I don't remember.

We arrived in the UK in 2007 with no tent and stayed in hostels until we got to Dunkerque. We knew there was a Decathlon in Dunkerque (we had looked that up), and fortunately we found it ... wandered around ... spotted our tent ... and bought it.

It had several features we wanted including 3-person and only 2 poles, so it was the one.

I've not been able to find one like it on their site or the Decathlon site for a couple years ... their stock and styles have probably moved on.

But the point is ... we made a short list of 4 or 5 things we wanted in a tent, went to sporting goods store, and bought one. So my suggestion is, make a list of what you want, go to REI or whatever other sporting goods stores you've got in your area, and have a look at what's available.
