Decathlon Quechua - 2 Second Easy Fresh & Black Waterproof Pop Up Camping Tent 3 Person

I use the decathlon 2 second easy 3 person tent. Fits a exped megamat max duo with some spare space. I prefer it over the gazelle tents, because it's a blackout tent, lower to the ground to not catch wind, and most importantly it is very compact (egg shaped) when it is stored. The gazelle is very long so its difficult to store it in the car while keeping it accessible.

Stay away from Decathlon if you wanna camp in peace. Some of their tent models have severe engineering faults almost as if a total noob derived from any common sense designed them and nobody ever bothered testing them outdoors either. I've actually spoken with a regional manager about this once and the problem is that Decathlon is soo big that it's gotten really hard to make any product changes at all without affecting supply chain and profit margin. They basically know their products are crap but they cannot do anything about it and customers in poorer countries aren't that picky either so nobody cares. The list is long but here's a few examples: The door on the Airseconds 4.1 is not mounted with the bottom, during windy rain it thus gets blown inside and then acts as a water slide for rain water. Lots of customers have reported this over the years and I even saw it in person when visiting a Decathlon store once (they had their tents set up outside and it was a stormy rainy day). Almost all bigger Decathlon tents don't have fully sealed bottoms, thus insects will slowly crawl inside over time. It should be noted that similar priced tents from Easy Camp (budget brand from Outwell), Kampa (budget brand from Dometic) or Coleman all have fully sealed bottoms. Decathlon pole based hiking tents and pop up style tents are all too short for an average sized 180cm humanoid male, your feet and head will be touching the walls when sleeping on a 8cm thick pad (I tested that myself). Making the tent just a few cm bigger would resolve this but it would also cut into their profit margin. The only great Decathlon tent is the "2 seconds easy" because it can be set up in a few seconds and offers a real 205cm useable length due to the upside walls. I've got the 2P and 3P sizes of that model and spent many nights in them, they're really unique on the market. It remains a mystery why they forgot to add vents on the 2P size (the 3P got them), but I went ahead and added them myself.

Decathlon 2 seconds easy 3P

you probably got a "2 Seconds" tent, however I recommend getting the "2 Seconds easy" tent which is a totally different product I apologize for the confusion but it's not my fault that Decathlon is too stupid to come up with a more distinctive product naming scheme

as I said above, that's not the same like "2 seconds easy". I know that because I got both tents and the "easy" tent is vastly superior. Too bad Decathlon couldn't give it an equally good name. I mostly stopped recommending the tent because people are almost always assuming I mean the "2 seconds" tent when in fact I mean exactly what I said. Probably the most misleading product name ever, what a mess.

"Decathlon Quechua 2 seconds easy" -> very good tent, sets up in like 10 seconds. Probably the best overnighter tent out there. Only real downside is the stupid name, hardly any customer will instantly grasp that "2 seconds" and "2 seconds easy" are completely different products. "Decathlon Quechua 2 seconds" -> shit tent, too short for 6' humanoid male, needs stakes and folding it together is a PIA. Source: I've had both.

I know this tent very well, it's quite popular due to the low price but badly ventilated and a bit too short for an average sized humanoid male. The best tent for car camping purposes is the Decathlon 2 seconds easy in 3P size. It's super quick to set up (like 10 seconds) and much better designed than the pole style MH tents. Note: "2 seconds easy" (good tents) and "2 seconds" (terrible tents) a different product lines, stupid naming scheme by Decathlon.

"Quechua 2 seconds" Its name is program.

Can concur the fresh&black line with blackout lining is awesome for camping. Have now owned 4 of their tents and they're incredible value for those price points. If you're starting off building up your own camping gear you wont go wrong with their stuff.

Yes! I’ve had my Fresh&Black tent for over three years and I go camping about 30 nights per year. It’s still like new. They’re very cheap, too.
