The polycryo groundsheet is manufactured in the United States by Gossamer Gear and it will help keep dirt from the ground off your back and gear. Additionally, it prevents punctures to your inflatable mattress or tent caused by branches or rocks.
You will need a groundsheet depending on the type of shelter you have. Generally, when you purchase an ultralight tent, they already include a protective base to insulate you from the ground. But sometimes, it’s not enough, or they simply don’t include one, and adding a polycryo groundsheet makes sense.
It prevents wear and tear, keeps moisture from seeping in, and keeps your tent and gear clean from ground dirt. If you want to know more about groundsheets, read this article Groundsheets for shelters.
The polycryo groundsheet can be cut to any size with scissors to give it the dimensions and shape that best suit you. Moreover, it doesn’t fray, so hemming is not necessary.
But make sure it is shorter than the space occupied by the shelter itself. If it’s too large, the polycryo groundsheet will collect rainwater and store it under the tent.
Polycryo is one of the lightest materials you can get with a reasonable level of strength and durability. It is made from a thin sheet of cross-linked polyolefin (polypropylene) 1 millimeter thick.
It is transparent and incredibly light. It is also highly resistant to tension, puncture, and tearing.
