Decathlon Forclaz MT900 Tent

Decathlon’s in-house camping brand, Forclaz may not be the first company to spring to mind when you’re considering a new ultralight tent.

Decathlon Forclaz MT900 tent

This 1-person backpacking tent has serious credentials, at least if its specs are to be believed. First up, and perhaps most importantly, the MT900 tips the scales at 1.3kg including pegs and poles. This is excellent for a twin skin 3-season backpacking tent and is only rivalled at this price point by the Alpkit Soloist, and some other trekking pole or single skin tents.

To get a similar design, structure and weight elsewhere you’re looking at spending upwards of £300. On a recent wild camping trip to Scotland, we had the opportunity to directly compare the MT900 to some of these more expensive tents, including a Big Agnes Fly Creek, MSR Freelite , and Vaude Hogan SUL .

In comparison to these tents, the Forclaz M900 features a similar design makeup, with the popular semi free-standing Y-pole dome structure propping up the fly. The MT900 feels as robust as the others, withstanding typical Scottish weather of heavy rain and winds.

The MT900 also compares favourably in the important flysheet (20D) and floor (40D) fabrics, which manage a decent (for ultralight tents at least) 2k waterproofing on the fly and 3k in the floor. Adjustable ventilation panels in the fly bring airflow into the tent through large mesh panels covering the top half of the inner. We were pleased to see that unlike the MSR Freelite the mesh does not extend below the height of a sleeping body, ensuring that wind whipping through the tent at night doesn’t pass directly over your body.

Space inside is a little cramped, with a tapered mummy shape offering 60cm at the head, 70cm at the pelvis and 50cm at the feet. This is optimally efficient in terms of weight and pack size, but it’s worth noting that the MT900 is more cramped inside than the other tents mentioned.

Forclaz MT900 inside

Despite the MT900 having a less than generous sleeping space, the vestibule is large and incredibly useful. It features a generous bathtub floor section for storing bags off wet ground. Whilst this is a really excellent addition, we can’t help thinking that the weight of the groundsheet could have been put to better use making the inner slightly wider.

When comparing the MT900 to much more expensive tents, retailing at around three times the price, you will, of course notice a difference in quality. Things like stitching, zips, hooks, and straps are all built to a lesser degree of perfection. That’s not to say the MT900 is likely to fall apart, and if it does it comes with a 5-year warranty. You should manage your expectations according to your budget though, and accept that the MT900 may be put together in a more haphazard way than some of the more expensive ultralight tents on the market.

As a combination of weight, pack size, sleeping, and storage space the MT900 is practically unrivalled. This makes it an absolute bargain in our eyes. We applaud Decathlon/Forclaz for offering such an accessible entry into the exotic, and usually very expensive ultralight camping gear market and reckon that you should put the MT900 tent on your ultralight list.

With its Y-shaped structure, it offers optimal and functional space: 3 pockets, 1 door and 1 protected apse for your backpack up to 50-70L. Flysheet and bedroom s by s.

  • Easy transport: Total weight 1.3 kg Compact & compressible cover 4.2 L Dimensions 39 x11 x10 cm.
  • Habitability: Width 60 cm per person. Room height 95 cm. 1 door 1 apse 3 pockets.
  • Wind resistance: Wind resistance 60 km / h (force 7): valid in a wind tunnel on a turntable.
  • Easy assembly / assembly: Semi-self-supporting Y-shaped structure Double roof & chambers by s1 arch.
  • Imperm abilit: Water column (schmerber): Flysheet> 2000 mm Room floor mats> 3000 mm.
  • Eco-design: Anodized arches with a reduced environmental impact. Non anodized sardines are ..
  • Reduction of heat: Flysheet. Door with mosquito net. 2 large top vents.
  • Total weight 1.3 kg

Dimensions and weight, fold dimensions :

  • Similar elements to share the portage.
  • 365 g flysheet
  • 290 g hoop kit
  • Sardines (10 pieces) 100 g
  • Covers 45 g + 12 g
  • Guy lines 18 g
  • Repair kit (ferrule, patch) 20 g

To protect your product and strengthen your protection of the ground and the weather, you can complete your Trek 900 1P tent with the ground carpet reference: 8545723 (150 g). Weights, volumes & dimensions may vary slightly due to production tolerances.

Dimensions and habitability :

  • Chamber length 210 cm
  • Chamber width 60 cm at the head, 70 at the basin and 50 cm at the feet.
  • Room height 95 cm
  • Total height 110 cm
  • The side apse, which is approximately 70 cm wide, is protected by an integrated carpet, which protects your equipment from the ground and the elements. This allows a storage space, which can accommodate 1 backpack up to about 70 liters.
  • 3 pockets (1 head and 2 summits) for storing and organizing your belongings.
  • 1 hook & loop for ropes.

