Why We Love DuPont Tyvek Genuine Ground Sheets
When it comes to outdoor adventures, every gram counts — and so does every piece of gear. At PAST Outdoors, we're always on the lookout for high-performing, multi-use items that enhance your time on the trail. One piece of gear we swear by (and our customers love) is the DuPont Tyvek Genuine Ground Sheet. Lightweight, tough, and surprisingly versatile, this humble sheet of Tyvek has earned its spot in our packs.
Built with Genuine DuPont Tyvek® HomeWrap
There are lots of imitations out there, but our Tyvek groundsheet is made from genuine DuPont™ Tyvek® HomeWrap, a material known for its outstanding durability, water resistance, and breathability. Originally designed as a building material, it’s become a cult favourite in the hiking and outdoor community — and for good reason. It’s tough enough to stand up to rough terrain, sharp sticks, and gritty ground without adding any unnecessary bulk to your gear.
Lightweight, Ultralight, and Just Right
Whether you’re thru-hiking, bikepacking, or heading out for a quick overnighter, weight matters. The DuPont Tyvek Ground Sheet comes in several sizes to suit your setup, with the 90cm x 200cm groundsheet weighing just 115g, and the 137cm x 220cm tent footprint at 190g. Need something custom? We also offer rolls in 270cm and 304.8cm widths, sold per metre — perfect for DIY projects or tailoring your footprint to your exact tent dimensions.
Easy to Use and Cut-to-Size
One of our favourite features? You can easily cut the Tyvek sheet to size without needing to hem or seal the edges. That means zero fraying, zero fuss, and a custom solution in minutes. Whether you're creating a tent footprint, a minimalist bivvy cover, or a gear wrap, it's simple and effective.
A Multi-Purpose Marvel
It’s more than just a tent footprint. We've seen customers use their Tyvek sheets as picnic mats, rain shelters, pack liners, gear protectors, and even DIY tarp shelters. Its water-resistant and abrasion-resistant properties make it a reliable layer of protection in a wide range of outdoor scenarios.
A Word on Comfort
If there’s one thing we always recommend, it’s giving your Tyvek sheet a quick wash before using it for the first time. This softens the material and reduces the signature "crinkly" sound — making your camp setup just a bit more peaceful, especially for light sleepers.
