Decathlon Quechua - 2 Second Easy Waterproof Pop up 43.3 inches

I haven't heard of those brands but I know Decathlon is a pretty reputable brand and they sell a Quechua pop up tent. https://a.co/d/3E7ZJbl

I don't believe that porch is compatible with that 2 second tent—it's already an XL. It's meant for the [2 seconds easy](https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/camping-tent-2-seconds-easy-2-person-freshandblack/_/R-p-308355) which is a much sturdier tent. Personally I would always add at least 1 extra person, if not double the "person capacity" of a tent for comfortable camping—assuming you don't want to put everything in the car or leave it all outside overnight to get damp.

Looks like a nice simple tent. Two poles - and the tent clips onto the poles (it can be fiddly sliding the poles through sleeves (even if that ends up with a stronger design). Should be fine but you need to test it before you use it. a) You'll be able to get it set up in < 10 minutes once you've worked it out and it's nicest to do that at home when you're not in a rush. b) You need to check it's all there and nothing's broken (zips / stitching...) Or decathlon have 3 man tent's for half the price [https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/camping-tent-mh100-3-person/\_/R-p-308317](https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/camping-tent-mh100-3-person/_/R-p-308317) and if you're near decathlon you can see it for your self. Decathlon tend to be cheap but good for what you pay. [Popup tents](https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/camping-tent-2-seconds-2-person/_/R-p-340082?mc=8784754&c=eucalyptus%20green_smoked%20green) do literally pop up in seconds and you can usually work out how to fold them back up in a couple of hours if you've access to youtube videos - seriously they work fine and cope fine with rain but you need to practice collapsing them or you become one of those heathens who abandons their tents.

I had a normal run of the mill Quechua 2 man pop up that I’ve had for about 15 years and my friend had the Fresh and black version. I woke up sweating my balls off, he had to put clothes on in the middle of the night because he was cold and could routinely sleep in until 11am. I’m 100% going to invest in one for next year. My other friend had the three man and it’s not that it’s heavy it’s that it’s so large you can’t really hold it by your side as it drags on the floor. So you have to awkwardly hug carry it, which doesn’t work if you have another bag in your hand. The 2 man is perfectly fine at 4.5kg. And if you are carrying something in both hands it equals out in weight and feels quite balanced.

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 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.

Decathlon Quechua: - Door is not connected with the tent bottom thus wind pushes it over the bottom lip and water comes inside (experienced it myself and also reported by numerous customers on their own website) - floor is not fully sealed with tent walls, insects crawl inside through gaps (like 1000+ ants if you're unlucky) - sleeping cabin is too short for average sized humanoid male (that's a common issue across almost all Decathlon tents, especially the pole style tents, weird) Even though the "Decathlon 2 seconds easy" is my favorite overnighter tent I've to admit that almost all other Decathlon tents have severe engineering issues and are basically trash products that aren't worth the struggle. I even spoke with a Decathlon product manager once about the situation and they basically cannot do anything about it because Decathlon is too big of a company for any quick production changes and frankly nobody cares in poorer countries anyway, low price comes above anything else.

I own their 2 person tent and it only fits one person plus their stuff comfortably. I'd imagine the 3 person tent would fit 2 people alright with some room for stuff. Depending on how much stuff and room you guys want, a 4 person Decathalon tent would be good. Their tents are great. Bought one last year and it worked like a charm. My only complaint was the amount of space. Me, my stuff and my 5lb dog was fine in it. It would fit 2 people, but we'd be sleeping side by side with little space to store stuff.

"Quechua 2 seconds" Its name is program.

I have a quechua two second pop up tent and a hemiplanet fistral inflatable tent, The specific models are probably too small for your needs, but as far as ease of set up, the pop up is slightly quicker to set up, but slower to put away and also kind of a pain. The inflatable is extremely easy to set up and put away, the only downside con the fistral has compared to the quechua in my opinion is that it is more expensive.
