ground is wet?

The treated fabric and PU coating give a dependable, water-resistant layer beneath the tent floor. While not a fully waterproof floor in isolation, the footprint significantly reduces moisture transfer from the ground and adds protection during damp weather and dewy mornings.

• 1500 mm hydrostatic head rating for water resistance
• PU-coated face limits seepage from saturated soil
• DWR finish helps water bead and run off quickly

How much extra weight and pack space will this add to my kit?

At an average weight of about 9 ounces, the footprint is lightweight and easy to stash in a backpack or car kit. Its slim, packable profile means it won’t take much room, making it a practical trade-off for the added protection it provides.

• Average weight: 9 oz (approx.) for minimal carry burden
• Thin, foldable fabric packs flat under sleeping gear or in a bag pocket
• One-size design fits Stormbreak 3 without extra bulk

Is this footprint eco-conscious or sustainably made?

The product carries The North Face badge indicating it meets the brand’s sustainability threshold, meaning a significant portion of its materials are recycled or responsibly sourced. That helps reduce virgin material use while still delivering durable performance on the trail.

• Meets the brand’s sustainable-product criteria for responsible materials
• Constructed using recycled and/or responsibly sourced components by weight
• Non-PFC treatment reduces reliance on legacy fluorinated finishes

Who is this for: The Stormbreak 3 Footprint is ideal for campers who own a Stormbreak 3 tent and want simple, effective protection against abrasive ground and damp campsites. It’s especially useful for weekend backpackers, family car-campers, and anyone who pitches on mixed terrain and wants to extend the tent’s lifespan while keeping the interior cleaner and drier.
