Decathlon Quechua - 2 Second Fresh&Black

I have the 2 seconds 3 - it was able to fit 2 adults, a 10 year old and dog with one backpack. I’m a huge fan especially in colder environments, it does not rise high up which is great for retaining heat. I do not camp in snow or very cold, but in 30-35f it does a great job. On the flip side I found it unbearable in Texas in September one time, very little breeze through. Easy to take out and put away.

From what you’re saying, I think you’ve made a great call going for a lighter sleeping tent plus a small popup just for gear, those big “festival palaces” look cool but get so heavy and awkward, especially by train. If you haven’t bought yet, I’d recommend looking for a 2-person tent that has a decent vestibule (for shoes/bags) and is double-layered for better airflow/venting. Quechua 2 Seconds Fresh & Black is a good options of this use case imo.

Save yourself the hassle and buy this: https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/camping-tent-2-seconds-xl-3-person-fresh-and-black/_/R-p-172537 Pain in the arse to put away but the time saved not dicking around with tent poles makes it worth it, used mine for 4 ish years now and I swear by it

Not a fan of that tent design. By necessity of its design the poles are thin and flexible (so it can fold in on itself for breakdown) meaning even in light winds it can bwnd and fold on itself. A moderate or heavy wind would blow the outer walls straight into you. If you only ever plan to use in ideal conditions it may be ok though. The one you linked isn't large enough to stand up in, I know that was one of my SOs requirements to go camping, not sure about yours. Dark fabric for blocking sun is becoming more popular, personally I like more mesh for airflow but I have mostly previously camped in hotter areas (recently moved to a colder climate so learning new things lol) If it looks like it fits your needs and will be sufficient for the conditions and is in budget then sounds like it should work!

Absolutely stick with the 3 man you’ve got. I saw several dozen Quechua fresh and black tents (as well as my own). I feel like that speaks for itself.

The Decathlon Black and Fresh tents are really good if you don’t want to be woken up by the sun. I have the 3 person version and recently packed without issues on my rack, but definitely too big to fork mount. I’ve borrowed the Grand Canyon Richmond 1 from a friend and that was a easy fork mount.  With the things you’re looking for the MH100 checks all the boxes, but you’ll probably need to rethink the packing a bit.

Quechua 3 man F&B, non XL version. Perfect size for me and my stuff, didn’t wake up from the heat once, was bliss. Got mine for around £50

Same, 3man Quechua Fresh and Black. Absolute God send. I'm not sure quite how well it'd do in torrential rain but it's definitely a big bonus when it's hot.

"Quechua 2 seconds" Its name is program.

This is your answer OP. I’ve owned 5 different Quechua tents as I take groups out camping for fun. The 2 second tent is fine for light car camping but would be disastrously cumbersome for any kind of backpacking.
