I got it, it’s really good tent for what it is in my opinion, specially the fresh and black lets you sleep longer and fresher, setting up is really cool, but modern tents also don’t need that long to set up. Only downside is high weight (~4.5 kilos) and big packing size, it’s not for backpacking or bikepacking. It’s free standing but i would fix it with some carabiners, so it won’t fly away ;)
Do you travel by foot or by car? It is a wonderful tent in my experience (dark, roomy enough for one + luggage) but maybe too heavy to lug around on foot.
Currently have this one. Love it other than my cot doesn’t fit. But it’s dark, and warm. I got it for $30USD. I am going to get a bigger tent but it’s not because anything is really wrong with this one. Just need a little more space.
I don't believe that porch is compatible with that 2 second tent—it's already an XL. It's meant for the [2 seconds easy](https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/camping-tent-2-seconds-easy-2-person-freshandblack/_/R-p-308355) which is a much sturdier tent. Personally I would always add at least 1 extra person, if not double the "person capacity" of a tent for comfortable camping—assuming you don't want to put everything in the car or leave it all outside overnight to get damp.
3. A 2man Decathlon Quechua pop up A 3 man reactive outdoor (damn ad got me!) A 3 man Decathlon Quechua Fresh and Black pop up. I use the 2 man pop up for cooler weather as the ventilation isn't that great in still air. It's double lined, with one small vent in back, and a half screen door. I spent a very stuffy Memorial Day weekend in one on the beach. Once the wind died, I was sweating!!! I bought the RO 3 man because it was way more ventilated and open. It's a decent enough tent. I used it on the beach during Tropical Storm Chantal last summer, and it held up fairly well against the squalls. It did leak a tad though, and one of the legs got wonky. I bought the 3 man decathlon because I wanted the best of both worlds. Double lined, but with way more options for airflow as you have 2 side flaps and can pull the back up. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten to try it yet as this year brought me a surprise cancer diagnosis. (All will be well!) But I plan on taking it out in March next year for a good test. I'm a solo camper. Only the dog goes with me 😁
Hey all, I used the quencha pop up orange last year, super easy to set up and waterproof, however, the heat and the light was a killer last year. Thinking of getting a new one and torn between these two. Decathlon, a little bit more expensive but fresh and black. Eurohike, not as black out (which is okay if I can sleep until 7am at least) and it has a porch which could be a game changer to keep the trolley dry if we have a repeat like ‘24. Any recommendations for when it comes to how comfortable they are to sleep in, waterproof, storage etc? Would just be lil 5’1 me in there.
Snag a Decathlon 2 . Don't spend more then 150$ as they were on sale a year ago at my local Walmart. I snagged 3. Gave one away and have one in storage still. Still using the starter one. Fantastic for setting up at night for an easy put up or in the rain . Well worth $100 for the situation and have used mine more times than I can count on my fingers and have lasted festivals and upstate ny rain. Get the one that resembles a tent. Not the circular one when it's folded up. There are some on eBay listed as : DECATHLON tent, 2 second easy waterproof pop up camping tent 2 person, 10 pounds
I have the 2 person popup (not fresh and black) and the Fresh and Black Arpenaz 4.2 4 person tent with 3 rooms. Popup is fine for the odd night, fits into car easily, very very easy to put up and take down. No way can you backpack with it, it’s a huge disc shaped thing. Fresh and Black Arpenaz is a game changer though you wouldn’t want something this big for 1 person. Sitting in it right now. Spacious and airy, and does a really good job of blackout. Would definitely go for that over the basic range.
