Description
The Kelty Late Start 2 Footprint is a ground cloth shaped to match the Kelty Late Start 2 tent, laid underneath to shield the tent floor from rough or wet ground and add a bit of extra weather resistance where the floor meets the ground. It's tent-specific, so it only fits the Late Start 2 and isn't interchangeable with other Kelty models.
It's a straightforward add-on for extending the life of the tent floor on trips over rocky, gritty or damp campsites; on soft, established pitches the risk to the floor is low enough that many hikers will skip it to save the extra bulk and weight.
