Arpenaz 3 Fresh&Black

I usually travel with an older model Decathlon Black & Fresh Arpenaz 3. It weighs about 3.5 kg and packs down into a fairly bulky bag, but I just carry it in one of my rear panniers. I also own a lightweight one-person tent pretty similar to yours, it’s only 900g, which is great, but I really don’t like that it’s single-walled and that I can’t sit up inside. What I love about the Black & Fresh is that, especially in summer, I’m not woken up at 5 a.m. by the sun lighting up the whole tent. It’s definitely heavier, but for me the comfort is totally worth it.

Edit: Just seen someone post the 3 man one, also a very good tent but might be a bit cramped with two of you.

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

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.

I don't have that specific tent, but every single decathlon product I have owned has outperformed my expectations. I have the budget 3 person tent, for my family, and it's lasted 5 years with more life in it. I will be getting one of Decathlons more expensive tents once it breaks.

We picked up the 3 person non-pop up tent today. Had a little more room than the pop up and will be used for scout trips with my wife and kid. Can't speak to it yet but I've heard generally good things about decathlon tents in general

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.
