Rating and Summary

The Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent is easily my most storm proof tent. It’s also very user-friendly, complete with a guided pack-up, so you won’t struggle with it. And on top of that, the materials used are pretty high quality.

But its biggest weakness is that ventilation is definitely limited on both hot and rainy days. Out of all my pop up tents, this regular Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent has the least ventilation. Would I still recommend it though? Well, read on to find out!

In the Box

I bought this Quechua tent from Decathlon, and got the tent inside the carry bag. Since I bought it directly from the store, there wasn’t any packaging, and it was just like this:

This is what your Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent will look like when you buy it directly from a physical Decathlon store.

Inside the carry bag, apart from the tent, I also got 9 stakes and 7 guylines in these pockets here.

There's a small pocket in the carry bag of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent, which holds the provided stakes and guylines.

Ease of Set Up

To set up this Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent, first take the tent out of the carry bag. There will be a yellow strap holding the tent together.

Gently slide the tent out from that yellow strap, and the tent will pop open to make a bigger circle.

Next, undo these red buckles, there are 2 of them:

Then, turn the tent 180 degrees, and also undo these yellow buckles. There are also 2 of them.

After, unfold the tent, and it’ll quite intuitively pop up by itself and give you this freestanding tent.

If you want to, you can stake down the tent body using 4 of these stake loops, 2 at the front and 2 at the back.

You can also guy it out using the 7 provided guylines. There are 3 guy-out points at the back of the tent, 1 for the vent and 2 for the tent itself.

There are another 4 guylines that you can attach at the front of the tent as well.

If you attached the guylines earlier, and remember that they do not come pre-attached, staking and guying out the tent should take only about 2 minutes.

If you want to, you can skip this, but I highly recommend at least staking down the tent body and also guying out this rear vent at the back of the tent.

Altogether, the entire process should take at most 2.5 minutes once you’re used to it (popping up + staking + guying).

Ease of Pack Up

To take down this Quechua 2 Seconds Tent, first remove all the stakes, then unzip both the green and white doors, and fold the fabric up for an easier pack up.

After that, go inside the tent, reach for this red buckle at the back of the tent, and pull it out.

Do not let go of it, and also keep an eye out for the other end of these red buckles here.

When you pick the Quechua tent up, it would automatically fold back into a big circle, like this:

Position both ends of the red buckles together, and fasten them. Then, flip the Quechua tent 180 degrees, and secure the 2 yellow buckles as well.

There will be a red strap near the yellow buckles, so grab it with one hand, and push the tent body down to the ground with your other hand.

This is a picture of me holding the red strap of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent with one hand.

It’ll form a figure 8 shape, which you need to fold in half to get it back into this smaller circle.

I usually hold the tent together using my legs, and place the yellow strap across the tent so it wouldn’t pop up anymore.

After you fold the figure-8 shape of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent in half, this is the small circle that you will get.

Finally, put the tent back into the carry bag, it should go back in no problem, and keep all the stakes up into the pocket inside the carry bag.

This is a picture of me putting the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent back into the carry bag and zipping the bag up.
This is a picture of me putting the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent back into the carry bag and zipping the bag up.

It takes just 30 seconds to remove all the stakes, and 2 minutes to fold and pack up the tent itself, so altogether about 2.5 minutes for the entire pack up. I usually leave the guylines attached, so if you want to remove them, it’ll take slightly longer.

I find that it’s easier to watch the set up and take down rather than to read instructions, so I uploaded this video to my YouTube channel, that you can also watch right here:

Spaciousness

The peak height of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent is at the front of the tent, and the lowest height is at the back of the tent.

This is the side view of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent, which shows that the peak height is at the front, and the lowest height is at the back.

Peak Height

The peak height at the front of the Quechua tent is about 39 inches. Without a mattress inside the tent, I can sit up straight without my head touching the top of the tent.

Lowest Height

The lowest height at the back of the Quechua tent is about 30 inches. Even without a mattress, I cannot sit up straight, and my head touches the top of the Quechua tent.

Dimensions

The length of this Quechua tent measures about 82 inches, while the width measures about 52 inches. The width of the Quechua tent is too small even for a Full-sized mattress.

Mattress Sizing

When I inflated an almost Full-sized Coleman Mattress (73 x 53 inches) inside this Quechua tent, it couldn’t really fit well.

This is what a full-sized camping mattress looks like inside the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent.

This end of the Coleman Mattress is actually bulging out the side of the tent. So, having a Queen inside this tent is definitely out of the question.

Notice that the full-sized camping mattress (pictured above) inside the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent is bulging out the back end of the tent.
Notice that the full-sized camping mattress (pictured above) inside the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent is bulging out the back end of the tent.

This Coleman Mattress is about 8 inches thick, and it honestly felt pretty claustrophobic inside the tent with such a thick mattress.

While I could sit up straight at the center of the tent, my head still touches the top. And at the back of the tent with the lowest height, I couldn’t even sit down properly.

