Half Dome 2 Foot Print

By Trout

Pros

Difficult To Setup

Best Uses

Comments about REI Half Dome 2 Footprint:

This is not easy to set up with the tent because this footprint's attachment points, the grommets, are poorly placed on the footprint's webbing. In both length and width it is approximately 6" too long. Consequently the footprint is forever falling off the ends of the tent poles while your are trying to set up the tent or fine tune it's location. This is especially problematic when trying to pitch the tent in a wind. As you pick up one corner to place the grommet on the pole, the wind gets under the tent lifting it, allowing the other corners to fall off. The solution to the problem would be to move the grommets in toward the footprint's fabric. Bottom line; it performs it's intended function, but is unnecessarily difficult to install and keep installed.

Comments about REI Half Dome 2 Footprint:

I have owned this since the first Half Dome 2 hit the market years ago. This footprint fits great and stays put if you place the gromet on the tent pole first followed by the tent gromet. I think this is a good design since the tent floor corners can be stretched to their limits without the footprint restricting the process.

Comments about REI Half Dome 2 Footprint:

After purchasing the footprint for the REI Half Dome 2 and having some difficulty in attaching the footprint to the poles, I took the tent and the matching footprint back to REI for advice. A REI associate and I measured the dimensions of the tent and the footprint and set up the tent and attached the matching footprint in the store. My footprint and a new one off the shelf both measured the same and had the same grommet spacing. It was found that the foot print was the right size but the location of the grommets do not allow a secure installation which makes installation difficult in even a slight wind and allows the footprint to migrate under the tent...possibly allowing collection of water under the floor of the tent. The associate said he would call the manufacturer this week and see what they recommend. Barring getting rid of the footprint all together, I would most likely try to install additional grommets closer on the attaching straps with a grommet repair and installation kit avail in store. REI associate said that I could return the footprint even if I tried to modify it and it didn't work. Will see what the manufacturer says first......

Comments about REI Half Dome 2 Footprint:

If you place the grommet on top of the tent grommet the footprint stays attached to the tent no matter what. Then with the rain fly grommet under everything and cinched down, it makes the tent one movable piece. The foot print does exactly what it was made for. Extends the life of the tent and even works as a minimalist shelter (which I really need to test). Beyond all that it's great and something I'm very glad I purchased.

Comments about REI Half Dome 2 Footprint:

this works great in dry weather. I was camping in a heavy down pour and the floor was soaked. It does not repel water at all. The material is pretty thin so I'm not sure how protective it would be against abrasions. In bad weather, I'm going back to tarp. this is only good for sunny days and smooth, flat grounds.

Poor Fit

Poor Design

Best Uses

Comments about REI Half Dome 2 Footprint:

The design of this footprint if poor to say the least. As mentioned by previous reviews the alignment of the grommets is too long and too wide allowing so much play that the footprint doesn't stay in place under the tent thus defeating the purpose of a footprint. I chatted with an on-line specialist and was also forwarded onto REI's QA group. They basically told me that there is nothing wrong with the design and to express my concerns on the review section of this item. I was sadly disappointed that REI wouldn't own up to their design flaw and propose a solution. I'm considering returning both the Half Dome 2 Tent along with the footprint which it too bad because I really like the tent and the REI products. Come on REI - I expected better than that. Please let me know once you fix this problem.

Comments about REI Half Dome 2 Footprint:

I bought this footprint for my original Half Dome 2 that I picked up at an REI garage sale for [$].It will fit the original Half Dome 2, but is a little on the large side, which is perfectly ok. It packs down very small and fits into the tent stuff sack when storing and into a small pocket of my pack when on a trip (I pack the tent w/out the stuff sack).I used this in Yellowstone and the Tetons in June when it rained daily and the ground was very damp the entire time. The footprint performed exceptionally well, keeping all of the dirt and other crud off of the bottom of my tent. The ground underneath the footprint was bone dry, relative to the area around it, after breaking camp. The other people I was with used a plastic tarp, which they packed away and didn't use again after the first night.I am very satisfied and surprised at how well this footprint protected the tent, and highly recommend it for any situation.

Comments about REI Half Dome 2 Footprint:

My foot print are going on 8? years of hard use and abuse. It's been used from the Rockies to Alaska and it still looks brand new. For the first time in 8? years, I finally had to reseal the footprint to keep it from soaking up water during down pours(think tundra with rain forest like rainfall for months on end). This footprint has saved my tent floor from jagged rocks, branches and the like. Also a nice indicator that my tent floor should be redone as well as they are both coated the same. I'd imagine I would have had to reseal my tent floor many more times if I did not have this foot print. Excellent product!
