In this video I demonstrate the capacity of the vestibule, look at all the pocket storage and a potential downside to this tent. Credits: Brandon (thanks bro 😎)
Thanks for the review, 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. I see in your previous video that it rained 'a little' (wow, you have big raindrops in South Africa)... if you get the footprint, you can set it up as a free standing outer first, then clip in the inner later. Its strange as its always sold out here in the UK, but only you and one other review on RU-vid (that I can find anyway) and still only for the 1 man version... Thanks again, keep on enjoying your adventures 👍
I spent ages looking for a tent that I felt was good value. I then discovered the trek 900 and started looking for English reviews, or like you say reviews other than just the decathlon video, and didn’t manage to find any (maybe I didn’t look hard enough). So I bought it because it seemed to be what I was looking for and already decided that I would try my best to fill in that gap on YT.
I Popped into decathlon in Bangkok for some lifting gloves and I walked out with a new tent. didn't look at any review just liked how it looked on the display. I put it up in my house and I'm super impressed with the tent. Decided to watch some reviews and found yours. Thanks for making the video & showing me the two extra pockets on the roof of the tent as I didn't notice them.
Thank you. Considering the tent, and I think I'll go for it after watching your 2 reviews. Looking for a tent for bike packing, and this looks perfect.
Great review Paul. I'm also from South Africa I'm based in Belgium now, if you ever feel like trekking in the Ardennes or bikebacking in Belgium your welcome to contact me.
Really good Paul - another insightful look at the tent. The vestibule space is a winner as are them high pockets for a light maybe as stated. I didn't realize you were in the UK. In fact you're not far from me. I'm in Hereford. Well, all the best to you. Mark
Hi Ian. I don’t suppose you still have the footprints? They’re out of stock until the end of September and I’m hiking the west highland way early September. Thanks!
Can you put stuff on the other side of the vestibule which doesn’t seem to have any door on the inner and outer? Able to remove the stake to access easily? Thank you!
