Big Agnes Footprint for C Bar 3-Person Tent | Lightweight Groundsheet

Overview

The Big Agnes Footprint for C Bar tents is a lightweight groundsheet designed to shield the tent floor from rocks, roots, moisture, and wear on uneven campsites. It acts as a protective base under the tent and also unlocks flexible shelter options when paired with the tent fly, poles, and stakes. This footprint is built to integrate with the C Bar family, helping you tailor your shelter setup to match terrain, weather, and your packing style. The result is a footprint that supports a calmer setup process after a day of hiking and a more robust base for overnight comfort.

In addition to floor protection, the footprint supports a streamlined Fast Fly configuration when you want to trim gear weight. This option requires the footprint, tent fly, poles, and stakes, offering a fast, minimalist shelter solution without sacrificing protection from ground conditions. The footprint weighs in at a tidy 10 oz, making it a sensible choice for backpacking where every ounce matters. Pack dimensions are compact at 8.75 x 6 x 1.25 inches, helping it nestle into your pack without stealing space from other essentials.
