I put it under my tent, got inside, slid around too much. Got out and removed it and put back in my pack. No chance to test leakage.corvus wrote:Strider wrote:Looks like its rubbed on something while rolled? I wonder if being wet had anything to do with it.
Strider ,
Forgot to ask ,did it actually leak at that spot ??

Me..in fact its what I mostly use. I had a custom one made for my SL3 and I made a foot print out of it for another tent. Never had any probs with it and its much easier to pack/less bulky than the home wrap. That being said its probably not a robust from a sharp object. But seeing as its a back up to a tent floor I've never had an issue. Besides your tent floor should be waterproof..the tyvek is just another layer to help protect against something rough after all. I'll happily continue to use it.
