French F1 Commando Tent

French Army A-Frame Tent

The F1 Commando Tent is a compact French Army field shelter: a low A-frame tent in olive green nylon that pitches on a single upright pole at the front. Its small footprint and short profile suit camping, hunting and bushcraft trips where you want simple overhead cover. Collectors and reenactors of the modern French military will also want it as an authentic piece of issued kit.

Features

• Genuine French Army Issue — This tent was originally issued to the French military and is not a commercial copy built for the civilian market.
• Nylon Shell — The body is nylon, a synthetic fabric that stays light, packs down small and does not rot when it gets wet.
• OD Green Color — The tent comes in OD green (olive drab, the standard military field green), which keeps it low key in woodland and grass.
• A-Frame Ridge Design — Two sloping walls meet at a single ridgeline, a shape that sheds rain and stays low to the wind.
• Upright Front Pole — A single vertical pole lifts the front of the ridge and keeps the doorway clear of extra framework.
• Attached Floor — A floor panel joins the walls so the sleeping area sits on fabric instead of bare ground.
• Open Front Entrance — The front door panels fold back to give full access to the interior and let air through on warm nights.
• Staked Perimeter — The lower edges and corners peg down to the ground so the walls stay taut and the tent holds its shape.
