By: Bonnie + Clyde* Reason: I've used one Made in: 2010 Rating: 
Brand new to camping and Decathalon shop assistant, glasgow suggested I use this tent. Brilliant! Easy to put up and put down but need to practise. Woke to some wet weather and tent didn't let me down. It was a brilliant choice and love it. Very roomy inside, copes well with my double air mattress and still room for bits and pieces in tent as well as porch area.

Paid £47 on offer at Lille Decathlon, very helpful staff, liked the idea of extra zippable porch area, very 'convenient' in the middle of the night, easy to pitch on windy Clacton-on-Sea(jaywick)site, Quickly learned how to fold it, used recently at Great Yarmouth, very stable. Loads of room for 2 'peeps' plus 'stuff', sewn in ground sheet kept the bugs out. A thin layer of morning dew was easily shaken off, the XL3 dried off quickly. Have since bought a Vango Icarus 500 for longer (3/4/5+ nights)expeditions, that we can stand up in etc. But will still take and use the Quechua 2 Seconds XL 3 for 1 or 2 night stops or travelling about,or use as a 'pup' tent when away with friends. Off to france in a week, will take both tents.

Just bought one of these from Decathlon and can't be more pleased. Ordered it on Sunday and it was delivered Wednesday! I was reluctant to practice putting it up first time as I heard it can take hours to put down if you don't have the knack and didn't want to become a source of amusement with the neighbours - need not have worried, was up in 2 seconds and down in 20 secs - the instructions and diagram is sewn into the carry bag and very clear, plus the help of watching a few utube movies before-hand to help. Very well made, double skin - pegs supplied to secure the base and 2 guy ropes for additional stability. More than enough room for 2 and has a small front porch area which makes it much more practical than the ordinary Q III versions. Amazing tent and now the envy of all my neighbours.

Bought one earlier this year and used for the first time last week as an 'pup' tent in addition to our family tent - teenage daughter now requiring her own space! I actually slept in this myself for one night to try it out and am very impressed. For a pop up tent, bags of room, very easy to put up, although packing up does require a knack! Stood up to some wet and windy Welsh weather without a problem, although I did use a separate ground sheet underneath and a tarp over the door to provide wind and sun shelter. Will now use this for one stays for me and the dog as so good.

I've just bought one of these, on offer at £44 from Decathlon Merry Hill. I used it for the first time in the Lake District, it was superb! I needed a tent that is quick and easy to put up, because at this time of the year I will be arriving on site after dark. My plan worked, it was up instantly, pegged down, and that was it. They can be tricky to fold back up, so before I bought it I got a shop assistant to show me how to pack it away, he demonstrated it twice and then helped me to do it three times, easy when you've got the knack. Great customer service from Decathlon. I've yet to test the tent in the rain, but it looks very well made so I have every confidence in it.

Ours was a 2 man 'Stormshield' tent by Blacks - very clever Nissen Hut design, separate 'his and hers' entrances and built-in storage each side. Unfortunately, we nearly drowned in the Peaks in May - spent most of the night trying to stretch bin-liners over sleeping bags!
The replacement, after much searching, 2 Second XL 111 is brilliant. XL describes the extra section at the entrance: most people think this is storage space for bags (which it sort of is) but it's actually the perfect bedroom for our Border Terrier. She loves it and keeps sneaking in during the day - it's hers!
It doesn't need guy ropes unless it's windy. We also underlay our tent with a ground-sheet (helps to protect if there's anything sharp underneath). BUT don't allow the sheet to stick out anywhere: it guarantees to form a pool from the water running down the side which can't escape if it rains.

Just purchased one of these for an overnight camp at a garden party. Brilliant. So easy to put up and easy to put away (much easier than the Gelert twisters). Feels pretty substantial too. My Khyam fabric feels a bit flimsy in comparison. Just right for the two of us and great to have the little storage area outside the main area of the tent. So, so easy to get back into the bag too, just remember to check where the yellow strap is though!

We've just come back from the New Forest having spent 4 very comfortable nights in one of these tents despite the first 2 nights being very windy/rainy.
Simplicity itself to erect, slightly more difficult to pack away- but it only took a fool like me one go whilst at the campsite after a couple of practises at home. Check out Quechua's online guide to packing it away on their website.
I imagine it might be a bit snug for 3 people, but for me and the OH it was absolutely fine space-wise.
An excellent tent which I'd recommend to anyone.

These tents are great and there isn't much I can add that hasn't already been said.
I purchased one as I needed accommodation for a friends party so in true form for this site rather than pay for a hotel room I got a tent! I wanted something that would be useful afterwards hence going for the XL 3 as it means I can take my boys off on spur of the moment nights out.
The first time I used it was up in Anglesey on the coast & we had all weathers from sunshine, rain & high winds & it was great.

It's just fantastic for weekends so quick and easy, can't fault it. The only modification/addition I use is to pitch it on top of an extra groundsheet, so that when you fold it up you don't have to fold wet underside of ground sheet onto fly sheet, and so don't have to air it when you get home:-) See photo above of red tent with bit of groundsheet poking out!