The mattress inside this Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent is about 8 inches thick, which as you might have noticed, doesn't leave me with much livable space.
The mattress inside this Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent is about 8 inches thick, which as you might have noticed, doesn’t leave me with much livable space.

That’s why Decathlon actually recommends a maximum thickness of 2.4 inches.

Here’s what the Quechua Tent looks like with a Klymit Double V pad with 2.5 inches of loft. It’s definitely a lot roomier, and at least I could sit up everywhere inside the tent.

The pad inside this Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent is about 2.5 inches thick, so I'm able to have more livable space inside the tent.
The pad inside this Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent is about 2.5 inches thick, so I’m able to have more livable space inside the tent.

Also, while the Coleman Mattress I used earlier was almost a Full-size, this Klymit Double V (74 x 47 inches) is just slightly bigger than 2 regular pads put together, so it fit perfectly.

This is what a double pad or 2 regular sleeping pads put together inside the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent will look like.

Here’s 2 more things to take note of. First, the fabric of the main tent body droops downwards quite a bit, with minimal contact with the rainfly.

The inner tent body of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent droops downwards a little.
The inner tent body of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent droops downwards a little.

This reduces the likelihood of condensation forming on the tent body, but it also makes the tent feel a little more claustrophobic than it actually is.

Also, there’s no vestibule, so if you leave your shoes out, it will get wet if it rains.

Comfort & Features

Door

This Quechua 2 Seconds Tent has a single door at the front of the tent, measuring about 41 inches in width, and about 36 inches in length.

This is a picture of me zipping up the green door of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent.

You can zip up this green door entirely without having to zip up the inner white fabric.

Window

If you find it a bit stuffy, and you don’t want to use the door, you can just zip up the white inner fabric instead, and this will give you a small window for more ventilation.

If you don't want to use the door of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent, you can use this window instead.
If you don’t want to use the door of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent, you can use this window instead.

This window measures about 31 inches in length and about 8 inches in width.

If you want to zip the door up though, you first have to unzip the window. Both the outer green door and the inner white window have 2 zips each, and both can be zipped open and closed from both the inside and the outside.

If you want to leave the door of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent open, you can tie up the door fabric with this door latch here.

Storage

There are 2 pockets in the entire tent, both near the front of the tent, one on each side of the tent. Each pocket measures about 7 by 6 inches.

There’s also 1 lantern loop at the back of the tent, where you can hang a small lantern, like a Black Diamond Moji.

Once, when I went camping, I forgot to take the lantern down, and it just rolled out nicely while I was packing this tent up.

Ventilation

Vents

For ventilation, there’s only 1 vent in this Quechua tent, which is a rear vent.

Spaces

There are also 2 spaces in the rainfly here, 1 on each length of the tent, which open up to the main body of the tent.

Right at the bottom of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent, you'll find 2 of these spaces in the rainfly for a little bit more breathability. Don't worry, no water will get into the tent through these spaces.

Door

Also, if you leave the green door open, you’ll get some ventilation through the mesh of the window.

Rainy Day

However, on a rainy day, you do have to close the outer green door entirely, or water will get into your tent for sure. You can leave the rear vent open though, and no water will get in. Also, no water will get into your tent through the 2 spaces in the rainfly.

Condensation Test

To test for condensation, I slept in this Quechua tent on my own overnight, and closed both the window and door.

This is a picture of me inside my Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent at night. I'm zipping up the door.

The airflow inside the tent is definitely limited, and it was a bit warmer and stuffier inside the tent than it was outside. But not unbearable.

When I woke up the next morning, the walls of the Quechua tent were completely dry, but I did notice a few drops of condensation on the roof of the tent.

Here's the few drops of condensation I found inside the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent after sleeping in it on my own overnight.

It would probably be worse with 2 people inside the tent though.

Rain Protection

Rainfly

The polyester rainfly has 2,000 millimeters of water resistance, and provides full coverage protection from the rain. I checked the rainfly seams, and they all seem to be taped.

This is a picture of one of the rainfly seams of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent, which has been factory taped.

The Quechua 2 Seconds Tent has a curved roof, so water doesn’t collect at the top and instead drips down.

This is a picture of my Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent in the rain. Notice that the water drips downwards, and there's no pooling issue.

Flooring

The Quechua 2 Seconds Tent has flooring made of polyethylene, with 5,000 millimeters of water resistance. It has a bathtub feature that extends up to about 5 inches high. I found this especially useful in case there’s minor flooding.

This is a picture of me using a tape measure to measure the height of the bathtub flooring of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent.

But here’s the problem.

At the 2 corners at the back of the tent, there are these seams. They have been factory taped, as you can see here, but because this is a very old tent of mine, and I never re-sealed these seams on my own, a little bit of water started leaking into the tent at around 30 minutes in.

During my heavy rain test of this Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent, I noticed that water started leaking through these seams at the back of the tent.

It’s just a small trickle of water though, nothing too serious.

