- Decathlon Quecha 2 Seconds EASY Tent - NEW Quick Set Up Tent
We tested the 2 Second Tent last summer for Decathlon (video here • Decathlon 2 Second 3 T... )
They sent over the new version of the tent (before it is available to the public). I took it to the mountains with our dogs and gave it a quick test.
I did my best to not read the instructions or learn anything about the tent.
Why would I do that? LOL I wanted to see how easy to set up the tent really is. How a person who is in a rush, probably with grumpy kiddo in tow, would approach setting the tent up. You know, real-world testing :)
Mother nature gave us a good wind and rain storm as we tested the tent out. It handled it well and stayed dry.
This is a good tent for a beginner, or someone looking to car camp. At 11lbs, it is a bit too heavy (in my opinion) to backpack with. But for car camping, staying out of the sun at the lake, or backyard, this a good option.

Check out our exclusive review of the newest version of this tent. Should be out in a few months! ruclips.net/video/MLxsxm_4I18/видео.html

Stop supporting Decathlon, they supporting Russia 🇷🇺 not closing any stores.
Great tent! Kept me bone dry after a full rainstorm. It packs away nicely but if you are planning on trekking with it, it is quite heavy (5 kilograms) so you may have to sacrifice other comforts, that being said, it is excellent for overlanding! Would definitely recommend the tent overall
I just came back from a three week camping trip on Corsica.
I used my HILLEBERG Soulo and on the east coast i saw someone use two of those tents near me ( two children and parents).
On this place we had a Storm rolling in with 75km(46mph) winds and the Quechua tents had no problems after that. I did speak with the Owner with my poor French knowledge..
He told me that he was really scared inside the tent and not sure it would handle any more winds, but in the end they did fine.
I think the
price-performance ratio is great and they did look "cool" ;)
From what i saw i think they are most likely good 3-season tents.
Cheers from Switzerland
Wow! That is some strong wind! We love the Hille tents over here too. Legit for winter use. I am impressed with the Decathlon handeling those forces. Thanks for sharing that!
This was a great demo video. I needed a quick set-up and take down tent for kayak fishing tournament camping. I think breaking camp at 4 AM will be possible with this tent- no tent poles and shock cords to deal with threading through loops! Plus I can go to bed when it is light out and fool myself into thinking it is night. Now, if only it was SOUND PROOF as well! LOL! I should be getting my tent in 5 days time! from order to receipt- which is great considering it is shipping out of CA.
Thank you! I really appreciate the good feedback. Soundproof would be nice too! LOL. It is a super simple to use tent. I hope it allows you to have many great kayak and camping adventures. Take care!
Good video. I'm glad that you demonstrated the proper setup of the tent toward the end of the video
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the nice note!
Really good video thanks for sharing,what a beautiful place,👍
Thank you!!
It's on my list I'm buying one!!
Nice! Stay tuned.... we have the new version and will have the review up in about a month. Regardless, this is still a great tent and a good value! Hope you enjoy as well :)
Thats a good tent👍
Yes sir!
I found this so helpful thank youuuu
I'm so glad! Thank you!
@@Engearment I felt stupid cause I had to lookup. Video lol
Oh how much more compact they are when stored vs a pop-up tent! I just ordered this tent just as its so compact, just hope it's more waterproof than the pop-up tent that lasted just 1 night and leaked and it was more expensive than this 2 second tent!
I agree. The pop-up tents are fantastic, but their packing volume is HUGE which makes them useless for hiking or bike camping.
Great !
Thanks!
영상 잘 보았습니다.
Nice tent little prices for the size. And only one small air vent.
i give a thumbs up for anyone that can call themselves a goober 🖤
I can appreciate that! Can’t take ourselves too seriously 😆
Question, what model is this one? There are a few similiar but different versions of this. One I see is a different pop up as it doesn't have the pull cords. Thx.
It has to have the word 'easy' in the tent's name. 2 Seconds Easy Fresh and Black.
hi, I was wondering if you could help one of my poles in my tent has detached from the main strand, and I cannot get it back in place. is there want way I can get it back?
