I have the 2 person popup (not fresh and black) and the Fresh and Black Arpenaz 4.2 4 person tent with 3 rooms.
Popup is fine for the odd night, fits into car easily, very very easy to put up and take down. No way can you backpack with it, it’s a huge disc shaped thing.
Fresh and Black Arpenaz is a game changer though you wouldn’t want something this big for 1 person. Sitting in it right now. Spacious and airy, and does a really good job of blackout. Would definitely go for that over the basic range.
Chance of rain for me means a larger tent with a living area where you can sit at a table and even cook in.
Decathlon Arpenaz 4.1 F&B would be a great option. Afordable too and Decathlon has been making family tents for ages and I always found them excellent. They have a more expensive inflatable version but I really don't see the point of those.
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.

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