So there is nothing really “hydraulic” here, but the setup is indeed fast and easy, so I have included it in my list of best instant camping tents. Decathlon popularised the pop-up tent and revolutionised festival camping, but those early designs, while easy to put up, were extremely difficult to fold away again. Thankfully, the design has evolved and, while it’s still incredibly simple to pitch, it can also be put away without (much) swearing. Courtesy of colour coded straps and clips, it’s easy to fold the tent in half, after which a pull cord system then holds everything in place while you fold it again to fit the bag. It’s still a faff, but so much easier than previous versions. They have added an extra pole that creates a small awning above one of the doors, so you can keep one of the windows partly open probably most of the time. Materials

You’ll want to take an eye mask if you plan on sleeping past dawn as it is very light in the mornings – but you’re using it for adventure, rather than sleeping off festival excesses. Pop up tents are all about convenience, so getting them up and down in good time and without frustration is a key part of what makes them good or bad. Regarding the weight, in view of its 13.5 lb (6.12 kg), the tent can be described as a bit heavy for its floor area, but it is tall so there is lots of material, and you also have its instant features that imply more metal parts.

This is both good and bad. The good is that you have poles from outside, this is sometimes described as a dry setup, and this means you can pitch this tent even when it is raining and its inner space will remain protected. The bad is that condensation can be an issue with such construction. Ventilation A handy rule of thumb is to subtract one person (or two people if you have a lot of stuff) from the number listed. This means if there are two of you (for example) you'd probably be best suited to a three-person tent. 2) Look for air vents and consider their size and quality Once you’ve kitted your kids out with a pop-up tent, make sure they also have a warm and comfortable sleeping bag to snuggle down in. Our kids’ sleeping bags are the perfect size to make your kids feel cosy throughout the night. We have kids’ sleeping bags for any climate, including our mummy-style sleeping bags for those colder nights and envelope style sleeping bags in various colours and fun prints. Five things to look for when buying a pop up tent 1) Be wary of how many people supposedly fit in the tent

The outer fabric is made from silicone coated ripstop that will survive any weather and there are two doors with mosquito net protection, so you can avoid clambering over people in the night. With such walls, with windows on all 4 doors, and with a peak height of 76.75 inches (195 cm), this is a tall and pleasant construction with lots of volume inside. Note that the windows are with mesh and zippered panels.These are the only 2-layer areas in this tent, so this is a single-layer tent. The tent has doors on all sides. This is quite unusual to see, and frankly, I do not see the point of so many doors for such a single-room tent. The picture below shows how it looks with two of the doors open. As you realize from the pictures, the walls are steep and almost straight, so I would put it in the group of cabin tents. Cabin style design with steep and almost straight walls.
