If you’ve ever been to a festival, you’ll likely be familiar with the aftermath of camping chaos. Many festival-goers leave their tents behind rather than carry them home. However, now when shopping at Decathlon, you can take advantage of the brand’s ‘Tent Pledge’.
If you buy one of their MH100 tents and return it in ‘good condition’, you’ll receive a gift card for the exact value of the tent. The outdoor brand states that around 250,000 tents are discarded at festivals each year, with most ending up in landfill. By participating in this campaign, you’ll help cut down on unnecessary waste while still enjoying your chosen festival.
It’s worth noting that this offer is only available until September 13th, 2024, and you’ll need proof of purchase. Once that’s sorted, you’ll get the value of your purchase back as a gift card. When it comes to selecting a tent from the MH100 range, there’s plenty to choose from. Here are our top picks.
This MH100 2-Person Tent is a great choice if you’re looking for a smaller design; it’s compact but well-ventilated to ensure you won’t overheat when the sun is out. Its freestanding dome structure also means it’ll maintain its shape without needing to be pegged into the ground, allowing you to lift it and move it without taking it apart – useful if you need to reposition it or shake off any debris.
Reviewers have also given their seal of approval, with one stating they’ve owned the tent for years and it’s weathered ‘plenty of festivals, camping trips and even a 5-day trek in autumn’. They added a word of caution: ‘I wouldn’t recommend camping up high in exposed windy and cold weather as the wind goes straight through,’ but noted, ‘it still withstood the wind though, and it’s never leaked once, and it’s seen plenty of wind and rain’.
For those who need extra space or want to accommodate an additional person, this three-person tent offers more room. Similar to the previous option, it’s freestanding and features vents for air circulation. It also boasts two doors, making entry and exit less disruptive for other occupants.
Customers described the tent as ‘extremely compact and lightweight to carry around’ and ‘very quick and simple to put up, even in the dark. ‘ One individual did mention that the ventilation was ‘not good enough’, although they conceded it might have been due to its placement, as it was obstructed by other tents.
