In this video I'll go through a dozen items that are generally far cheaper at Decathlon than anywhere else. This includes cheap backpacking gear, inexpensive camping gear, and even some budget gear I use when hunting or skiing. From outerwear to backpacks, this is the kind of staple gear that is useful for all kinds of outdoor adventures, and it won't break the bank!

Thanks Decathlon for sponsoring basically my whole country, Spain, nature life. You just need to go to whatever summer festival and you will encounter literally thousands of Quechua tents all over the place. We young people owe them everything for bringing all kind of nature and sports equipment to the tighter budgets.
Same here in France 😅
I know what you mean! When we lived in France and my kids had their first sortie scolaire and I saw all the kids with the exact same Quechua backpack, I realized something was up! 😂 We then got the same backpacks for my kids and I understood why it was this way when I saw they only cost 3 EUR each!
used to work at decathlon, can say they treat their employees really well
Great to hear!
They are all into what they are selling, bikes, hunting, fishing etc. Those in the isle know their subject.
We have this brand in France for decades now, i used to work with the HQ and they are trully passionate people, they have the best product engineers on the planet who are always looking for new techniques to have incredibly durable products with the lowest price possible.
They have pushed this philosophy to the point of reducing the number of steps on the assembly line of their bags to put more money into the quality of the fabrics used.
I'm really glad you are enjoying this brand, its our national treasure.
That is awesome to hear! I discovered it while living in France myself for several years and came to really appreciate the balance of quality and price. It really is an amazing French company.
Good to hear from an employee. I have been using their stuff for years. The tent instructions and colour coded everything is simply amazing and puts my more expensive tent instructions to shame.
When ever I go into a Decathalon I come out with just so much stuff!!!
the decathlon research center is in the Alps and the gear are tested in real conditions by people with feedbacks (not too far from Chamonix), the Forclaz line is named after the mountain near Annecy ( it s also a massive international paragliding spot over the lake).
90% of the kids of the region are using decathlon sportwear ( cheap and good enough for them), casual/mid range users are using decathlon too. clothing are good up to very good level.
as for the hardware (ski,snowboards, bikes and so on) , i would pick specialized brands tho if i had a good/very good level in a sport.
Good advice, thanks for sharing.
Totally agree, especially now that Decathlon is developing its range to the higher end. What I like to do is to get some key items from specialized brands' outlets. For instance I got a really nice rain jacket from Salomon for 50€ instead of 150€, and treated myself with a Maap cycling jersey for 65€ instead of 140€. You can even hunt at Decathlon at the end of winter / end of summer to get deals around -20 -30% on already really good value products.
And now they rebranded Forclaz to Simond which is the only downside of Decathlon: they keep changing brands every 3-4 years. I've been shopping from them for over a decade and witnessed this many times. Kalenji, Kiprun, Evadict... they changed their running brand at least 3 times. :)
I love Decathlon because it enables a lot of people to get the gear to get outside. And if you find you really like going outside you can slowly save up to any gear you want to upgrade, but for the first few years you're golden with their stuff, if not forever.
Totally agree.
I'm more of a traveller backpacker but there's some overlaps. Two items I really like from Decathlon is their clothes line which is similar to the Sea to Summit one, half the price and about twice as long. It just wraps around two points such as trees. Great for drying out wet clothes and its very durable. Another is the ultralight toiletries bag. I hadn't found one that quite suited my needs as all were too big and bulky and the ultra sil ones were absurdly expensive.
Nice! I'm gonna check those two things out. I'm right there with you on toiletries bags.
Same love for Decathlon gear, here in the Netherlands also.
I've got the same down jacket, works perfect.
If you are actually into rock climbing and therefore wear a climbing harness, you'll find that the more expensive jackets perform a bit better.
As in, they will still cover your lower back and you can stretch out your arms fully upwards, without the sleeves creeping past your wrists towards your elbow.
But for any other outdoor scenario, hiking, camping et cetera, the Decathlon MT100 works perfect.
The insulation it offers is on par with f.i. a British 'Rab' down jacket (with the same amount of down).
The Decathlon jacket is only a quarter of the Rab price though.
That's awesome, thanks for sharing your experience.
Where does one do rockclimbing in nl?