Hopefully you managed to fix it. :)
If anyone has the same problem you could either get it back to the nearest Decathlon and ask a professional to fix it or you could try to do it by yourself.
It is really not that hard as long as nothing is broken (fiberglass nor plastic) but you have to be really calm and patient while doing this because otherwise you could break the plastic parts of the poles. This sometimes take up to 20 minutes before you get it right. :/
The easiest way is to detach entire side of a tent where your pole got away and gently put every pole back in its place. After that just connect fabric and the poles again. You will naturally understand what I am talking about here...:')
PS: Most of the time this happens because of a bad body posture while opening the tent. You should get the right angle while pulling the cord.
Got mine today
Nice!
Hows the ventilation on the corner sides (bottom area)? It doesn't seem like its very breathable inside. I have mine on pre-order but still debating if I want to keep it. Would have been nice somehow if the rain fly was removable. Its 99 B pounds on decathlon UK but 200 US dollars in decathlon US. That sucks.
Hey Jp, That is good feedback on the price difference. I did not try to remove the rain fly either. The way the poles are built into the tent, lead me to believe that I did not want to mess that system up! LOL. We had a good amount of wind when testing, so it did a good job dumping condensation and air on the vents. The material of the inner tent does feel thicker than the backpacking tents we are used to testing. FWIW. I hope it does treat you well. If not, let us know what you think could be better. Take care!
In France, it's 99 euros. Weird. I guess it is because Decathlon has been around for decades now here whereas in the US, it is sort of brand new
@@MrLaurent124 I think you are spot on with this. Decathlon reached out to us last summer to review some other gear (Itiwit inflatable kayak - we love it!) that we have enjoyed testing. I believe they are making a good effort to reach markets outside of France.
@@Engearment I used to live in the US for several years and was always surprised there was no decatlhon-like store. It is good as they can really reduce the cost. Sometimes they have good new ideas too. You have to be careful though, they are really not that good for high end gear. Also, they are trying to "kill" all the other brands with their own brands. Their own brands are nice but you never know the quality of what you are buying. Sometimes it is good, sometimes not. So for everyday gear, it is perfect. For new cool stuff too, like the tent or inflatable paddle, kayak, ... But for good gear, i would say to be really careful
how big is it in the bag when packed? want to see if I can fit it in my motorbike‘s paniers..
It is pretty big. I don't think it would work well on a motorbike panier. Sorry!
How was the condensation inside the tent in the morning when you woke ?
I kept it well ventilated, so not much condensation at all.
You mention there was rain during the night, how did it perform?
Any water at the seams or bottom?
I usually get water where the top ends so I'm wondering if it happens with this one and if the sides are high enough with atronfwr waterproof material? Thanks for the video 😊
Hey Gail! Thank you for checking this out and for the question. It did a good job in the rain. I did not notice any water from the seams, bottom or anywhere else. Stay tuned as we have the new version in house and will be putting that video up in the next few weeks! - Sean
@@Engearment thank you Sean, can't wait to see the new gear 👍😄
is this a 2 layer tent? and there is a distance between the layers?
Good video brother. I seen this tent at Wal-mart and was looking at it for a while to see if it's a good size for sleeping in
Thank you my man! I appreciate your stoke 😎🙌
Wal Mart? I thought it was only sold thru Decathlon, the designers of this tent 🤔
Would have been cool to see at night now it looks from the outside if someone has a light on inside
That would be a cool shot. I have done that for a few other tents and it almost always looks cool. I will keep that in mind for the next review. Thanks!
😍
fun tent
Did you say there are no vestibules or the vestibules are small?
is it strong enough?
I would say it is strong enough for most peoples camping situations. I certainly would not use it in snow or high winds.
Will this be ok in the rain?
Yep! Tested it in the rain
Where are you. This location looks so beautiful
Thank you! I miss being able to go here (forest fires here in CO) it is at Jones Pass. My favorite place!
@@Engearment shhhhhh...
@@ligmaballz1 LOL. I know, don't spill the beans on a great camp spot. But honestly, I have met so many great people top here. Heck, I have met 8 of our Engearment writers up here - camping, hiking, backcountry skiing and splitboarding. Perhaps we will link up here? :)
What is the top 3 best pop-up tent according to you?