Architecture, arches and sardines :

  • Aluminum roll bar light & resistant to breakage and frost: aluminum 7001 T6 Yunan SD70PF 8.3 mm.
  • Optimized square sardines: "anvil" head, extra body, which makes them very resistant and light (7075 T6 aluminum). Not anodized for limited environmental impact.
  • Simple Y shape: the main arch divides into 3 feet to allow almost self-supporting structure. A summit arch brings volume and therefore habitability.

Assembly / assembly :

  • The flysheet and the bedroom are separate. Assembly is therefore done in a traditional way: the room, placed on the floor, is clipped onto the arches. We then come to cover the whole with the flysheet. Adjust the tensions.
  • If necessary, the room can be dismantled from the inside.
  • A color code on the hoop, the room and the flysheet allows an intuitive assembly.
  • In case of rain, to mount the flysheet first, you will need the compatible floor mat (ref 8545723).

Imperm abilit :

  • Forclaz tents are validated in the laboratory: pitched tent, 200 liters / meter / hour (4 hours, the equivalent of tropical rain). They are also tested by a panel of users in the field.
  • 20 denier polyester flysheet (PES) and 40D polyamide (PA) floor mats are in coated polyurethane (inside) and silicone (outside).
  • Taped seams with iron-on strips.
  • Multi-component chamber combining breathability, wind protection and limitation of condensation.

Wind resistance :

  • Are tested, all tents in a wind tunnel, in a wind tunnel on a turntable, to expose each side of the tent to the wind.
  • In order to guarantee its resistance to wind, the tent must be well pitched, stretched without excess, with all the shrouds well deployed around the tent. Thus it will remain habitable with a wind speed measured at 60 km / h near the ground.
  • Our tents are certified by the independent laboratory during CSTB Nantes.

Ventilation and condensation limitation :

  • Room in mosquito net for ventilation and in water-repellent fabric to protect from condensation and drafts. There are 2 large top vents, which you can close using a scratch.
  • In order to limit condensation inside the tent, it must be properly pitched, canvas stretched, without excess. Double-slider zips on the door to keep it open. The use of ventilation and good air circulation limit the humidity inside.
  • 3 season tent: your tent will protect you from the difficult weather conditions that you would encounter in spring, summer or fall. It will support small snowfall but is not designed to withstand large loads that could be on the structure.
  • In the event of snow, remember to regularly shake your tent in order to make the accumulation of snow fall on the ground and to avoid putting too much weight on the structure of your tent.

Eco design tent :

  • The arch is colored thanks to an innovative anodization which eliminates the use of nitric and phosphoric acids.
  • Your sardines can have a "raw" or "used" appearance but they retain all their technical characteristics and resistance; they are non-colored because not anodized (no use of acid which only has an aesthetic interest).
  • These actions help limit the environmental impact of your product.

R parabilit et sav :

  • As designers and practitioners who love our playground, we care about the durability of our products, which is why all our tents are designed to be repairable.
  • You will find the pieces of tach es (arches, room, ...) on the shelf or in the workshop of your Decathlon store, on decathlon.fr or the address support.decathlon.fr
  • In the event of a problem, do not hesitate to have your tent examined at your Decathlon store.
  • Repair kit (ferrule, patch): 20 g.

Guarantee :

  • All our tents are repairable.
  • Parts and information in store or on decathlon.fr.

Trekking tent Forclaz Trek 900 Test & Experiences – Does the Ultralight tent prove itself on the Bikepacking Trans Germany?

One of the currently cheapest Ultralight tents is offered by Decathlon. We’re talking about the Trekking tent Trekking tent Trek 900 Ultralight* . . The tent is partially freestanding and weighs only about 1.3 kilos when complete. In addition, the tent shines with a particularly small pack size of only 39 × 11 × 10 cm. This makes it a great fit for small backpacks or a bikepacking handlebar roll.

The tent was developed for the three-season use (spring, summer, autumn). One thing in advance: In terms of quality and stability, it seems to be the ideal tent for bikepacking and trekking tours in Central Europe.

The tent is available as:

  • 1 person tent* and also available in sizes as.
  • 2 person tent* and
  • 3 person tent*

I’ve tested the tent extensively and will tell you what I like and don’t like about the Trek 900.

The Forclaz Trek 900 trekking tent is available at Decathlon in the following sizes:

  • 1 person bikepacking tent*
  • 2 person trekking tent*
  • 3 person tent Decathlon Ultralight Tent*

Decathlon Forclaz Trek 900 Highlights

✅ Lightweight & small pack size : The Forcalz Trek 900 has earned the designation ultralight. The complete package weighs just 1.3 kilos. The pack size is very compact at 39 x 11 x 10. This makes the tent ideal for bikepacking, cycling or trekking tours. ✅ Partially self-supporting: For a firm stand and optimal space, the Decathlon Ultralight tent requires 4 pegs in the ground. If necessary, you can also set it up on stone or gravel without pegs and without bracing – more about this in the test. ✅ comfortable space: For an ultralight tent, the space is just right. There is enough space inside for a sleeping pad and a small backpack. You can sit upright in the tent and there is plenty of space in the vestibule. ✅ Low-priced tent: The tent is almost unrivalled in its class! This makes it currently my price-performance recommendation among the TOP tents for bikepacking and for bike trips .

