Disclaimer: I've been using Big Agnes tents for over a decade in a variety of backpacking and camping situations, am very familiar with their design proclivities, and have been a fan of the brand.

I purchased this footprint with the matching tent for multi-day car camping with family members who need to use a cot and CPAP machine at this point in their life. I felt the footprint would be necessary because of the use of the cot and the pressure points it would create with its feet. Despite a pretty rocky / hard-packed ground we had to set up on, we didn't notice any undue wear to the tent bottom / footprint after multiple days of use with the cot / large humans sleeping on said cot. It's identical in construction to other Big Agnes footprints i've purchased, and a good value if you can get it on sale like I did. I always like the high-quality, stitched, drawstring bags the footprints come in, I end up using them for gear organization in my pack after folding the footprint into the tent bag with the tent.

I purchased this model with the footprint for multi-day car camping with family members who need to use a cot and CPAP machine at this point in their life. I wanted something with vestibules and a full fly to be able to use it into the (wet) spring and fall here in WA state. It is spacious enough for two standard cots with an aisle in between to allow for entry/exit. I am 6'2" and can fully stretch out on the tent floor without touching the walls, and being able to stand in the center without stooping much is a comfort. The bucket floor is well stitched, and we experienced no water ingress or moisture build-up despite it raining one of the nights we were out.

Only two detractions identified. The size / design of the tent makes it difficult to assemble with just one person (although I am used to much smaller/shorter tents). The design of the loops at the end of the vestibule in relation to the shape of the hooks on the provided stakes make it very easy for them to slip out unless the stake is inserted into the ground at severe angle that can be difficult to achieve depending on the makeup of the ground. Swapping stakes to ones with a more pronounced hook at the top or changing the webbing loops to cord would solve this, but kind of a bummer this is the setup as-is.
