Great tent, can’t stand up straight but hardly crouching in there (I’m 6”1). Loadsa space for two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still get a pair of wellies between the outer and inner door though. Used it at the last Bestival when it was ludicrously hot and was able to sleep in till 10-11ish every day. A 3 man is definitely too small for 2 people plus gear though, and it's not particularly long so beware if you're tall! You'd get two people in it to sleep but as per the comments above need a separate tent for your clobber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's the one. My partner's quite short so could stand up with ease. I couldn't stand up fully at 5 ft 10 but only a slight crouch really.

There is a new version of the Air Seconds 4 with some slight differences which is still about £200 if you were expecting £120..... ;( Edited January 8, 2020 by Copperface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incident Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 One thing I'd suggest is that if the current models aren't exactly what you need, they usually launch the new models fairly late on - around Easter - so there may well be more options on the way.

The newer XL models have a porch - I own the non fresh & black XL from a few years ago, and it is handy to have the extra space. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/2-seconds-2xl-freshblack-id_8492483.html The only reason I've not made the upgrade yet is because I'm not sure if I actually want a blackout tent - I like it being light in my tent in the morning, so I can see what I'm doing! Also it seems like they've annoyingly removed the ability to pull the back of the tent up for extra ventilation - one of my favourite features of the Quechuas.

Is this the XL version? I believe its the exact same one I have. Fantastic tent. A little bit heavy to carry but so much room and space and its very cool inside. The porch is big enough for 2 chairs to sit in and not get wet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure ... if memory serves me correct it’s on the heavy side at 12kg ... but as it gets taken in in a bike trailer it’s not so bad ... was a black fri deal the year before last ... they didn’t seem to run the offers in the year just gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even just being able to kneel up while changing has been fantastic. You actually get to stretch out a bit before leaving the tent on your hands and knees.

incident Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 So.. For anyone who likes the idea of a tent that pretty much pops up, but don't want to carry a large disc around it looks like this is on the way next month. The initial model is a shade too small for me, but I guess if people buy it then larger variants may follow next year https://www.decathlon.co.uk/2-sec-easy-fresh-black-2p-id_8553541.html https://www.decathlon.fr/landing/2-seconds-easy-quechua/_/R-a-2-seconds-easy And a video of it going up and down: (skip to about 25 seconds in) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelarmy Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 It’s not the putting up part that’s going to sell it to people, it’s the time it takes to take it down. If I didn’t already have a fresh and black tent I’d definitely pick one of these up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