There are also seams at the front of the tent, but these weren’t as worn out and didn’t let water in.

Vents

This 2 Seconds Tent has 1 rear vent, and 2 gaps in the rainfly, 1 on each length of the tent, for more ventilation. During the rain test, no water leaked into the tent through the rear vent and the 2 gaps in the rainfly.

I even left the rear vent open once like this, and surprisingly, no water got into the inner tent body.

I accidentally left the rear vent of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent open during one of my rain tests.

Main Body

I checked all the seams on the main tent body and found that none of them were taped, because they’re all fully protected by the rainfly anyway.

This is one of the seams in the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent. This is the seam connecting the tent body to the bathtub flooring, and it hasn't been factory taped, it's just inverted.
This is one of the seams in the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent. This is the seam connecting the tent body to the bathtub flooring, and it hasn’t been factory taped, it’s just inverted.

Only the seams on the bathtub flooring were taped.

Throughout all of my rain tests, from the 1-hour light rain test to the 3-day heavy rain test, I never once found the tent body to be wet. All the walls and the roof stayed completely dry because the protection from the rainfly is just that good.

Rain Test

I put this Quechua 2 Seconds Tent through a whopping 3 days of heavy afternoon thunderstorms, where it was raining for about 3 hours a day, and it held up surprisingly well.

This is a picture of my Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent in my yard. This was one of my heaviest rain tests; notice that half my yard has been flooded by the constant rainfall.

Apart from a little bit of leaking from the back corner seam because of the light flooding, the rest of the tent body was remarkably dry. The rainfly protected the entire tent really well and I didn’t notice any seeping of water through the rainfly, at all. I was actually really surprised at how well it held up to rain.

Wind Protection

For wind protection, this Quechua tent has 7 guylines, 1 for the rear vent and 6 for tent body support. When I guyed out the entire tent, it was super stable even when I tried to shake it quite vigorously.

This is a picture of the front of my Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent fully guyed out with the 4 guylines. I was trying to shake it to test how sturdy it is.

I didn’t actually test for wind protection, but I’m pretty sure this tent can take quite a beating.

Quality

For quality, I found the Quechua tent to be pretty high quality.

Flooring and Rainfly

The polyethylene bathtub flooring feels quite thick and rugged, and so does the rainfly, which is made of polyester.

Tent Body

The inner tent body is also made of polyester, but is quite a bit thinner, as you can see here, but I had no issues with it.

Stitching

The stitching all throughout the tent is double stitched and consistent. I didn’t notice any loose threads at all in the tent.

Zippers

The zippers don’t feel super smooth, but they are quite catch-free, so unzipping the outer green door and inner window was pretty much a breeze.

Poles

The poles are made of fiberglass, and over the past few years of light usage, they’re still going strong. None of the poles have broken on me so far.

This is how thick the poles of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent are.

Carry Bag

The carry bag is made of polyester and comes with pockets for your stakes and guylines. It’s the perfect size for the packed up Quechua tent, and I never had any issues trying to fit the tent back in.

Portability

Packed Size

This Quechua 2 Seconds Tent has a packed size of 26 by 26 by 6 inches. For a size comparison, here’s what it looks like beside a Coleman 2-Person Sundome Tent, as well as a 32-ounce Nalgene bottle.

Weight

It weighs about 5.4 pounds for just the tent and carry bag alone, without the stakes.

Ease of Carry

The carry bag comes with both a handle at the top, as well as a shoulder strap for easy carry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

For pros, I think the biggest one is that it’s super storm proof. I put this Quechua 2-Seconds Tent through 3 days of heavy afternoon thunderstorms, and no more than a few drops of water leaked into the tent.

This is a picture of my Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent logo in heavy rain.

It’s also super, super sturdy when fully guyed out.

It’s also very user-friendly, it pops open in 30 seconds, and if you wanna stake and guy it out, the full set up takes only 2.5 minutes. The pack up is guided, so you won’t struggle with it, and takes just 2.5 minutes as well.

Notice that the pack up of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent is guided with color-coded buckles and straps.

I also found the materials high quality, and it’s pretty inexpensive for a good quality 2-person pop-up tent.

Cons

As for cons, I think the biggest one is that ventilation is limited on both hot and rainy days. The green rainfly is not removable, it’s full coverage, there are very few vents, and very little mesh on the inner tent body.

This is what the Quechua 2 seconds Pop Up Tent looks like from the inside. As you might have noticed, there's not a lot of mesh.

Also, the base area isn’t very big. A full-sized mattress bulges out the back of the tent, and you can fit only 2 pads with a little leftover space. To be able to fit a full or queen mattress, you have to get the 3-person version instead.

This is a picture of me using a tape measure to measure the base dimensions of the Quechua 2 Seconds Pop Up Tent.

Recommendation

Overall, I really like this tent despite the limited ventilation. I’ve had this pop-up tent for many years now, I really do think that Decathlon makes great products, and there is no other pop-up tent in the market that can beat the rain and wind protection of this tent.
