Décathlon is now marketing an improved version of the 2 Seconds tent that it has developed under its private Quechua label. Heavily advertised, the tent has an ingenious patented mechanism that allows it to open up in only two seconds after throwing it on the floor, but it took a long time to fold it back. The French retailer has now filed two patent applications for a new mechanism whereby a single user can fold it within 15 seconds by pulling a string.
