This month we're taking a look at the Quechua 2 SEC XXL4 Illumin Fresh from Decathlon. A popup family tent with 1 bedroom that is very quick to pitch in approx. 2 minutes, and folds away in less than 5 minutes! This tent's unique features are four built in LED lights with separate switches, and a roof you can completely open to view the stars, plus loads of ventilation points, hence the name!

Thermal insulation: The "Fresh flysheet is exclusive and
patented.It significantly reduces the heat inside a tent in full sun,
thanks to its reflective and low emission properties. It is made up of 3
layers: an outer coating of titanium dioxide, a centre layer of
polyester fabric, and an aluminised layer on the inside. The fabric
reflects back 56% of the sun's energy, absorbs 35% and only allows 9% to
penetrate inside the tent.
Ventilation: 1 ventilation flap behind the bedroom. The
bedroom roof also opens fully. 3 ventilation positions on the sides of
the bedroom: closed, open (protected from rain) and rolled open. All
ventilation flaps are adjustable from inside and outside. The living
area ceiling is totally ventilated. The entrance door has a built-in
upper section which can be opened onto a mosquito net. The flaps at the
base of the flysheet can be attached to leave an air gap. Designed for
condensation-limiting ventilation.
Lighting system: 4 separate switches. 2 "Warm white" LED
bulb. 20 lumens (0.3 watts) per spotlight. Battery case (4xLR6/AA
supplied). Approx. 7h30 battery life for continuous use.
Pitching/folding away: Use pitching trick by positioning and
securing the groundsheet for the whole tent before unfolding it. This
makes it easier to position and pitch the tent properly. Then, it
unfolds and pitches in 2 minutes (see the pitching video). It's quick
and easy to fold away thanks to "EASY" system.
Waterproofing: All Quechua tents are laboratory tested (WHOLE

conditions. (PU coated polyester flysheet, polyethylene 120 g/m²
groundsheet, all seams are waterproofed by thermoformed strips).
breathable polyester room under the flysheet to prevent contact with
droplets of condensation that can form on the interior of the flysheet.