…and much more. I present them to you all the details in this Decathlon Ultralight Tent review.

Forclaz Trek 900 Tent Trekking tent 1 person

Note: I requested a test copy from Decathlon. I was given the Ultralight tent free of charge for a field report. Many thanks to Decathlon for the uncomplicated sending of the Ultralight 1 person tent.

The price of the Trek 900 is also attractive: the ultralight tent costs approx. 130 € at Decathlon. Good ultralight tents can cost three times as much. How will the tent prove itself in practice?

  • How quickly can you set it up and take it down?
  • Is the tent long lasting or do you have to accept sacrifices in quality due to the low price?
  • How stable is it in crosswinds and what does the water column mean in practice?

These questions are answered in the Decathlon Trek 900 test! I packed the Ultralight tent directly into my bikepacking handlebar roll. With my gravel bike , packed bikepacking bags from Topeak and the Forclaz Trek 900, I was out on the bumpy gravel roads and MTB trails of the Bikepacking Trans Germany Route .

Forclaz Trek 900 Ultralight Test – The tent in the practical test

The Forclaz Trek 900 Ultralight Tent was used on my tour on the Bikepacking Trans Germany Route in Germany and the Czech Republic.

Forclaz Trek 900 Ultralight Tent Bike

I liked the tent on the whole tour and therefore I will continue to use it. Of course I will update the test report with further practical experiences, e.g. regarding the water column.

Bikepacking Tent Decathlon Trekking Tent 1 Person

In my Trek 900 test, I pitched the ultralight tent on a variety of surface conditions: The ground on this trip was a lot of things:

  • From soft forest soil to gravel
  • From sharp and mown grass to asphalt

Decathlon Tent Test Trekking Tent

I pitched the Decathlon Ultralight tent several times on grass with soft ground. These are the best conditions for the tent, because according to Decathlon it has to be fixed with pegs to stand ideally. The tent is therefore not described as completely free-standing, but as partially self-supporting.

Trekking tent Forclaz Trek 900 Tent freestanding closed

In practice, I had also set it up on gravel floors and on concrete slabs. In these places then the fastening of pegs was not possible. So the tent was only held by its own Y-shaped tent poles. Without pegs, the interior does not unfold its full volume and the tent is also not very wind stable. In a pinch, however, this also works and of course I have tested the setup without the pegs 😉

Decathlon Tent Trek 900 Ultralight Tent Small Pack Size Bike

Only the inner tent of the Forclaz Trek 900 can be pitched. In the summer, I really like to sleep exclusively in the inner tent and enjoy the close-to-nature experience 🙂 the inner tent has a high percentage of mosquito netting and so the view of the starry sky is unobstructed. You also have best ventilation in the tent.

Forclaz Trek 900 Trekking tent under 2 kg

The footprint, i.e. the groundsheet, can be purchased as an accessory. I have always pitched the tent together with the footprint and I strongly recommend it! The tarpaulin protects the tent floor from wear and tear and also protects sensitive equipment in the tent, e.g. a sleeping pad. The Footprint is also small, light and inexpensive. With the footprint, for example, only the outer tent can be pitched without the inner tent or, in the event of rain, the inner tent can be pitched first (I haven’t tested this yet).

Weight and pack size

The Forclaz Trek 900 Ultralight Tent is particularly light and compact. This is also one of the great strengths of the trekking tent.

The tent itself is delivered in a practical storage bag. There is room for the outer tent and the inner tent. A zipper closes the bag neatly and two compression straps can be added to save space. There is also a practical storage bag for the pegs and the cords.

Trekking tent small pack size Forclaz Trek 900 Test

I weighed the following total weight of the 1-person Ultralight tent myself:

Total weight: 1301 grams – Ultralight so 😉

Decathlon makes these weight specifications on its product page:

  • Outer tent: 365 grams
  • Indoor tent: 420 grams
  • Tent poles: 290 grams
  • Tent pegs (10 pcs.): 100 grams
  • Transport sleeves: 45 20 grams + 12 grams
  • Repair set (tent pole sleeve and tent patches): 20 grams

The inner tent can also be pitched without the outer tent. Likewise, you can pitch the outer tent without the inner tent. For these cases, I have weighed the following:

  • 767 grams for the inner tent and tent poles (incl. 59 grams tent packing bag)
  • 731 grams for outer tent and tent poles (incl. 59 grams tent packing bag)
  • 59 grams for pegs, guy ropes, repair kit and the small pack sack

As with any ultralight tent, I definitely recommend using a groundsheet. The footprint weighs an additional 150 grams and you can buy it here.