Take down and packing?
Click the 2 buttons and taupe the stakes out. Fold the tent in on itself and put back in the bag. 👌
@@Engearment I see to know how easy it is to pack it in the bag.
Is it hard to clean this tent?
We use rain to clean it. If it gets really dirty, I would recommend Nikwax tent proof.
You don't need to peg out first... Just lift the pull out points before you pull... Like it shows in the instructions!
Thanks for the nice note. I always peg out at least a few parts of any tent. The wind picks up very quickly here in Colorado and I have had tents blow off the mountain if not properly staked out. Just my best practices for tent assembly.
What if someone close it from outside when we are inside
You can unzip it from the inside
I might become mildly disoriented in there if it's pitch black so not for me but thanks for the review!
Thanks for checking it out!
What was it like to pack up
Pretty simple. Push the buttons. Fold the tent into itself.
@@Engearment thanks for that
@@trevorsmith579 🙌
Like a goober!! Lol
All goober, all the time :)
Prounced "key-chwa" after indigenous population in South America.
Thank you for that info. I did not know that. Much appreciated!
How much does it weigh?
around 12lbs

i doubt this will save time as opposed to a regular tent, because while setting it up is obviously a few minutes faster, drying it out in the morning will be longer than one where you can separate the layers.
Are you talking from experience, or opinion?
@@Engearment opinion. i'm planning on buying the thing. currently i only have a terra nova laser competition one, very easy to dry, before i had boring average vaude and department store tents, all easy to take apart into separate pieces, but honestly don't remember whether packing up in the morning was long with them or not. do you think i'm wrong about this?
@@markifi I think you are better off with a different tent. Honestly. Sounds like a double wall backpacking tent would be better for you.
This tent is simple and not really made to be broken down in the way you are looking to do.
@@Engearment you're probably right. i don't mind being slow in the evening or for an afternoon nap, but it has to be fast in the morning. maybe just throw it in the car wet, but it'll dampen stuff up inside probably. thanks for the advice
while you are sleeping inside maybe some lamer press the button who knows :) i think thats the only disadvantage of this tent.
Well AngrySon, that never occurred to me LOL
did you read instructions first?
I did not study the instructions. I try to approach this as most people would, and set it up with instinct. After looking at the instructions in more detail, I realized I could have set it up a bit quicker.
I wanted this tent until I saw the Red Tweeker Stripes on the inside.
The only downside to using this at a festival is that people will pull a practical joke on you by collapsing the tent all of the time.
Ah man, that is some lame practical jokers!
ketch-wa
Thank you
I misread the title, I was thinking it would be up in 2 seconds LOL
Lol. I suppose on a perfect situation, it might be 😆
Great tent, but who wants to sit in the pitch black during the day if its raining?
People who like to sleep LOL
"Because I get up at 5AM every day regardless". It's f'n dark for an hour or two after that time. What's the point?
Life. LOL :) I enjoy getting up early and getting a start. Usually it is as 4 or 4:30am actually. It is funny as I used to go to bed around 3 or 4am back when I was a DJ. Funny how things change :)
Quechua - pronounced [ketjwa] after the quechua native american peoples
Thank you for this intel. Much appreciated!
hey thats more than 2 secs!
LOL - Yep, just a few more :)
Too small. I would want a much bigger with a shade for my motorcycle and I could standup inside easily and fix my motorcycle in a huge heavy rain.
Let us know what tent you find for this.
@@Engearment the lone rider would be great as it s thick bit it s small as well but good for 1 person. But inside it s not dark like the decathlon 2 seconds new generation or the shiftpod... They are very quick to be installed. Trust me that would be a dream when you're driving on your motorbike under a big storm and... 15 minutes of installing your poles and tent compared to... 2 minutes... You won't change your mind forever.
@@bluepawn good intel!! Thank you Kalvin 🏍⛺️
Tent materials is outstanding, Tent quality, very flimsy.
Thanks for your insights.
Quechua, not Quecha. Title ...
Thanks for the heads up
if this guy is filming alone, who the fuck is zooming in from 0:37?
You can have cameras that auto zoom/follow you
2 seconds, my ass !!
