Decathlon Quechua - Arpenaz Fresh & Black

We have a Quechua Arpenaz 4.2. It's durable, doesnt flood, doesnt fog, looks good.

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!

Had a 4 man fresh and black tent. At night had to put on layers as cold and slept in until late morning. Such a difference experience compared with previous tents, i wouldn’t go back

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.

Ive always stayed away from blackout tents because of the lack of ventilation. In fact, I've owned a Quecha (sp) before and it was amazing... except it was hot. When you say "great in hot weather," how hot are we talking? When we camp locally, it doesn't get below 70-75 at night. That made my previous pop-up an oven.

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.

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.

Well, I was just wondering if the actual inflatable tents are also good. I have another tent: Quechua Arpenaz 6.3 F&B it's a tad cheaper, but would probably work as well. Might actually go the way of traditionally set up tents and the possibility of quick service.... Thanks!

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

Decathlon tents are solid for the price, but only certain models are really light enough and compact enough for backpacking. The fresh and black tents are good if you have difficulty sleeping, or perhaps you have small kids and need to encourage them to sleep. Personally, they’re not really my thing because I don’t like needing to use my headlamp in the tent in the middle of the day, and I love the feeling of waking up with the sun when camping.
