1 Reviews of the Arpenaz 4.1 Fresh and Black

By: Number1barber Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2021 Rating: 9 from 10

I recently bought the Arpenaz 4.1 fresh and black for Ł200 from decathlon. Next had it for Ł167 but with 5 day delivery. The tent was used last week in the cold on a windy day.

SETUP

Despite the size the tent is a lot quicker to setup than most smaller dome tents. The poles are thicker than small dome tents and the sleeves are bigger as the poles have a gap when they are installed. All three pole push straight through with ease. The sleeves are not the whole width of the tent making install even quicker as towards the sides straps clip on instead. My small dome tent around would take 15 minutes to setup 10 of which was getting the poles through. Once unrolled and unfolded you can install the rear 3 pegs install the poles and pull the tent up from the front. The bedroom and groundsheet are already clipped in so once up its ready to go. Due to the size if putting it up during wind you need to weight this down and peg the back asap

BLACKOUT

Decathlon claims 99% blackout. This is achieved by the blackout bedroom and the rear tent having an extra layer to make it darker. The first morning I could see through the front of the bedroom into the living room and the bedroom was dark enough to sleep however it wasn't the pitch black I expected I was disappointed and was thinking of returning it until I opened the bedroom door and was blinded by the brightness of the living room. The exterior of the tent is mostly white and added to the second layer at the back I have no doubt this will stay cooler in the summer.

PACKSIZE

The pack is 5cm wider than my crawl in 4 man dome tent and 4kg heavier. The bag is loose fit making packing away easier. To pack it up if you stand on one side. The front end folds towards the middle sleeve then the back towards the middle then you fold it in half and roll it along it width as tight as possible. Laying the bag along the tent gives you an idea how many times it must be folded before rolling

Pros

A great price for a walk in blackout tent.

Nice large living room area for gear or friends

Very solid tent held up well pitched side on to wind

Very easy to install the poles

Spare pole section and tent repair in the bag

Everything is clipped in just unroll and setup

Blackout bedroom is great

Groundsheet peg straps are adjustable allowing to to tighten after

Rear moon window at bottom of the bedroom back to access rear strap and pull the back of the tent up for good ventilation

Storage pockets throughout

Oversized carry bag

Pack size is good for the large tent size

Top vents

CONS

Bedroom is not 99% blackout but it is dark

Bucket groundsheet is clipped in not fixed in whilst that means it could be replaced it doesn't give you a sealed tent so bugs can come in

No mesh door on the front or the bedroom which is a shame because on hot days with the rear vent up a mesh front door would give great airflow
