Hotcore | Mantis 2 Tent Footprint

Think of a footprint as the insurance policy for your home on the trail. While the Mantis 2 is built tough, the "Alligator Green" Hotcore Footprint adds a critical layer of defense between your tent floor and the abrasive granite, sharp roots, and damp ground typical of a backcountry site. Precisely cut to match the dimensions of the Mantis 2, it prevents moisture from seeping through and significantly extends the life of your tent. For the minimalist looking to shed grams on a clear summer night, this footprint also enables a "Fast & Light" setup—allowing you to pitch just the poles and the rainfly for a breezy, ultralight shelter without the weight of the inner tent body.

• Custom-Fit Protection: Sized at 86” x 55” to fit perfectly under the Mantis 2, protecting the floor from punctures and reducing the amount of dirt you have to clean off when packing up.
• "Fast & Light" Compatible: Engineered to work with the Mantis pole system and rainfly alone, creating a minimalist weather shield for high-speed summer adventures.
• Waterproof Ripstop Fabric: Made from 70D ripstop polyester with a 1500mm waterproof coating, providing an extra barrier against ground saturation.
• Compact & Featherlight: At just 260g, it’s a negligible addition to your pack weight that offers massive benefits in terms of tent longevity and dryness.
• Versatile Utility: While designed for the Mantis series, its rectangular shape and durable build make it an excellent standalone tarp or ground cloth for other minimalist setups.
• Easy Transport: Comes with its own carry bag, packing down to a slim 31cm x 20cm that slides easily into any pack pocket.
