As camping gains significant traction across India, Decathlon, one of India's most loved sports brand, celebrates two decades of disruptive product innovation with the iconic 2- Sec Tent. To mark the anniversary of this revolutionary product, Decathlon is unveiling 6 limited-edition vintage colors of the 2- Sec Tent as a tribute to the roots of adventure, the timeless spirit of camping and to the millions of moments campers have experienced under its roof.

Camping has broken free from its old image of being just for seasoned trekkers or survivalists. Authenticity, sustainability, and solitude are the new luxuries, and camping delivers all three. Today, it’s the adventure of choice for India’s young wanderers—especially those aged 25 to 35—who are eager to trade screen time for green time. Whether it’s pitching a tent by the Ganges, waking up in a coffee estate in Coorg, or glamping under the desert stars in Jaisalmer, this new generation of campers is rewriting the rules of travel.

And the destinations? Just as diverse as the country itself. The north offers alpine lakes and pine forests in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Down south, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka tempt with misty hills and spice-scented plantations. Rajasthan’s golden dunes and Maharashtra’s peaceful lakesides now serve as weekend sanctuaries for city souls craving calm.

Camping under the stars sounds magical. But the reality? It often starts with 30 minutes of struggling with tent poles and ends with a sweaty, chaotic attempt to pack it all back before the city calls you home. Even the most passionate campers will tell you that pitching a tent can be surprisingly stressful. Whether you're a first-time adventurer or a weekend regular, the process—from decoding setup diagrams to wrestling with guy lines—can steal the joy from the journey

At DECATHLON, we’ve reimagined the way India camps—combining technical innovation, climate resilience, and ease of use into one breakthrough product: the 2 Sec Tent.

The camping tent market in India is on the rise, and the numbers speak for themselves. According to a recent report by IMARC Group, the Indian camping tent market is projected to reach ₹1128 crore by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.5%. In this growing landscape, Decathlon is poised to command a remarkable 16.4% market share, thanks to one groundbreaking innovation—the 2 Sec Tent, which itself is growing at a CAGR of 10%.

Built for the Wild, Tested for Life: An unmatched connection with Nature.

India’s camping terrain is as diverse as its climate—and we designed this tent to handle it all. With waterproof materials and wind resistance tested at 50 km/hr, the 2 Sec Tent stands strong against surprise showers, sudden gusts, and everything in between.

And because rest is essential to adventure, we’ve added our patented Fresh & Black™ technology. This advanced fabric innovation keeps the tent 100% dark inside, even during the day—ideal for naps after sunrise treks or lazy afternoon retreats. Meanwhile, the “Fresh” feature ensures optimal airflow, keeping the interior cool even in peak heat.

Continuing the Legacy

The 2 Sec pop-up has been transforming camping experiences since 2005. Looking ahead, Decathlon is poised to take the 2 Sec innovation even further—with plans to launch an XL 4-Person Family Tent, designed to bring loved ones together in the great outdoors. Because we believe the best memories are made when there’s room for everyone.

Speaking on the milestone,Sport Director, Decathlon India, Hans Peter JENSEN says, "At Decathlon, our aim is to Move People through the Wonders of Sports. We have democratized the camping experience, breaking down technical barriers and inspiring more spontaneous adventures. The 2 Second tent is more than just a product; it's an icon, a story passed down through generations, perfectly embodying Decathlon's commitment to affordable, technical, and truly innovative design with its incredibly easy setup. For two decades, the 2 Second Tent has helped families worldwide connect with nature, often marking their first step into outdoor sports.

Now, in India, where camping is a rapidly expanding practice experiencing a fast-paced growth, we are confident that millions more Indians will discover the joy of camping, and the 2 Second will continue to make that experience even more enjoyable."
