Big Agnes Footprint for Fly Creek HV UL 1 — Ultralight Tent Groundsheet

Overview

The Big Agnes Footprint for Fly Creek HV UL 1 is a purpose-built groundsheet that complements the 2021 Fly Creek HV UL1 tent with the TipLok buckle. Designed for the newer Solution Dye variant, it delivers a dedicated base layer while keeping the overall kit lightweight for fast, backcountry setups. Note that this footprint is not compatible with older Fly Creek models.

Lightweight Protection, Real-World Use

Weighing roughly 4 oz, this footprint adds a minimal, screen-printed weight to your pack while protecting the tent floor from damp ground, rocks, and abrasions. Its compact packed size—about 7.5 x 5 x 1 inches—lets you slip it into a side pocket or under the tent vestibule without crowding your kit.

Materials, Build, and Durability

Crafted from nylon rip-stop, the footprint emphasizes resilience for rocky campsites and root-strewn campsites. The rip-stop weave helps resist tears and fraying, maintaining a clean surface that supports an awning or rainfly during unsettled weather. This build aligns with the Fly Creek HV UL 1’s weight-conscious design, delivering protection without bulk.