Footprint base plate Forclaz Trek 900 Test

I had the tent in the handlebar pulley of my gravel bike Bombtrack Beyond 1 for the entire tour. On a bike with a flare bar, the space between the handlebars is limited and only compact tents fit between the handlebars. Thanks to the pack size of 39 × 11 × 10 cm (measured by myself) this is no problem at all with the Trek 900.

The tent poles are not included in the pack size, nor are the footprint and pegs. But that’s not a problem at all. The tent fits easily into the following bags with a small pack size:

  • Bikepacking: Tent and accessories fit in a handlebar roll between the handlebars ( pictured below: Topeak Bikepacking bags – go to the Topeak Bikepacking bags review here).
  • Bike tour and bike trip: In traditional bike bags everything fits except the tent poles. These are best attached directly to the luggage carrier.
  • Trekking and hiking: When hiking fits the complete trekking tent incl.. Tent poles already in a very small backpack.

Material and workmanship of the Forclaz Trek 900 Ultralight

As usual with ultralight tents, the material of the tent is quite thin. You shouldn’t be put off by this, because the tent won’t tear right away! In practice, the Trek 900 Ultralight has proven to be a durable ultralight tent. Even if I still lack the long-term experience with the Decathlon tent of course.

In addition, a small bag is included in the delivery. The aluminium pegs can be neatly stowed in it. The appearance of the pegs I find at first impression somewhat unspectacular. They are silver matt and therefore have a “used look” and appear simple.

Forclaz Trek 900 Test Ultralight Tent Pegs

According to Decathlon, for environmental reasons, the anodizing of the pegs was deliberately omitted. With this I can well come to terms. There is nothing to complain about when it comes to the function of the robust pegs: even if you drive them into the ground with a lot of force, they retain their shape in an exemplary manner.

The pegs are in a practical storage bag. In the same case, in a separate compartment, is the repair kit.

Forclaz Trek 900 Tent Repair Tape Scope of Delivery

I find it a pity that no carrying case for the rod is included. So here you have to improvise yourself. Positive is the repair kit, which is supplied immediately. This can be used to repair a broken tent pole.

Inner and outer tent

The following material is used on the Trek 900:

  • Outer tent: Polyester (PES) 20D
  • Inner tent: Polyester – no indication of material thickness.
  • Bottom: Polyamide (PA) 40D

Seams are often the weak point of a tent. Moisture can easily penetrate here. Therefore, all seams were sealed with thermo-bonded tape.

Forclaz Trek 900 Ultralight Trekking Tent under 2 kg

Footprint of the Forclaz Trek 900 Ultralight

The footprint can be purchased as an extra accessory. The accessory is small, light, inexpensive and fits perfectly with the Ultralight tent thanks to its shape and the anchoring eyelets.

Why a Footprint? This ground sheet protected the floor of the Decathlon Ultralight tent and should definitely be in the luggage.

Here you can get the Footprint groundsheet:

  • Footprint floor tarp for Trek 900 Ultralight 1 person* or
  • 2 person footprint*
  • 3 person ground sheet*

Poles and pegs – Decathlon Ultralight Tent Test

The tent poles are 100% aluminium. Typical ultralight strengths are used for the material. When used with the footprint and transported in the carry bag, I expect this to be a tent that can be used for many years.

Forclaz Trek 900 Test Trekking Tent small pack size

The tent poles are held together by a rubber. The rubber makes it easier to push the tent poles together. The outer tent is then simply clipped to the poles. I’ll show you the setup in detail later in the article.

Bikepacking Tent Decathlon Trekking Tent Lightweight

In practice, I used four pegs to pitch the tent. This makes the tent stable. Decathlon recommends using more pegs in the instructions.

Decathlon Tent Test Forclaz Trek 900 Ultralight Pegs

The inner and outer tents of the Trek 900 are not connected. Both can be built together or separately.

The Trek 900 is a partially self-supporting tent, i.e. it stands without pegs and without being braced. The tent poles form a Y-shaped dome: this means that the tent poles stand on three legs and are self-supporting to a limited extent. In a pinch, you can sleep in the tent without using pegs (which I have done).

However, it is only by attaching the pegs that the full space in the inner tent can be used and the tent reaches its full stability.

Price Bikepacking Tent Decathlon Trekking Straps

The instructions explain the assembly of the tent logically and comprehensibly. Once or twice you need the instructions for assembly. After that, the process becomes second nature and it takes approximately 7 to 10 minutes to set up.

