Summer Buyer's Guide 2019: Quechua

Established over 40 years ago and inventors of products such as the pop-up tent, Quechua – the own-brand tents of French retail giant Decathlon – aims to deliver great quality camping products at affordable prices.

The popularity of the tents is thanks, in no small part, to their excellent value for money. But it’s not all about price. Quechua tents always have interesting design features, including Fresh&Black technology, a brilliant feature for summer camping at home or abroad.

Designed to keep the tent cool in the hottest temperatures, the fabric reflects heat away from the tent and the darkened material physically blocks the sun’s rays.

New for this summer, Decathlon’s most popular inflatable tent was re-created with Fresh&Black blackout technology.

The value-for-money Quechua Air Seconds 4.1XL inflatable was the go-to tent in the range last year. And with the new Fresh&Black version, you now have the choice to camp with more comfort thanks to heat reflecting fabric and blackout bedrooms boasting 99% darkness. 

The Quechua 2019 range also caters for larger families; the popular six-man Air Seconds 6.3 XL Fresh&Black inflatable tent is perfect for those looking for additional room.

Summer Highlights

• Fresh&Black blackout technology with 99% darkened bedrooms
• Ti02 coated outer fabric blocking UV rays and preventing overheating
• UPF 50+ sun protection
• Pre-assembled all-in-1 construction with ultra-fast assembly/disassembly
