Product benefits
Polycotton is a polyester and cotton fabric. It improves UV resistance compared to the polyester traditionally used for tents, and therefore extends the lifespan of your tent. It limits condensation and improves thermal insulation and noise, for peaceful nights
How to care for your polycotton tent
The fabric must be thoroughly dry before storing it away to prevent mould. It is also important to keep the fabric clean and to deal with stains as quickly as possible. It is advised to wipe away dust with a soft brush.
How do I set up and take down my tent?
Pull on both ropes on each side of the tent to open its self-supporting structure, and then find the ideal place and drive in the pegs.
To store, remove the pegs, press the two push-buttons, collect the poles and slide into its bag. Easy!
Which type of mattress should you use?
A self-inflating mattress or a 70 cm wide trekking mattress are most recommended.
We advise against the use of inflatable mattresses that are more than 8 cm thick in this tent. The interior volume will be reduced and condensation inside may be more pronounced.
Ventilation of the tent
2 side doors enable maximum ventilation when they are open. A space between the flysheet and the inner bedroom (breathable mesh) is built in to the entire surface of the tent to allow air to circulate and reduce condensation.
How waterproof is it?
To check that it is waterproof, an initial test involves placing it under a water shower at a rate of 200 L per hour for three hours, equivalent to a tropical shower of 200 mm per hour. The second test is done in the field under real-life conditions by our teams.
Is the tent wind-resistant?
This 2 Seconds Easy tent has been tested in a wind tunnel on a rotating platform to expose each of its sides. A properly pitched tent with all guy ropes fitted remains habitable in wind speeds up to 50 km/h measured near the ground (Force 6).
What does the tent contain?
- 1 Pre-assembled bedroom
- 1 waterproof flysheet
- 1 groundsheet to protect your tent
- 12 pegs
- 6 guy ropes
-1 cover

Is the tent repairable?
Over time during use, some parts may wear out or break.
To make it easier to repair, each part (poles, flysheet, bedroom, etc.) is available on the Decathlon website or in the shops. They can be replaced in our workshops or you can do it yourself.
