Product Description

WE ONLY CARRY THE MEDIUM SIZE NOW.

"I recently finished my 5-month PCT thru-hike using your Polycryo ground sheet under my sleeping pad and bivy. I was able to use the same one the ENTIRE 2663 miles, though it now has several duct tape patches on it. The next time someone asks you if it's durable, this is proof that it is. It definitely exceeded my expectations and at 1.5 oz (for the individual size), it is way light." - Wayne Herrick | Lakewood, CO

Looking for a ground sheet that's lighter than Spinnaker fabric? The Polycryo ground sheet is constructed from industrial grade cross-linked polyolefin. This material is extremely tough for it's weight, with amazing puncture resistance. It has a tensile strength of 15,400 p.s.i. (1,083 kg./sq. cm.) per ASTM D-883. It is waterproof, but very slightly breathable (1.09 gms of water vapor/100 sq.in./24 hours). At 0.55 oz./sq.yd. (16 g.), it's HALF THE WEIGHT of our Spinnsheet™ ground cloths. You will have to replace this more often than tougher alternatives, but it's very economical. These single ground cloths are shipped as a 2-pack so you have an extra. Our medium size is 40" (102 cm.) wide.

These ground cloths are absolutely clear, so you can see if you missed any pebbles or pine cones after you put your ground cloth down. It would also serve well as a solar still in an emergency situation. This stuff is amazingly tough for it's weight, and can help shave those last few grams off your pack weight.

WARNING: Since these sheets are made from shrink film they will shrink when exposed to extreme heat. We tested these sheets in heat this summer and found that the sheets shrink 1" to 2" (3 to 5 cm.) in width and up to 5" (13 cm.) in length. These sheets do not need to be in direct sunlight to shrink, just very hot temperatures.
