Decathlon Quechua - Arpenaz 5.2 F&B

I'm sceptical about the Air Seconds series, I think it works by pumping air into the tent and this is how it stands. The tent bag is super large and heavy. I would definitely ask someone with experience how it is in practice. Otherwise, I would go with the classical Arpenaz series, which is also cheaper. I got my Arpenaz 5.2 in 2017 for 160 eur new at decathlon and I still use it, that was a hell of a deal ;)!

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!
