Architecture, tent poles, and tent pegs.

Extremely quick pitching/taking down. The flysheet and bedroom are pre-assembled. You then need to insert the tent pole into the sleeves of the flysheet (colour code). It is also quick to take down.
To store the tent in its bag, just fold it until it is as wide as the bag, fold up the poles into a bundle, place them on the bedroom or the flysheet, and roll everything into a small bundle to fit it all in the bag.

Pitching/taking down

Forclaz tents are laboratory-tested: pitched tent, 200 litres/m²/hour (4 hours, equivalent to a tropical storm). They are also tested in the field by a sample user group.
75-denier polyester flysheet, polyurethane-coated (interior), water-repellent treatment (exterior), P75D groundsheet in the bedroom.
Seams taped with heat-sealed strips.
Multi-component bedroom (P66D) that is breathable, provides protection from the wind, and reduces condensation.

Waterproofing

All our tents are tested in a wind tunnel on a rotating plate to expose them on all sides.
To test its wind resistance, the tent must be properly pitched, taut but not stretched, with all the guy ropes in position around the tent. It should remain habitable at wind speeds of 70 km/h, measured near ground level.
Our tents are certified by the CSTB independent laboratory in Nantes, France.

Bedroom with mosquito screen for ventilation and water-repellent fabric to protect from condensation and drafts. Large vent at front of tent and additional vent at feet end.
The tent must be properly pitched and the fabric taut but not overstretched to reduce condensation inside. Vents and good airflow help reduce humidity inside your tent.


Ventilation and condensation

As designers and users who love the only playground we have—the planet—we care about the durability of our products. That is why all our tents are designed to be repairable. You can find the detachable parts (poles, bedroom, etc.) in stores, in the workshop of your local Decathlon, or at decathlon.ca.

Repair kit (ferrule, patch): 20 g

Repairs and after-sales service

Three-season tent: your tent will protect you from the harsh weather conditions you may encounter in the spring, summer, or fall. It will withstand light snowfall but is not designed to withstand heavy loads that would weigh down the structure.
In the event of snow, shake your tent regularly to remove any snow that has accumulated and avoid putting too much weight on the structure of your tent.
