OUR COMMITMENT TO CONSUME LESS WATER WITH THIS PRODUCT

  • We've improved this product through an eco-design procedure for the colouring processes for materials, using the "dope-dyed" technique.
  • Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce our environmental impact, we use a mass pigmentation process that involves adding the colour pigments when the yarn itself is produced. We used this process for this product (reference: 8572950).

Living Room and Bedroom

  • 5.9 sqm living room with an inner tent height of 1.95 m.
  • This tent has several features:
  • - A floor mat with a zipper that can be lifted at the entrance in case of rain
  • - Screen windows with shuttert
  • - Storage pouches in the bedrooms and living room
  • Each room in this tent is designed to accommodate a maximum of two 70cm-wide mattresses.

Pitching and dismantling

  • Inflatable all-in-one structure with pre-assembled bedrooms and flysheet.
  • Using our Quechua 5.2 litre red pump with built-in pressure gauge, we recommend that you inflate the tubes to 7 PSI of pressure.
  • To view this pump, copy the reference 8243066 and paste it into the search engine of our website.PUMP NOT INCLUDED
  • To make it easier, we recommend that 2 people pitch the tent, although 1 person can manage.

Fresh & Black technology for a cooler, darker tent:

  • Cooler and darker for better sleep!
  • Fresh & Black is a technology patented by Decathlon that reflects the sun's rays and insulate the light through specific materials.
  • This reduces the sensation of heat in the tent and makes it darker.
  • To get the most out of this technology, don't forget to ventilate your tent at night!

Sun protection

  • Our Fresh&Black technology relies on a UPF 50+ sun protection fabric.
  • Caution: be careful, as a large amount of UV rays can get in through a simple open door.

Ventilation

The ventilated flysheet on the living area airs the room and reduces condensation inside your tent. Outside each bedroom is a high ventilation hatch. Inside each bedroom is a large, low ventilation hatch. The living room comes with a mosquito net and the bedrooms have mosquito nets on the top and bottom.

Wind resistant

  • We test all our tents in a wind tunnel on a turntable. The aim is to expose each side of our tent to the same wind intensity.
  • Properly pitched, with the guy ropes deployed, this tent remains habitable in wind speed 7, measured at 60 km/h.
  • Feel free to re-inflate your inflatable poles regularly during your stay at the campsite (7 Psi).

Waterproof and taped seams

We test our tents to validate their waterproofing. The first test is done in the laboratory, 3 hours under 200 litres of water per hour per sqm, the equivalent of tropical rain of 200 mm per hour. The second test is done in the field under real-life conditions by our teams. This tent is fitted with a polyurethane-coated polyester flysheet measuring 2,000 mm. It also has seams taped using heat-sealed strips and a 190 g/sqm polyethylene groundsheet.

Repair

As designers and users who love nature, we care about the durability of our products. That's why all our tents are designed to be repairable. Spare parts and repairs for inflatable hoops are available at the workshop of your Decathlon store or on our website.

Poles and tent pegs

  • Inflatable poles - All our inflatable poles have a two-layer arch structure: a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) air chamber and a 600-denier polyester cover*.
  • Living room reinforcement - There's an aluminium bar in the living room to stiffen the structure.
  • Tent pegs - All our pegs are made of steel and have a diameter of 6 mm.
  • 4 ground pegs are included.
  • *600 denier indicates a weight of 600 g for 9 m length.

Maintenance advice

Our camping tents have been designed for occasional outdoor use (4 weeks per year) when camping or in the great outdoors. Continued exposure to UV rays over several weeks can damage the fabric. These products are not classified as “garden furniture” and aren’t designed to be left outdoors permanently. To guarantee maximum durability of your tent, it's important to store it when not in use.
