I can't recommend this one enough, easy to set up, not too big, Plently of room for 2, stays dark in the mornings and cool in the heat.
Edit: Just seen someone post the 3 man one, also a very good tent but might be a bit cramped with two of you.
>Has anyone tried it before?
are you serious? This is basically their best selling tent model.
That being said I'd rather spend a little more and get the 2 seconds easy foldable tent (which is a completely different model than the "2 seconds"). I've got the 2P and 3P size and they're vastly superior compared to the MH100 or 2 seconds pop up tents.
So I have that fresh and black tent and IV used it 3years at download and a separate camping trip..
Download it was just for me and all my gear and it was so spacious.. no bother at all. It also survived the great rain of 24' with absolutly no leaks, and I can actually put it up on my own which is a win!
IV just bought the bigger version for this year because my 6ft 6 partner is coming with me and I wanted to make sure he had ample feet room 😂😂 but I wouldn't buy any other type of tent now.
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.
Thank you all! I went for the fresh and black. 15% off and another 5% with BLC 🥳 decided against the pop up cause they’re a pig to carry when you’re the size of a pixie.
I'm not sure if you've got a Decathlon in your country, but they can help you with this purchase. They even have their "fresh and black" tents which stay cooler when the sun hits the tent (worth gold at a festival, basically everybody has these at festivals in my country).
Apart from that, I'd get a cheap simple tent for a techno festival. Look into getting a 3-person tent to have some room to store clothes inside it if you are with 2 people and get a tarp for some dry-ish cooking space outside ("3-person" means: 3 sleeping mats will barely fit next to each other in the tent with no room to spare). Tarps can be a bit more difficult to set up properly, but easier to carry than a party tent (which would be your other option. The most lightweight option is to just find some people that brought the party tent and make friends with them. Just take some stuff you can trade for a space under the tent.
Actually, thinking about it, just buy food at the place instead of cooking yourself. The festivals I went to hardly required cooking. But I guess that depends on the festival maybe.
OK what festival are you going to? Maybe I can watch some footage and tell you what tents people were using there.

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
