The Nordisk Svalbard 1 PU/SI Footprint is a practical tent groundsheet for those who want to give their Svalbard 1 extra protection against moisture, dirt and wear. The footprint is placed between the tent and the ground and acts as a durable barrier against gravel, roots, twigs, stones and other unevenness.
The groundsheet is custom-made for Svalbard 1 and covers the entire ground surface under the outer tent. This means that you not only protect the inner tent floor, but also get a clean and waterproof surface in the vestibule for shoes, backpacks and other equipment.
The material is made of 70D nylon with a PU coating and has a water column of 10,000 mm . It provides effective protection against ground moisture and helps keep the regular tent floor cleaner during hiking, camping and longer trips.
A footprint is particularly useful with lighter tent floors, as it takes the initial load off the ground. After the trip, the groundsheet can be packed separately if it is wet or dirty, keeping the rest of the tent cleaner in the pack.
By covering the ground underneath the entire flysheet, the footprint can also help to channel ground moisture around the tent structure. This can reduce the amount of moisture that collects under the tent and contribute to a drier and more comfortable sleeping environment.
The Nordisk Svalbard 1 PU/SI Footprint fits both the PU and SI versions of the tent, making it a flexible original accessory for multiple generations and designs of the Svalbard 1.

A footprint creates an extra layer of protection between the tent floor and the ground. It reduces the tent floor's direct contact with moisture, dirt and sharp objects.
The advantages include:
Less wear on the tent floor
Lower risk of holes and punctures
Extra protection on rocky and uneven ground
Cleaner tent when packing up
Dryer storage area in the vestibule
Easier cleaning after the ride
Extra barrier against soil moisture
Potentially longer lifespan of the tent
It is especially useful for frequent camping, longer hikes and tours where it is not always possible to find a soft and even tent site.
Spread the footprint on the chosen tent site before pitching the tent. Align it to the shape of the tent and then place Svalbard 1 on top.
Make sure the groundsheet is completely inside the edges of the flysheet. If the footprint protrudes, rainwater can collect on the material and be channeled under the tent floor.
Set up and anchor the tent according to the tent's standard instructions. Check that the footprint is flat without creases or folded edges.
During heavy rain, you should avoid depressions and other places where water is likely to collect.

For those who want to protect the tent floor and vestibule
The footprint covers the entire ground surface under the outer tent, thus protecting both the area under the inner tent and the ground in the vestibule.
It provides a cleaner surface where you can place:
Shoes and boots
Backpack and storage bags
Kitchen-ware
Water bottles
Hiking poles
Other equipment you don't want to bring into the sleeping area
The footprint also makes it easier to keep the equipment away from mud, moisture and dirt.
Shake off loose soil, sand and other debris after use. Wipe or rinse the surface with clean, lukewarm water if necessary.
Allow the footprint to dry completely before packing it away for longer storage. If stored damp, mold, bad odors and damage to the PU coating may occur.
Avoid:
Washing machine
Dryer
Strong cleaning agents
Solvent
Hard brushes that can damage the coating
Regularly check materials and attachment points. Repair minor damage early to prevent it from becoming larger.
A footprint provides extra protection but does not replace the need to choose a tent site with care. Remove sharp rocks, twigs and pine cones before laying out the ground.
Make sure the footprint does not protrude beyond the edges of the flysheet. Protruding material can trap rainwater and channel it under the tent.
The product consists of only the footprint and packing bag. The tent is sold separately.

A footprint protects the tent floor from ground moisture, dirt, stones and sharp objects. It can reduce wear and tear and extend the life of the tent.
This can help limit the amount of ground moisture reaching the area under the tent, thereby contributing to less condensation. Condensation is also affected by temperature, humidity and ventilation.
No. It should be completely inside the edges of the outer tent so that rainwater does not collect and drain under the tent floor.
No, the product only consists of the footprint and the accompanying packing bag. The tent is sold separately.
