I have enough tents

But that doesn't stop me from looking!

This is kind of interesting from Decathlon, and wondering if anyone has been game to buy/try one.

It kinda reminds me of a cross between a Scarp 1 and a trekking pole tent. The weight isn't bad for a two person tent.

Design is reasonable. Not sure about the materials.

Looks ok, and the product information is kind of reassuring.

I love the franglais though:

So, your tent isn't meant to stink like a dead fish?
I mean I was hesitant at first, but packed a nice can each trip, and haven't looked back.
It is a bit hard to drive the buggers into the ground, I will admit.

decathlon gear is generally pretty good, except in Australia they kinda over charge you by a lot. My friend had and still has essentially the 1 person version of that tent if not a bit heavier as it was a full fledged tent. when he bought it he payed around 200, when i looked it cost about 500. the other thing is that although they are pretty good they can get damaged pretty easily. in the 3ish years he has it has failed at least twice. both times i think as a pole broke and punctured the external layer.
but overall go for it, They make quite good things.
