Kelty Ridge 2 Footprint - 2008 BCS

This footprint is ok and does its job. First of all, it covers most of the floor of the tent besides the edges which is ok. Second of all, like Michael Wellman said, it has 4 buckles that could in theory be used to pitch the tent lighter using just the fly but they don't match up to the fly. It's annoying and looking back I would have probably just purchased a lightweight tarp and cut my own footprint to also include the vestibules...oh well.

The footprint has 4 female buckles on them that have no purpose because they do not fit any of the male buckles on the tent or fly. It seems that the buckles were put on for a fast fly option but after contacting Kelty, they confessed it was a worthless design. Size and weight were fine. I used an old tarp I had and cut it to fit the footprint and the vestibules. Much better option because it keeps your gear off the ground while under the vestibule. If you make your own be sure to keep it just shy of the actual size so rain doesn't puddle underneath the tent.
