Great light weight
Great light weight footprint but MSR needs to do a video or PDF on how to fold it up to fit in the integrated bag.

Works perfectly fine but I
Works perfectly fine but I do wish there were grommets at the corners. I tied knots in the stake cords but the tent poles slip out pretty easily anyways which makes it tough to set up if putting up the fly first

Useless
Useless footprint, no grommets to attach to the tent pole. Useless pocket that can collect water. This one was a total failure.

It's just not very universal.
Pro: Fabric, lightweight. Cons: poor attachment system. Attached envelope is annoying. Frustrated at first with how poorly it fit, but using a short loop of shock cord on each corner, tied through the nearest part of the webbing, not the end, I was able to make it workable. The loops Te held on when the fly is attached. The envelope? I cut it off.

Sub standard. Expeted much better from MSR.
As others have stated. - No grommets for attaching to the poles: tying knots in paracord is hardly an acceptable workaround for a premium tent. - Dimensions not perfectly tailored to specific tent sizes - Built-in pocket makes little sense. This is a minor issue in my opinion. Then again, having to resort to modifying your brand new tent with a pair of scissors just feels wrong. I own a lot of MSR gear and for the first time seriously considered replacing original piece of kit with something from Aliexpress.

Not universal
Echoing the other reviews - this is useless. MSR: bring back the matching footprints for each tent with grommets. We spend hundreds of dollars on a tent and are failed by an I'll decision on the footprint design. People will pay for a footprint to match their tent, so there's no way this is a loss of profit for you to cut corners and not have corresponding footprints. This is absolute garbage MSR.

first, need to cut the pocket (why, you add this !). Second, I was decided to buy it to allow to build the tent under a rainfall keeping me dry. Unfortunately, I needed to find a solution with the small rope. It should be more useful with small ring to insert the tent pole . Third, 200 g for 2P floor. Please, review your article.

Say no to that pocket!
Why the silly pocket ??? Everyone has to cut off, first thing I did. The tie outs not a fan as everyone has mentioned. These are not cheap tents so what’s up with that.

Disappointed
There is no way to attach the footprint to the poles. It can easily blow around in windy conditions when trying to set up the tent. This is really unfortunate if setting up in rainy, windy weather

No real footprint - Generic Suck
MSR really missed the boat here, 1st - adding a pocket onto footprint to store the footprint, that is added weight, I cut mine off. I have always stored my footprint folded dirty end inside and then rolled with tent. 2nd, this leaving out the grommets and using string, garbage. I loved the old footprints and going fly with footprint was so easy, everything clicked right into the grommets and bingo bango all done. Get rid of the generic footprints and bring back the old design, using grommets and no sewn in storage pocket. I have searched to the ends of the internet looking for the holy grail, the Nubba Hubba 2 person original footprint. No such luck.
