Ask any successful thru-hiker from the Appalachian Trail, TYVEK® is the perfect Tarp or Ground Sheet under your Tent!
Tyvek® HomeWrap® is a moisture and air infiltration barrier made by DuPont used in home building. TYVEK® HomeWrap® is
white in color and has "DuPont Tyvek®" and a phone number printed all
over it. Tyvek® is waterproof , windproof, breathable, very durable
and a extremely lightweight material. Their are several varieties of
Tyvek® and it appears the HomeWrap® version is best suited for
backpacking needs. The other varieties are lighter but not as durable.
I've found TYVEK® to be approx. 1/3 less the
weight of a nylon tarp of equal size. It is just as plyable, after
washing, as nylon and I think, more durable. I've made tarps,
ponchos,stuff sacks and ground covers with TYVEK® Using TYVEK® as a
ground sheet/cover works the BEST! and you can make it any size to fit
your needs, no hemming/stitching needed, just cut to size with ordinary
scissors. The new silnylon is lighter than TYVEK® (slightly) but
TYVEK® is a lot more durable as a ground cover
and also a lot less expensive. A silnylon ground sheet didn't last one
month on the AT while thru-hiking but a TYVEK® Homewrap® ground sheet
went the whole way! It can also be used as ground cover in the outdoors
to lay your mattress and sleeping bag on, keeping them from getting
dirty or muddy from the ground. Some make Tarps out of it. TYVEK®
HomeWrap® will melt like nylon when flames get
too close to it. I wouldn't suggest using a stove while under such a
tarp just as you shouldn't under a tarp of nylon. Tent Ground cloths
made of Tyvek® are more resistant to water, lighter, and easier to
handle and store, than other commonly used ground cloth materials.
It is recommended by Backpacker magazine and many ultra light backpacking web pages as a ground cloth because of the above properties.
All white on one side, printing on other side. You put the printed side down. (printed side shown in picture) On home applications you put the printed side out.
