The Exped Vela I Footprint is a groundsheet sized to match the 180 × 225 cm floor of the Vela I tent, offering an extra layer of protection against rough terrain and damp ground. It helps keep the tent floor clean and extends its lifespan by shielding it from stones, roots and moisture.
Made from 70 D Taffeta nylon, the footprint is both sturdy and lightweight at just 0.28 kg. Its waterproof finish prevents moisture from seeping up during wet conditions, while the tight weave and reinforced corners stand up to abrasion from rocks and sticks. This balance of durability and low weight means you can pack light without compromising on protection.
The term “70 D” refers to denier, a measure of the thickness of each nylon fiber — higher denier indicates thicker, more durable threads. “Taffeta” describes the plain weave pattern that gives the fabric a smooth yet robust surface. Together, these features ensure the footprint resists tears and handling wear over many trips, with minimal bulk added to your pack.

Take good care of your Exped tent with a matching footprint.
The Vela I Footprint is suitable for the Vela I Extreme tent from Exped. A footprint protects the groundsheet of the inner tent from wear, dirt and moisture.
The footprint has the area of the ground plane of the tent, but 10 cm smaller all around to prevent the rain from accumulating between the footprint and groundsheet of the inner tent.
The footprint continues on site of the entrances to create extra dry space.
A footprint is not necessary but increases the comfort and certainly extends the life of the groundsheet of the inner tent

De footprint loopt door ter plaatse van de ingangen om zo extra droge ruimte te creëren.
Een footprint is niet noodzakelijk maar verhoogt het comfort en verlengt zeker de levensduur van het grondzeil van de binnentent
