I have different ground sheets that I like to use for different reasons. This one I like to use in a situation where the weight doesn't mean as much as the durability and convenience. For instance, if I'm paddle boarding, I'm not worried about carrying a lot of weight uphill or anything like that, so I will bring this with me to make sure if I Lay My picnic area down in a wet area, nothing is going to get through and it feels a little more like flooring as opposed to just laying on the rough ground and feeling every Rock and bump. The colors also really nice. All in all I really love it.
