The directions for the Quechua 2-Second-Tent are simple:
Hurl to unfurl.
Tent designers have spent decades fighting the rigors of erecting tents. Poles are corded together. Assembly is broken down into simple steps. Flashlight-illuminated instruction manuals promise effortless erecting.
But nothing beats the speed of Decathlon’s newest tent, as evidenced by a slew of international design awards in recent months. The coiled two-person tent is designed to be thrown into the air and is ready for occupancy upon landing. Waterproof and seam sealed with an integrated rain fly, the $69 tent is 8 feet long, providing enough room for two sleepers and their gear. At more than 8 pounds, it’s not going to win fans among the light-is-right backpacking crowd, but for car-campers hankering for s’mores over which-pole-where fumbling, the Quechua 2-Second Tent surely will impress.
