Durable clothing at
long last

Ah, the long-time love... It must be spending time in the mountains that’s developed this in us. Not for pitching your tent, eh! Here, as you know, we like to count in seconds. But for conserving objects, long may we count in decades and design out obsolescence!

A mountain range can take millions of years to form. So we too, in our own way, are trying to be sustainable. Or more precisely: durable. By making hiking products that will be there for you for as long as possible. And to achieve this, we have more than one trick up our sleeve.

Our new 2 Seconds EASY tent has also been designed to be even more durable. With an emphasis on components and tricks that best protect it from the elements. Because that’s the difficulty of making durable outdoor equipment: it needs to remain intact over the seasons with use, even when the elements are unleashed and do their best to damage it!

By increasing the thickness of the tent canvas, creating a flysheet that counters the effects of condensation and reinforcing the coating of the groundsheet to prevent water infiltration, we’ve managed to make our iconic new tent stronger and more durable than ever. Tests have shown that it can now withstand tropical rain equivalent to 200 litres/hour for 4 hours. And at a wind speed of between 40 and 50km/h, without being brought down.

In short, whatever type of hiker you are and wherever you pitch camp, this tent will be there for you for a long, long time...

And since we really prefer to push for repair rather than consumption, we also offer extra-long warranties for our products. For example, our backpacks are guaranteed for ... 10 years ! During this time, if a zip breaks, a button pops or a seam gives way, don’t put your bag in the bin! Just bring it to us at a Decathlon store and we'll fix it for you. The same goes for our tents, guaranteed between 2 and 5 years depending on the model.

In short, for the more than 20 years that Quechua has existed, we’ve tried to think of everything so you can extend the life of your equipment instead of buying more. Because that’s the advantage of durability: it saves serious money...
