The brand boasts 2,080 stores open in 56 countries. Headquartered in France, Decathlon, rather surprisingly, stands as the largest sporting goods retailer in the world. That’s ideal for desert or beach camping, music festivals, or campers who just want to sleep in without roasting like they’re in an oven.Ĭheck Price at Decathlon Who Is Decathlon? And thanks to the “Fresh & Black” material used on the inside of the tent, the interior stays significantly cooler in direct sunlight than other tents. In short: The Quechua 2 Second Easy Fresh & Black Waterproof Pop Up Tent sets up easily and quickly (though not in a mere 2 seconds). And, it holds up to all of Decathlon’s other claims - especially (and surprisingly) one key aspect that tops almost any other tent on the market. But, this is still one fast tent to erect on site.

There’s a whole part of the outdoor market flooded with tents that make claims about being quick and easy to set up. I’ll admit, at first, I figured this tent would be more of a gimmick than a quality product. So, what better time to really put it to the test?

The gear tester in me won’t believe it until I can make it happen. The camper in me wants to see how well it works. When a brand claims that it’s come out with a quality pop-up tent that can be set up in under a minute, my ears perk up and I start paying attention.
