This tent makes setup the easiest chore in camp.

Speedy Shelter
The car-camping focused 2 Second Easy Fresh & Black Tent is a literal “pull tab to set up” tent. We swear it really does only take two seconds to set up (with a little hustle).
The original 2-person version of this user-friendly tent debuted in 2020—now the Decathlon engineers have sorted out the mechanics for a 3-person version available in 2022. The latest iteration is just as budget friendly and a breeze to set up.

Most time is spent getting it out of the bag. Once it's out, just pull on the tabs and the tent pops (it sometimes even makes a popping sound) in place. Stake it down in windy conditions or just crawl in and crash.
Fast Setup
Decathlon’s patented Fresh & Black outer fabric blocks out 99% of light for late sleepers or mid-day naps and blocks radiant heat to prevent getting hot and stuffy.
Blackout
Tested for tropical rain downpours at a rate of 200mm per hour per square meter and for winds up to 30mph (force 6 on the Beaufort scale).