The structure can be summarized as follows:

  • Laying the inner tent on the ground
  • Hook the inner tent into the tent poles and clip tightly
  • Attach the outer tent to the frame
  • Tie down the tent, fasten the pegs and tension the tent

Colour coding is provided on the tent poles, inner tent and outer tent. This helps when pitching and you intuitively attach the outer tent to the poles the right way round. With other tents, I am regularly confused here.

Also practical: The outer tent can be pitched from the inside, e.g. in the rain or if you want to travel light without an inner tent. For this you need the ground sheet in any case. As you know, I recommend these accessories to everyone anyway.

It is also possible to pitch the inner tent without the outer tent.

Now you will learn all the steps for pitching the tent in detail:

Ground sheet Forclaz Trek 900 tent

Structure Footprint (floor tarp) – recommended:

  • Place footprint on the floor
  • Clamp tent poles into the footprint in the eyelets at the edge

You don’t have to use the footprint, but it will increase the life of the Trek 900 and provide additional protection against water intrusion from below.

Forclaz Trek 900 Test Ultralight Tent Pitching

Inner tent structure:

  • Clamp the tent poles through the eyelets on the edge of the outer tent.
  • The outer tent has several sturdy plastic hooks: Clamp the plastic hooks to the tent pole.

Decathlon Tent Test Hiking Tent Poles Setup

The inner tent has two aluminium eyelets in the middle: Attach the inner tent to the tent pole with the eyelets. This raises the tent roof poles.

4. then secure the inner tent with four pegs: two on the right side of the tent, one at the front of the vestibule and one at the back of the tent. The inner tent is now already standing securely.

Forclaz Trek 900 Ultralight Tent Pitching

The inner tent and the tent pole are now already standing on their own and you can use the full space in the tent. On warm summer nights you can also sleep in the inner tent only.

Forclaz Trek 900 Test Ultralight Tent Set Up Freestanding

Structure outer tent:

  • Place the outer tent over the inner tent and the tent poles and in the middle, at the highest point of the tent, hook the outer tent onto the tent poles with 2 aluminium eyelets.
  • Hook the outer tent on the bottom right of the tent with two eyelets and tension it
  • Hook the outer tent on the left into the tent pole
  • Secure at the front and back with an additional peg. Here you have already put pegs into the ground for the inner tent – these can also be used in practice.

Forclaz Trek 900 tent small pack size bike

Additional setup steps: The tent can also be braced with the tent cords if required, e.g. if strong wind is expected.

It takes approximately 7 to 10 minutes to completely erect the tent.

The outer tent without the inner tent can also be set up if you want to save weight, for example. In case of rain or if you want to save weight, you can also pitch the outer tent only.

Space & comfort – Forclaz Trek 900 experience

Let’s let the numbers speak first (manufacturer specifications according to the product page):

  • Cabin length (inner tent): 210 cm
  • Cabin width (inner tent): 60 cm
  • Cabin height (inner tent): 95 cm
  • Total height of the tent: 110 cm
  • Width of the vestibule: approx. 70 cm

So far so good. What does this mean in practice?

Trekking tent under 2 kg space

The space is just right for an Ultralight tent: With the one-person tent, you can also comfortably put a large sleeping pad in the tent. Next to the sleeping mat there is still some space for odds and ends. I like to charge my electrical devices here and accordingly the power bank, smartphone and the bicycle GPS navigation system lie next to the sleeping pad in the tent.

There is also plenty of room above or below the sleeping pad.

Forclaz Trek 900 trekking tent 1 person storage space

I usually put my change of clothes and a small bag there. This works wonderfully and without the tent walls being pressed outwards.

For me with 1.84 meters body height, the tent also has the ideal height and I can sit comfortably upright without touching the tent ceiling.

Organization compartments are also some with the tent: At the head end there is a large compartment for eg GPS bike computer, wallet (hopefully ultralight 🙂 ) and other equipment.

There is also an organizational net on the tent ceiling. The tent also has several loops and plastic hooks for attaching, for example, a headlamp inside the tent. Thanks to the organisational options, the equipment is neatly stowed away and yet quickly at hand again.

Tent bike tour organization Decathlon

What there is no room for inside the tent is stowed in front of it: there is a wide vestibule with plenty of space: I can easily fit my complete bikepacking bags and lots of accessories.

Officially the vestibule offers space for a 70 litre backpack which can be quite good. Cleverly with the vestibule, one section has an integrated groundsheet which should protect the contents well from moisture and rain. The other part of the vestibule does not have a floor tarp. There you can e.g. put down dirty shoes and do not dirty the tent. The contents are nevertheless protected from above.

Quality and stability

Even the lightest ultralight tent should of course be durable. As far as durability is concerned, you should pay special attention to the following factors:

What about the quality of these factors in the Trek 900? One thing in advance: The inner tent and the outer tent itself seem robust and tear-resistant enough to me. In addition, all seams are neatly finished. When pitching, you can also pull hard on the tent, e.g. tension the inner tent, without breaking anything.

