NEMO  Hornet 1P Footprint

Both myself and REI staff were unable to figure out how the front of the Footprint attaches to the tent. After calling Nemo, the answer is that the front 'D' rings are shipped in the reverse position - you have to rotate them 180 degrees to expose the other side that has a slit in the plastic to slide it onto the tent strap.

Great footprint for my nemo hornet tent that I picked up from the garage sale. Its small, lightweight and fits the tent perfectly with a few clips. I appreciate a good footprint to keep moisture out of the tent and help keep things from poking through the bottom. Its so light you wont even notice the weight and it packs so small it wont increase the bulk in your tent whatsoever while adding a bit of protection.

I previously had this footprint for years before it was left behind on a backpacking trip, it was wonderful! It was a no brainer to buy another. First off, it is light weight and takes up virtually no room in my pack and can fit into the Hornet tent stuff sack to keep things consolidated. When setting up, it clips in easily to the base of the tent poles and stays in place throughout the night. It is a must-have when camping, whether to have another layer off the ground or to keep the water out on rainy nights. It fit my tent perfectly, leaving me dry and warm while camping in wet spring weather.

At first I like many just couldn't figure out how to fit it Contacted Nemo and recieved detailed PDF instructions straight away, like less than 30 mins :) Once you know how, its easy, adds a little weight to your backpack (185grams) but protects nicely the tent floor, So personaliy I do recomend it

The tent is fragile and I would recommend the footprint. I was baffled about how to hook it to the tent. The picture that came with the directions didn't help. After re-reading the directions, I figured out the slot in the clip on the footprint was hidden and had to be turned 180 degrees to expose the slot for the tent tab to slip into.

The footprint is extra weight you don’t need, the tent rocks and is waterproof. It’s a great tent. The footprint is just another thing you have to dry out and or wash each morning. Your tent will get dirty and wet on the bottom even with this footprint. I returned mine.

This thing is great, not sure if they made some recent improvements or not, but I really don't understand the issues that people were having. It clips on easily at the head end of the tent and stakes out at the bottom. You can even roll it up with the tent and still fit it in the tent stuff sack!

I got the 2p footprint. I don't get why companies sell footprints separately. (I mean, I do. It's for money) But I personally think all tents should come with a footprint. Anyways, it's functional. I still don't really know how to feel about how it connects to the tent. I'm skeptical that it's the best way. So far it's been fine. I agree with another review I saw that said the material of the footprint is slippery against the bottom of the tent.

This footprint fits my tent perfectly. It helps protect the tent floor against sharp objects. The footprint also helps keep the tent floor clean from dirt, mud and sap which helps extend the life of the tent. I used this footprint with my Nemo Hornet during some heavy rains and storms and it is cut so that water did not collect between the footprint and tent floor. The only downsize to it is that it is a bit heavy. For my Hornet Elite tent the footprint weighs almost a quarter of the weight of the tent itself.

Not much to say about this other than it kept my tent floor dry after I set it up during a thunderstorm in the Sierras, and I also wrapped it around a sleeping bag that couldn't fit into my pack. So....it works.
