How did XFOIL come about?
As an enthusiastic long-distance hiker with a passion for ultralight trekking and ultralight equipment, I know the challenging requirements of this hobby all too well. Every single gram counts when you cover long distances and want to enjoy untouched nature in all its glory. As long-distance hikers, we often resort to ultralight tents and tarps to intensify the feeling of freedom, lightness and closeness to nature. In my many years of experience as a hiker and tinkerer of my own equipment, I have tried numerous materials to find the optimal materials, including for use as a groundsheet or tarp. I tried building foil, roof foil, or a conventional groundsheet when camping, but also specialized products such as Polycro / Polycro Groundsheets or Tyvek Hardstructure. There are also those who used used tent groundsheets to save costs or resorted to camping pads from Decathlon. But many of these solutions turned out to be either too heavy, not sufficiently durable or they did not offer the desired protection. My professional work in the industry gave me the insight and resources to find the ideal material. After many trials, the result is finally XFOIL. This particular foil is not only ultralight and waterproof, but also extremely versatile. It is great for DIY or MYOG projects - be it as a tarp, tarptent, rain cape, poncho or even a stuff sack. Thanks to its light weight and flexibility, it is probably the best option for long-distance hikers and adventurers. XFOIL is more than just a response to the needs of ultralight hikers - it is the result of my personal journey and passion. A product developed by a hiker for hikers. Not only does it protect against moisture and cold from below, it also reduces the overall weight of your gear without compromising on performance. This transparent foil is even - as one tester showed - great for transparent tents that offer an unparalleled view of the starry sky. For those who live the ultralight trekking lifestyle and are constantly looking for ways to optimize their equipment, XFOIL is indispensable. This product is not only extremely practical, but also proof that comfort and lightness can go hand in hand. Unleash your creativity and use XFOIL for your individual projects and requirements. However, the use of XFOIL goes far beyond conventional tent footprints. It also serves as a reliable ground sheet or protective tarpaulin under the tent to protect the tent, sleeping pad or sleeping bag from abrasion and moisture. With its low weight, it is the perfect addition for all those looking for lightweight equipment. P. S.: We are not going to address the question of when a tent footprint is ultralight here ;)