It is still too early for a final assessment of quality and reliability. Here’s my first impression. So what about the important factors?

Tent poles: The tent poles are made entirely of aluminum. Inside the bars are held together by a rubber cord. Similar designs have proven successful in other tents, such as the MSR Hubba NX . Tent poles and also the cord seem sturdy. Assembled, you can also bend the aluminum rods neatly. Very good. Sturdy plastic is used for the clips on the inner tent and the eyelets are made of sturdy aluminium. All good so far.

Bikepacking Tent Decathlon Tent Test

There is criticism for the Y-connection part on the tent poles: This supporting element is also made of plastic. If these elements break, then you can’t set up the tent again until you either temporarily repair the part along the way or replace the poles.

Decathlon Tent Test Hiking Tent Poles

Zipper: The two two-way zippers performed reliably in the test. The zippers each have a small string attached so you can grab them quickly and comfortably.

The tent is designed so that there is never too much tension on the zipper when opening and closing. The same applies to the zippers on the outer tent.

Forclaz Trek 900 Decathlon Tent Test Zipper Inner Tent

Tent floor: As described above, the tent floor is made of polyamide in 40D thickness. In terms of durability and weight, the right choice of material was made for an ultralight tent. As with any tent, I recommend using an additional groundsheet to protect the floor. The custom-fit footprint for the Forclaz Trek 900 is available from Decathlon.

If something should break, there are replacements for the important parts. I like very much that you can easily reorder the spare parts on Decathlon.de. For example, you can buy the outer tent, inner tent and parts of the frame. You can find the spare parts directly in the shop on Decathlon.co.uk if you search for “Trek 900”.

In addition, there is a 5-year warranty on the tent. I read through the warranty terms and they sound quite fair. Another plus.

Weatherproof (waterproof and windproof)

The tent is mainly designed for the months of spring, summer and autumn. This is clearly shown by the good ventilation and the choice of materials:

  • The inner tent has a high percentage of mosquito netting. This supports the ventilation
  • The tent walls of the outer tent are quite high (also supports the ventilation).
  • Ventilation can be regulated by tightening or loosening small straps
  • There is another large slit at the top of the outer tent for roof ventilation.

The selected materials ensure that relatively little condensation forms inside. The ventilation in the tent I find overall pleasant and correctly chosen for a tent of this type.

Bike Tent Forclaz Trek 900 Test Inner Tent View

I would describe the ventilation in the inner tent as very good and at the same time you are protected from strong winds. It should be noted that the Y-shaped poles are only attached at three points in the inner tent and possibly the groundsheet. This type of pole is typical of a partially freestanding tent. If strong wind is to be expected, the tent should therefore be additionally tensioned in any case.

Decathlon states the wind stability at 60 km/h (16.67 metres per second, wind force 7) and had this value confirmed by an independent laboratory in the wind tunnel.

There is plenty of space between the inner tent and the outer tent. This provides additional good ventilation. This should also prevent moisture from penetrating from the outer tent through the inner tent into the tent interior.

Forclaz Trek 900 Tent Bike Travel Inner Tent Outer Tent

I could not determine an excessive formation of condensation. During my test ride on the Bikepacking Trans Germany Route , I was spared heavy rains. Thus, I have no practical experience on the water resistance of the Decathlon Ultralight tent.

Trekking Tent Waterproof Waterproof

My assessment of the water resistance: To make water penetration more difficult, the seams of the Forclaz Trek 900 have been sealed. Decathlon makes the following statements about the water resistance of the Trek 900:

  • the outer tent is rated at > 2,000 mm and
  • the floor of the inner tent is specified with 3,000 mm water column.

Decathlon states that the tent has been laboratory tested in tropical rain-like conditions. But what does that mean in practice?

My MSR Hubba NX has comparable water resistance ratings to the Trek 900 Ultralight. I have never had any problems with water penetrating the tent from the outside. So I take a very relaxed view of this issue. For the typical areas of use of the tent in Central Europe, the water column should be easily sufficient. The Footprint groundsheet offers an additional > 3,000 mm water column.

Conclusion – Trek 900 test report experience and summary

The Forclaz Trek 900 Ultralight impressed me in the test: It is one of the cheapest Ultralight tents and convinces at the same time with high quality.

The pack size is very small and therefore the tent can be stowed in a bikepacking handlebar roll and also fits in a small trekking backpack. Space is adequate – by ultralight standards I’d say the space is dialed in just right .

Another plus is the low weight of just 1.3 kilos. True ultra-light trailers can also leave the outer tent at home and are then on the road on a warm summer night with only feather-light 767 grams.

Yes, the Trek 900 is only partially self-supporting. I’m sure every buyer knows that, because it’s in the first sentence on the product page. In my practical test I almost always used 4 pegs to guarantee a firm stand.

