I carry a roll of this stuff at the bottom of my bag

A 180 x 30 cm length only weighs 125 gm and is very effective at stopping the overnight face plant into the wall of your tent.

If you take a roll with you but reduce the amount of chocolate you carry by just 5% there would be no increase in the overall weight of your pack.....

Hi
I use a piece of the material used to make sails for racing yachts. Very light and tough. It goes between the tent and Scotland with the hope it will protect my cheap tent. It also provides a table cloth to cook & eat on. So far it has worked. Also it is Bright Orange so I can use it to attract attention if needed - which I hope I never will. Cost was Zero as it was an off cut from the sail makers.

Bought a Sol - Survive outdoors longer - last week to try as an alternative to my silver reflective foil blanket. I like it. Certainly it is stronger, and feels more substantial. It’s 20g heavier than my foil sheet, but on first impressions 20 g is worth it.
The size at roughly 5 ft x 8 ft is ideal for the porch of the trookstar. Let’s see how it lasts over two weeks in Scotland acting also as a rain kilt and picnic mat.

I've bought a Tyvek sheet that I will cut to size as soon as I put up my tent and I can measure properly. So not sure yet how much it weighs.

Well, for what it's worth, in quite a few crossings I have never used anything under the tent inner. Actually, never ever on any tent. And never needed.
If on the other hand it is to use in a porch area, then that it totally different with a larger porch. And the double glazing film is super light and more than adequate.
If you are worried about a puncture leak, take some TENACIOUS TAPE. It is mighty stuff, and actually sticks to sil Nylon, unlike Duck Tape that is useless.

I use a ground sheet from Home bargains, £1,99 well worth the weight which is not much,👍
