The Instant 2-Person Camping Tent – 2 Seconds Fresh & Black will enable you to have your shelter ready in seconds. Forget struggling with poles and confusing manuals: you’ll have comfort in a blink.
With this all-time popular 2 Seconds model, which incorporates the familiar pop-up feature with our innovative Fresh & Black technology, you’ll stay cooler and darker for the best night of sleep possible, whether you’re adventuring alone, having a romantic getaway, or chilling at a music festival.
How to Pitch
The 2 Seconds system is legendary for its simplicity. The tent is pre-assembled, with poles already attached to the fabric. There is nothing to thread, nothing to connect.
How to pitch:
-
Remove the tent from its cover.
-
Take off the yellow strap – the tent starts opening instantly.
-
Remove the buckles (2 blue and 2 red).
-
The tent springs into its full shape.
-
Secure with the 10 included pegs.
How to fold: This tent features a guided folding system that makes packing up easier than ever. The intuitive design ensures you can fold the tent back into its compact disc shape without frustration.
Free-standing structure: The tent stands on its own, so you can move it to the perfect spot before pegging it down.
Tech Used
Decathlon innovation: The Fresh & Black technology in our tents (patented by Decathlon) provides an unprecedented level of control to enhance your comfort and ensure a refreshing experience.
Fresh Technology:
The sun’s rays bounce off the reflective fabric of your tent and decrease the rise in internal temperature by half.
You will remain cooler and enjoy more comfort when it is hot.
The structure features an adequate number of mechanical openings.
Black Technology:
Our patented fabric prevents sunbeams from penetrating your tent making it darker inside.
This allows you to sleep longer more peacefully because you will not wake up as soon as the sun goes up. This technology is ideal if you want to continue sleeping longer, if you want to stay in a country which has very light nights or for areas which are naturally warm.
To optimize the performance: ensure that you aerate your tent during the night. Unzip the hatches: you can thus increase the natural ventilation to avoid or to decrease the condensation inside.
More effective ventilation system
New for the 2 Seconds Fresh & Black 2018: an innovative system that has been entirely redesigned: 2 side openings & 1 back opening using our patented zip system.
2 Side open (2 ventilation hatches):
- Unzip the first fabric layer
- Unzip the mesh opening
- Open the patent zip
- 1 back open (1 ventilation hatch):
Open the red zip and slide it on to the opening, then unclip the rear hook and slide the red zip back along the opening. This makes the opening secure against bugs.
Pull down the 2 draw cords.
Waterproofing
The 2 Seconds Fresh & Black has undergone all required water resistance tests and has achieved 15 minutes per m². After 3 hours of exposure under a shower spraying 200 litres of water per hour (the equivalent of a tropical tropical downpour), not a single drop leaked inside, even under an extreme rainfall simulation of 200 mm per hour!
