After a 3 weeks of ownership and a few nights of wild camping, I wanted to share my overall review on this ultralight tent from Decathlon. (Hopefully after 2-3 months we can share a more long term review.)
In this review, I do compare this tent to my old trusty 4 year old R.E.I Passage 1 tent. Which hopefully gives a better impression of the Forclaz Trek 900 materials, and it's overall design.
I want to note that even though this is rated as a 3 season tent, it did a good job of trapping heat inside the room of the tent.

Thanks for the overview, I've got the 2 man version, it's worth the extra money and bit more weight, it's like a palace in there - 2 doors, 2 vestibules, one for my kit the other for my Brompton. I have been waiting over a year for someone to actually do a review of one of these tents 'in the field', not just a Decathlon video. If you buy the extra footprint, you can set it up freestanding outer-first, then clip the inner in afterwards thats why they call it semi-freestanding, you need the NOT included footprint (more money, more weight). The pegs are OK, you just need to angle them better - 45 - 60 degrees for security (the hole in the top is for you to add small cord to, to help in removal). A couple of Delta pegs in your kit will always help, it would seem almost everyone swaps their pegs out for their preferred style and material anyway. Its always sold out here in the UK, so it would seem popular, but strangely there aren't any reviews for it anywhere on KZread... (as of March 2021). Looks like a beautiful place to live and camp, thanks again.
for a guy with bulging discs and lower back issues this tent made camping possible again for me, 1.3 kg is the best part of it
Thanks for this video! Might get this when I need a one person tent for myself.
Many thanks for this review! I resigned buying 3P version because of this thin materials! You helped me a lot :)
I have this tent, I used it during the last summer here in Sweden and I like it. It's light but wouldn't say it's ultralight. Found the interior a bit small for me (I'm 1,79m) but not too bad. I'll use it again during this summer.
thanks for the detailed reviews.
Good honest review....and a nice guitalele at the end! 😁 Thanks👍
waiting for Decathlon to get these back in stock, seem like a solid option.
The tent is decent, I used it during a Storm Francis about 35mph winds, it held up
Dude this tent's thin coating can be a life saver under extreme hot over 37°... I can not stand the hot weather and can not sleep at night so this tent could be what I look for. For ppl who have no problem with hot weather I will definitely recommend Ferrino Solo. That s the best I have seen so far...
Thanks for honest and detailed review. It seems to be really good for moderate conditions. Looks like better option than MSR regarding price and than my Fjord Nansen ultralight tent (Tromvik) that I'm not satisfied with. Anyway great thanks once again!
If you compare sawaj 3 ultralight? Which you prefer?
Please, do a review of your older tent :)
I've used mine now for a year on a few overnight fastpacking trips. I'm 180 cm and I have room at the head and by my feet when I use my decathlon or Nemo mat. Not sure how at 173 you have no room.
I juts bought this tent, to use during my hike of the South Downs Way. So far, only spent one night in it (to test it out).
Thank you for the review, I was considering this tent due to it's availability and budget price. Could be a bit tight for my height (182cm) .
It appears to be a clone of the MSR Freelite 1p, at practically one third of the price. The material is similar to that used by MSR. Knowing Decathlon, it is a very good buy.
Hey, thank you for your video. I've been following you for years. I'm a bike tourer also and I live in France (though I'm American). Also, I love Decathlon. Most of my bike touring and hiking gear is from there. If you don't mind my asking, what are you doing in France?
This tent is awesome. Just needs pitching properly and it’s really solid in the wind.
On most tents I twist the peg once or twice it helps stop it coming out of the loop, (as in once it’s in the loop twist clockwise) attach a little paracord to the thick ribbon peg out points. How did this hold up over time? It’s £160 now my only other options are Alpkit soloist mostly good but badly designed door, or Naturehike.
