Hi, I do a lot of solo camping and have a great little two-man tent that is perfect, but takes a long time to pitch and strike by myself, so it's really only worth it if I'm at a site for a few days. I'd like to do more of a tour this year and was thinking of getting a two-man pop-up tent to make life quicker and easier, but want something more robust than the little festival tents, as I've heard so many bad things about them. (not waterproof, don't stand up to winds etc.)

Does anyone have any experience with pop-up tents? Any recommendations?

Thank you!

Decathlon Quecha 2 seconds range are excellent and good value. They are double skinned and come in a variety of sizes and colours. Folding down takes a little practice but once mastered isn't a problem. They don't pack down small so aren't much use for hiking.

We also have a couple of the decathlon tents much better than your cheap festival pop up

Another thumbs up for the Decathlon double-skinned pop up tents!

Decathlon pop-ups, the two-man tent I have is easy to fold away, you pull a cord sewn into it and it collapses in seconds.
