Would it be accurate to say Decathlon is the French version of Columbia? Seems like a similar price point at least.
I got my first Decathlon piece last year, Forclaz 100 puffy for 80$, and so far so good.
- digdugdirk 4y agoI've always considered it the European REI/MEC, albeit a bit on the cheaper end. For some reason outdoor gear in the US seems to go from low quality Walmart stuff straight to high end more boutique brands, skipping a "high volume, durable quality, no need for ultra-technical specs" solid affordability zone that Decathlon seems to operate in.
- superhuzza 4y agoNot really, Decathlon is much more focused on sports gear, for just about any sport you can think of. You could go to decathlon and pick up a tent, hiking clothes, a climbing rope, a kayak, protein powder and running shoes all in the same store. As mentioned in the other comment, the closest thing I can think of is REI, but with significantly cheaper options.
