I have this tent! Love it . Yes the white is different however with muddy boots this doesn’t stain and easily wipes away.The materials are interesting I have the grey inner and brownish coloured floor which is a lot easier on the eye than pure white . The materials are recycled and hence the colour but 1.3 kilo on long day hikes makes the difference ! On a budget. Im local to Dartmoor and for around £160.00 this has proven a great assest to me and two vestibules too, ! The cons would be condensation! Take a cloth with you! And it gets a lot of it inside! But the inner keeps you dry if this does happen. Dont let the colour put you off ! The functionality weighs out this!

@@nymuelovan Not sure if you bought it already, but let me share my experience. I'm 6'3" and used the version with the orange inner of this tent in Norway last summer. Length and width wise, it's awesome. I used a thermarest topo XL, and had about 10 cm / 4" to spare lengthwise. If the foot-end was guyed out, everything was perfectly roomy, especially if you can find a stick to lift the foot-end. But if there were no sticks around, to guy out the foot-end, my feet would touch the inner. And during rainy nights, without going outside to tension everything up again, the outer would sag onto the inner causing a damp foot-end of the sleeping bag. So... I'd say it's almost perfect. If there's no sticks around where you plan to camp, @Kyle W's idea for carrying an extra pole could be worth trying out. Or using a thinner pad.

I have this tent and i have 2,5 down side about her. First, the white, it's hard for me to sleep when the moon is full and I guess it will be hard in the summer with the sun rising early. Second, it's really really wide and take a lot of surface on the ground which can be a downside if you can't find a large place to sleep. And the last 0,5 is that I struggle to really tentions the tent thus inducing a lot of noise during windy night. But that mostly my fault and I need to work on that. For the pro of this tent, it's really easy to pack in the bag, it's really light and i find the price really decent for the quality of the built and the weight.

As expected from Decathlon, it looks like a decent bit of kit at a good price point. The thing I find interesting is the reaction to the colour. Obviously they are aware that the bulk of their customers (French company, so European-centric) will be happy to buy a bright white tent, which reminds me how backward we are in this country to camping anywhere other than the few designated campsites. If being descreet was desirable across their customer base, it wouldn't be white. But I'm rambling...

But then it’s shorter than a Lanshan and also losing a good 10cm headroom. - Why does nobody consider hikers/campers taller than 180cm, the average height of a European male, meaning about half of that population is taller?

@@darrendazzertodd It did happen, I watched it, but it doesn't appear on the relevant feed for whatever reason. My uneducated view is that as long as you're not putting unrealistic expectations on the gear, it will do what it says. I think the best lesson from that is that sometimes, with the best will in the world, shit can happen. Be aware, be prepared. And, most importantly, enjoy.
