I purchased the footprint for my Tadpole 23 prior to heading out on 4 day trek in the Northern Cascades of Washington State. I liked how it helped to lighten the load.. yet gave more interior space (can use the vestibule for sleeping area.. making it a much more comfortable fit as a 2 person tent). It took a little while to figure out how to set the tent up quickly.. but I eventually got the time down to under 4 minutes after getting the swing of things.
I had to pick up and move the tent with the footprint but the footprint detached from the tent - bummer