The tent setup is wonderfully fast and easy. Just as I wish. Likewise, the tent is quickly stowed away again in the supplied pack sacks and the tour can continue.

The tent is offered in a color (gray / orange): This I find very chic but of course you are not best camouflaged with such a color in the forest. An outer tent in green as a color variant, would be desirable here.

Fortunately, the lightweight can be had for a small price.

I had a lot of fun on my tour with the tent and look forward to further tours with the Decathlon tent.

Forclaz Trek 900 Tent Test Experiences

Forclaz Trek 900 buy – yes or no?

If you’re looking for a reliable ultralight tent for bikepacking and trekking tours, you should take a look at the Decathlon Forclaz Trek 900 Ultralight directly. Low weight, a small pack size and an affordable price are all on the plus side of the Trek 900.

In terms of reliability and robustness, the tent offers exactly what you need for outdoor tours in Central Europe. From me there is a clear recommendation.

You need more space? The ultralight tent is also available with more space for 2 and 3 persons.

The Forclaz Trek 900 trekking tent is available at Decathlon:

✅ Lightweight: weighs only 1.3 kilos in the complete package ✅ Small pack size: Fits in a bikepacking handlebar roll and in a trekking backpack ✅ Space in the inner tent just right for an Ultralight tent ✅ Favorable price ✅ Easy to set up and dismantle ✅ Ideal tent for moderate climates like ours in Central Europe

❌ Only partially self-supporting: Therefore limited use, e.g. on concrete floor ❌ Y-connection on the plastic tent pole Grey/orange color is chic but rather flashy for wild camping

Hi Michael,

Awesome review and thank you for the details. Would you assume the tent suitable for a trek in the northern part of the Kungsleden (summer period)?

Hi Jeroen, thank you for your feedback. The tent is pretty much perfect for the weather conditions you can expect in Kungsleden in the summer.

Why I Love Camping – Finally time for a brew

Craig loves nothing more than pitching up in the backcountry, preferably while taking on a long-distance thru-hike. His adventures usually take place in the hills and mountains of Wales but he occasionally gets away to his beloved Alps. As one of our expert campers, Craig revels in testing camping equipment and knows a sturdy shelter from one that will give up the ghost when conditions become challenging.

Decathlon Forclaz MT900 Tunnel Tent: first impressions

The Forclaz MT900 Tunnel Tent is a two-person backpacking shelter designed and sold by French sporting goods powerhouse Decathlon. A part of their higher-end Forclaz brand, the tent has become a popular and much-beloved option for three-season camping over the last couple of years – and it has picked up a bunch of awards in the process. So how does it fare against the best two-person tents on the market?

• List price: £209.99 • Style: Tunnel tent • Weight: 1.75kg / 62oz • Waterproofing: 2,000mm flysheet, 3,000mm groundsheet • Rooms: One bedroom, one vestibule • Compatibility: One person and gear

If you’re not familiar with Forclaz, the brand is part of Decathlon’s in-house stable of own brands – alongside Quechua and Simond – in the hiking and camping space. And despite the relatively “budget” reputation Decathlon has developed over the years, I’ve been nothing but impressed with everything I’ve tested of theirs, such as the MT900 Minimal Editions Trekking Pole tent or the more budget-friendly sister to the MT900 tunnel tent, the MT500 Dome Tent that I tested last winter. Therefore, with this line being the most expensive shelter from Decathlon I’d ever had the privilege of testing, I was full of expectations going into this one.

Coming in at 1.75kg / 3.6lb, the MT900 Tunnel Tent is reasonably lightweight for what it delivers, and packs down decidedly small, too. It comes in at around the same size as a two-liter soda bottle, so you can easily stuff it into the bottom of a small hiking or overnight backpack, or attach it to your bike’s frame if bikepacking .

Decathlon Forclaz MT900 Tunnel Tent: in the wild

Decathlon Forclaz MT900 Tunnel Tent

The Forclaz MT900 Tunnel Tent is an intentionally simple-to-pitch tent. Designed to be easily thrown up in heavy wind or rain, the inner and the outer come pre-clipped together so it’s simply a matter of pegging out the tent’s four corners. Once these are fastened to the ground, you can slide in the central pole and tie out the guylines to get everything drum tight – and you’re done. 

As is the case with the MT900’s cheaper dome-cousin, the Forclaz MT500 dome tent, however, the center pole on the MT900 takes a bit of wrestling to get into the latches on either side. At numerous times I was worried I was going to snap or bend it too much, but it eventually went in without any collateral damage. But that’s the only tricky thing about erecting this tent, and I even managed to get a near-perfect pitch of the MT900 in fewer than five minutes the first time I put it up. 

Over the following few weeks, I used this tent a handful more times – including in Dartmoor National Park and once on a camp site – and the process of pitching it felt easier and quicker every time.

