Decathlon Quechua - Arpenaz 3 Fresh&Black

This was my first festival, I got a Quechua Arpenaz 3XL fresh & black tent from Marketplace months ago for £50, I genuinely don’t know if we’d have survived without it. We do camping regularly, we just use a regular tent (not f&b) and I’m always freezing cold at night, sweating in the morning, and awake at 5am with the sun. The f&b meant I could sleep comfortably with just a sleeping bag (didn’t need to overpack blankets and coats), kept cool in the morning, and was able to sleep until 9am and it was still dark inside. It’s an absolute game changer. The only thing I’d change next time is getting a tent that we can stand in and that has a living room area, like our regular tent. 100% worth the money to get a fresh and black.

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.

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.

I have decathlon fresh&black tents and they are the best, you can sleep around 2 hours longer when the sun comes out and they are relatively cheap while beeing of decent quality. I don't know if you can get them in the states though.

Can concur the fresh&black line with blackout lining is awesome for camping. Have now owned 4 of their tents and they're incredible value for those price points. If you're starting off building up your own camping gear you wont go wrong with their stuff.

Get a Fresh and Black from Decathlon and call it a day. It’s by far the most acclaimed series of tents on here.

Yes! I’ve had my Fresh&Black tent for over three years and I go camping about 30 nights per year. It’s still like new. They’re very cheap, too.

I went with the F&B this year and it was actually too good. It was so dark that when I went to bed at 8am I ended up waking up at 17:00 and missing my favourite sets. Was gutted, will be returning it. 10/10 for sleep, 0/10 for self control

Have had the standard Quechua blackout and it has honestly been great. You aren't roasting at 9am scrambling to get out the tent.  A 3 man for one person will be absolutely fine. We are a couple and have the 3 man and are looking for a slightly bigger tent now (it is doable but theres basically no space if its two people plus bags) and will likely just stick with the same brand just in a bigger size. It isn't super light but to be honest at this stage I'd rather take the better tent that I can actually get a bit of rest in and deal with the carrying than get a lighter non blackout tent I can't stand being in. Worried about the weight of the bigger one but think it will be a better experience!
