Quechua 3 Man Blackout Tent

First night camping?
Our designers developed this 3-person Fresh&Black tent that is simple and easy to pitch.To provide more comfort when sleeping by maintaining a cool and dark inside. Thanks to its free-standing dome structure, it can be moved to a better location after it has been deployed.

The Fresh & Black technology keeps the inside of your tent cooler and darker

Cooler and darker for better sleep!
Fresh & Black is a technology patented by Decathlon that allows us to reflect the sun’s rays and insulate from the light thanks to 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!

Pitching and striking the tent

This tent has a classic dome structure.
All you have to do is fit the tent poles with the bedroom, followed by the upper tent pole, and finish by fitting the flysheet on the top.
To strike the tent, the process is the same, but in reverse.

Mattress compatibility

Recommended tent with a self-inflating mattress or trekking mattress up to 65 cm wide.
We do not recommend using inflatable mattresses, that are more than 8 cm thick, in this tent.
Indeed, this greatly reduces the volume inside the tent and increases condensation inside.

Ventilation of the tent

So that air can flow and be replaced between the bedroom and the flysheet, and eliminate the natural condensation as much as possible, the tent has 2 air vents at the top and 2 mechanical air vents at the sides.

Waterproofing of the tent

All our tents are validated in the laboratory and in the field to guarantee the waterproofing.
To do this, we put the entire tent under a 200 L/h shower for 3 hours.
The flysheet is made of 2000mm Schmerber PU-coated polyester and the groundsheet is made of 120g/m² polyethylene. All the seams are sealed with thermobonded tape

Wind resistance

We test all our tents in a wind tunnel on a turntable to expose each side to the wind. A well-assembled tent with all the guy ropes properly deployed around the tent should remain habitable with a wind speed measured at 40 km/h near the ground (Force 5).

Don’t throw away, repair!

Our tents are great for camping at night.
Over time, they age and some parts may wear out or break.
To facilitate repairs, we keep a stock of parts (tent poles, flysheets, bedrooms, etc.) so that they can be easily replaced. Don’t throw away, repair !