The MT900 comes with two doors: one that’s large enough to store wet gear or to cook in, and another that allows for an extra entry or exit point if you were to share this tent with a buddy. 

Truthfully, however, even though it’s advertised as a two-person tent, you wouldn’t be in for the most comfortable night if you were to share this shelter. The amount of space inside lends itself better to one person and gear. That being said, at 110cm / 43in wide, you could lie two regular sleeping pads side by side if you had to; you’d just have to have a very close relationship with your bunkmate to get a good night’s sleep.

Decathlon Forclaz MT900 Tunnel Tent

One thing I especially appreciated on this tent – as I have on all Forclaz shelters to date – is the ease with which you can attach and detach guylines. I’m a bit of a clean freak when it comes to pitching and packing away my tent, so I often feel obliged to guy out all lines even on perfectly still summer nights. I just can’t leave them dangling there. 

On the Forclaz lines, though, this isn’t a problem: the guylines come with a latch-and-loop-style system that allows you to attach only the lines you need. Additionally, unlike the frustrating strap-and-toggle approach most manufacturers use on doors, Forclaz also use plastic hooks to fasten down loose doors, which allows you to keep them out of the way. 

These are two simple design tweaks that I particularly enjoy as an end user and, even though they’re only minor, make the process of spending time in a tent so much more enjoyable. 

Decathlon Forclaz MT900 Tunnel Tent

To mitigate condensation inside the tent, the MT900 comes with a generous ventilation port at the foot end and a large port towards the back side of the tent’s highest point. In my experience, these do a good job of maximizing airflow through the shelter, though I did wake up to some condensation. 

When it comes to the tent’s performance in bad weather, this is where I think the MT900 punches massively above its price point. When pitched correctly, the tent is drum-tight and sits strong against the wind. In fact, on one occasion, I used this with a friend who was in the Robens Chaser 1 , a tent that’s wind-tested by the manufacturer in speeds of up to 200km/h. I found the MT900 did as good a job at staying strong in very high gusts while offering much more space than the Chaser. 

And although that’s not to say that I’d expect the Chaser to buckle before the Forclaz (I’d expect the Chaser to long outlast the MT900), the tents performed almost identically in this real-world scenario – despite the MT900 being over £100 cheaper.

Kuznetski Most area in Moscow

Kuznetski Most is a small area between Tverskaya street, Kremlin, and Kitai Gorod (Lubyanka) and it's a downtown of Moscow. First of all, 'Kuznya' is a great place to walk: it is a real Moscow area, not a postcard at all, hectic busy streets neighbour tranquil lanes and courtyards with traditional architecture. There are also many very nice cafes, restaurants, clubs, and shops. If you want a cool place to meet people, go for a walk and to get the real feeling of the city, check out this area.

Kuznetsky Most area - photo by Sergey Rodovichenkov @FlickR

Long time ago there were only half-broken low wooden houses in Kuznetski Most area, and it was the place where poor blacksmithes lived. Blacksmith is 'Kuznets' in Russia, hence the name. In the beginning of the street (on top) there was a bridge over a small river, later this river was put underground, so there's no bridge anymore. About 200 years ago there was a rich Moscovitan noble buying this area. He immediately put away all the blacksmiths' houses and started to build a fancy new district. Just in few years he built up beautiful houses, with impressive ornaments, rich decoration, pools in the courtyards. Also, he opened some French boutiques in the area. That's when Kuznetski Most started to become fashionable. In a short time all the elite moved to this  area, and those who wasn't so fast were coming here to make some shopping and to sit in many of the restaurants and cafes around.  In the 20th century, when the communist times arrived, most of the buildings were given to government offices, some were given to soviet shops. The area became boring, the architecture was slowly deteriorating , but nobody seemed to care. In the beginning of the 90s  the area was revived again: the buildings were  restored , there was many new cafes being opened, boutiques, and shops. One important landmark of Kuznetsky Most is that it's home to FSB (Federal Security Bureau - former KGB) offices, and if you walk along Kuznetsky Most street you can get to the FSB reception, which is open 24 hours (in case you have something to report).

Kuandinsky Bridge – one of the scariest road bridges in the world

1 Comment · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Regions , Travel

Kuandinsky Bridge over the Vitim River, located on the border of Zabaikalsky region and the Republic of Buryatia , is definitely one of the most dangerous road bridges in the world.

Construction of the bridge was not completed, although it had begun more than 30 years ago. Local residents and travelers cross it at their own risk.

Kuandinsky Bridge, Zabaikalsky region, Russia, photo 1

The bridge is about half a kilometer long, and the width is almost equal to the width of a car. There are no any railings and fences. In addition, a strong wind is constantly blowing over the river. That’s why people open windows in their cars to reduce windage. Kuandinsky Bridge on Google Maps . Photos and video by: Sergey Dolya .
