Quechua Pop-Up Series

3. A 2man Decathlon Quechua pop up A 3 man reactive outdoor (damn ad got me!) A 3 man Decathlon Quechua Fresh and Black pop up. I use the 2 man pop up for cooler weather as the ventilation isn't that great in still air. It's double lined, with one small vent in back, and a half screen door. I spent a very stuffy Memorial Day weekend in one on the beach. Once the wind died, I was sweating!!! I bought the RO 3 man because it was way more ventilated and open. It's a decent enough tent. I used it on the beach during Tropical Storm Chantal last summer, and it held up fairly well against the squalls. It did leak a tad though, and one of the legs got wonky. I bought the 3 man decathlon because I wanted the best of both worlds. Double lined, but with way more options for airflow as you have 2 side flaps and can pull the back up. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten to try it yet as this year brought me a surprise cancer diagnosis. (All will be well!) But I plan on taking it out in March next year for a good test. I'm a solo camper. Only the dog goes with me 😁

Hey all, I used the quencha pop up orange last year, super easy to set up and waterproof, however, the heat and the light was a killer last year. Thinking of getting a new one and torn between these two. Decathlon, a little bit more expensive but fresh and black. Eurohike, not as black out (which is okay if I can sleep until 7am at least) and it has a porch which could be a game changer to keep the trolley dry if we have a repeat like ‘24. Any recommendations for when it comes to how comfortable they are to sleep in, waterproof, storage etc? Would just be lil 5’1 me in there.

Snag a Decathlon 2 . Don't spend more then 150$ as they were on sale a year ago at my local Walmart. I snagged 3. Gave one away and have one in storage still. Still using the starter one. Fantastic for setting up at night for an easy put up or in the rain . Well worth $100 for the situation and have used mine more times than I can count on my fingers and have lasted festivals and upstate ny rain. Get the one that resembles a tent. Not the circular one when it's folded up. There are some on eBay listed as : DECATHLON tent, 2 second easy waterproof pop up camping tent 2 person, 10 pounds

I have the 2 person popup (not fresh and black) and the Fresh and Black Arpenaz 4.2 4 person tent with 3 rooms. Popup is fine for the odd night, fits into car easily, very very easy to put up and take down. No way can you backpack with it, it’s a huge disc shaped thing. Fresh and Black Arpenaz is a game changer though you wouldn’t want something this big for 1 person. Sitting in it right now. Spacious and airy, and does a really good job of blackout. Would definitely go for that over the basic range.

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.

Got a 3 berth pop up one nearly a decade ago and it's still going strong. For the money I spent it's the best value tent I've ever used. It's spacious (actually sleeps 3 plus a pack), goes up within 5 minutes, and is simple to strike with clear instructions and colour coded clips. We've done a lot of driving around the Europe in summer chasing good weather with it, but it's survived a windy week on the coast of Skye when other tents were flatened and our neighbours had to sleep in their car. In-laws have the newer blackout version and a tweaked design, but theirs seems just as robust. Recommend.

Got the Tiger Wall 2P and am super happy. 400€, 990gr. Cheaper option exact same design is the 2P tent from Decathlon, 250€, 1990gr. I use that for bike packing and the Tiger Wall for backpacking.
