2 Seconds Pop Up Fresh & Black Camping Tent 3 Person

We bought this last year as a last minute purchase before a camping trip. We chose this model specifically for the blackout feature as camping with little people. My son and I were in my Mountain Hardware geodesic (great tent itself) standard tent. We both woke at silly o'clock, whilst my wife and 3yo slept through until much later... And that has happened time and time again. When my son and I tried it... same result. It's easy to pitch and put away, supremely thought out bit of kit - well done Quechua. Only negative for me, as with all these style tents, you can't backpack with them due to the size when put away.

The black out is great and keeps the tent fresh, easy to put up and easy to collapse takes no time at all

Spacious for two. Cavernous for one. Good space around doorway for stashing shoes, waterbottles, etc. under cover. Only slight comment against is that you don't know when it is morning! The blackout is very efficient. Reflects heat and keeps pretty cool inside, as long as the door is not open and facing the sun

I bought the 3 person blackout pop up tent for a festival and easily put it up and down without help. It is luxurious for 1 or fine for 2 people but like most tents wouldn't actually fit 3 adults in unless you had no stuff or airbeds! It rained and it stayed dry. Nice to have a double skin on a pop up. It is actually quite dark inside in the morning which is nice. My only feedback would be that it would be useful to have more loops inside to hang things from and some way to peg down the front middle of the tent. Happy with it though and would encourage others to buy it.

These tents are fab and remarkably robust. I work in events and someone dropped a pallet load of steel deck on mine. After we cleared the deck the tent popped up as if nothing had happened. Even had a few holes however weirdly didn’t leak when it rained. Well worth the money and keeps you super cool on hot days.

I bought this tent for my two teen daughters to share. With two airbeds and all their stuff, there was still enough room. The Fresh and Black coating was tested to the max on a very hot and sunny weekend in North Wales. Their tent was much cooler and darker than mine! It was very quick and easy to pitch. A little bit trickier to get back into the bag but I'm sure we'll get the knack next time. All in all, a great value tent with great technical features. I am now looking at a bigger version for myself!

Having owned tents of all values this has to be up there, quality bit of kit.

Time equals money, this tent is somple to put up, a real joy, 100% recommend

Really pleased with this. Very easy to put up and just as easy to put down with simple step by step guide and colour coded tags. Would definitely recommend. Bought the 3 person which is very spacious ideal for two people with enough room for bags etc.

I have had this tent for about a year now, and can offer a considered review. I bought it for use in the garden, and occasional car trips, and it has proved excellent. Putting up is dead easy - a realistic time is 2-3 minutes, including the minimum number of pegs (4 in my opinion). Taking down is like wrestling an octopus, and I am sure I will break it one day. The tent does live up to its name - keeps out the light wonderfully, even during daylight. Not black, but easily dark enough to carry on sleeping. It is also quite cool. Downsides (I knew of these before buying, so didn't downrate) - it is not for the tallest of people. I am 6ft and find it ok, but taller might struggle. There is no porch, so gear will need to come inside. I bought the 3 man for me and my dog, and it is ample.

This tent is not just easy and quick to set-up and set-down it offers something that not many tents out there offers - a Pitch Black environment for sleeping!

I bought this tent with the sole purpose of taking it on a 4 week trip to Southern Africa. The tent is a fantastic piece of engineering and very well thought out. It takes a few attempts to master the re-packing, but once you've got it mastered its OK. We experienced temperature changes of +4C to 39C. The tent was fantastic at keeping the tent cool during the heat of the day. It was considerably cooler inside, than the outside air temperature. But I found the tent has a major weakness in that the outside entrance zip is not substantial enough. We found after a couple of weeks the zip starting to stick and became difficult to open and close. Everyday we would clean the zip with fresh water, but the problem became worse and by the third week the zip failed. The zip fitted in this tent is not strong enough. I appreciate that this is not an expensive tent, but for the sake of a few pence, why not put a stronger zip in. Sadly I will have to return the tent for either repair or replacement as it is no longer useable.
