Its to protect the built in groundsheet
Allegedly .... If any stones are about this will take the damage rather then the built in one
Not sure if it does but I have one and so far no issues

Re the Footprint
The protecting of the built in groundsheet against damage against sharp stones is not really the best benefit as its very marginal IMO
BUT if you DONT use a foot print and the ground is wet and muddy
when you pack up you will have only 2 options either roll the built in covered in mud groundsheet up all in with the bivvy and dump it in the bag
OR unzip it and pack it separately in another bag ? ((If it unzips ?? ))
both options are rubbish IMHO so it makes a footprint in my eyes an essential item
and the footprints are normally cut to the exact size so if its raining it wont channel water underneath between them as a larger groundsheet would

That's interesting as it's lots cheaper than the kampa one was

Looking at the dimensions it would appear the TFG one is a little bigger so would have though it would be a little baggy.

Gerry.. You cant see the under sheet when its fitted. Well maybe the odd edge. the fitted groundsheet is 100% waterproof and a thick heavily coated rubber like one. the only purpose of it is so that if the ground is sodden and muddy you whack it under before setting up and this gets filthy instead of the actual bivvy. Its a system that has worked very well for me on my syndicate which has no pegs as such, just grass banks. When I pack up I fold the under sheet up and stick in a carrier bag and rinse it off with a hose and dry it off outside before packing it back into my gleamingly clean bivvy bag.
Its a barrier against mud, not stones or damage.
