How heavy should a backpacking footprint be?

Reviewer consensus

For a fitted 2–3 person backpacking footprint, anything under 10 ounces is competitive. The North Face Stormbreak 3 footprint is listed at 9 oz on REI, which reviewers note is acceptable for a coated-fabric footprint, though dedicated ultralighters will still cut their own polycro at a fraction of the weight.