To be honest, nowhere. It's the 'Nether'lands for a reason. Only artificial options available. Old stone bridge pillars, concrete structures, old brick houses. Belgium and Luxembourg are the closest options for any real rock.
I've got the Simond Alpinism Light down jacket, also from Decathlon. It is just 10 or 20 euro more expensive than the Forclaz, but has all of those caracteristics you're talking about - covers the lower back quite well, has enough length in the sleeves. I love it!
Appreciate your knowledge and input - as I'm trying to stretch my pension money for a trip to the Balkans 🙏
Love their down jackets. Bought one for myself and I liked it so much I bought one for
My mom, dad, and brother. Solid brand with a lot of solid gear.
Amen to that.
Just a tip if your ever going to buy something look in an op shop (thrift store) first. Just picked up an inflatable pillow for 3 aussie dollars. Saw a lot of cheap sleeping mats and bags as well.
Great tip! You just gave me a good video idea. Thanks.
i'm watching while wearing the mh 500 hiking pants which are great, i also have some micro fleece sweaters with half zip and feel really soft and warm and only cost £10 ($12,70) i couldn't understand why a tee shirt would cost $50 in merino wool but after buying and totally falling in love with merino wool clothing everything i wear now is merino except my underwear which is bamboo fibre, i love all your videos keep up the great work sir
And thank you, much appreciated! Good call on those pants. Cheers.
They also have great merino underwear at decathlon....
I buy most of my gear in Decathlon and l love it. I use and abuse my Forclaz Mt 500 50 + 10 l backpack and it's very good.
Good to know. I'm looking forward to using mine soon.
I live in Europe and when I first moved here I was amazed at the quality and cost of camping/hiking gear at Decathlon. I have those exact hiking pants, they are awesome! I'm actually headed there this morning.
The best!
I’m excited, I noticed yesterday my local Walmart had just stocked a new brand I had not heard of and it’s this brand. Glad to hear it’s a pretty decent brand. I’ll have to check their stuff out
That's awesome! Ya, I've noticed Decathlon has been selling some gear through Walmart here in the US. Not a bad option.
starting at the intro, at least in germany some supermarkets and discounters have "camping equipment" in stock every Spring/Summer to sell cheap stuff to people who whant to go camping on a budget/and or want to go onto open air festivals. I got a goow working sittingpat for 1.5€ (whch is roughly the same in $$) and much more... sometimes its just cheap or trashy but some things you can't go wrong with.
Very cool, thanks for sharing.
i have one of their 50L backpacks, have had it for 10 years and it still works great
Awesome!
I absolutely love Decathlon. I got some Solognac pants 4 years ago, used them for trekking, fishing, at the range, playing airsoft, literally everything and they're holding on perfectly. For like 12€
Right on.
Those $40 merino tshirts are amazing! I have 4 of them and love them, particularly for travelling. I also have pretty much just about everything youve shown in the video.
Totally agree! We probably look the same in the airport. Haha
Totally agree. I have circa half of these suggested items and they work well.
Great minds.
Circa means approximately when referring to a date only.
@@hendrixinfinity3992 It's a latin word _not_ refering to a date only. Anyway, you got the point.
@@tj8499 it's called a loan word, and in English it's used to approximate the date. Last time I checked that's the language we're using. If you had said 'approximately' or 'around' then I would have got your meaning sooner.
This is why using a thesaurus is not the same as having a good vocabulary. Using fancy words imprecisely makes you look silly.
@@hendrixinfinity3992 Thanks for the explanation. I think it depends on the language. In my country (not US/UK) it is also called "a loan word" but the meaning is the same as in origin (latin). Next time I'll use something less sophisticated ;P
I bought the 50+10 backpack last year for a 3 day hike. I had it on my back for 10+ hrs/day with 20+ lbs of gear I like it a lot though I could feel some pain from the alu frame on my lower back/hips. Maybe just a fitting issue.
Nice. I'm looking forward to giving it a go.
Enjoyed the video. I would say one of the cons of that chair is weight limit. If you're a taller and/or bigger person it maxes at 242 lbs. Nice price, but I'd want to sit around 225 at most to sit in it.
True about the weight limit, but I haven't seen a lightweight chair that advertises more than 250 pounds or so. Do you know of any?
Thanks for sharing, the down jacket seems amazing for indeed 1/4 of the price of the other ones
It really is!
@@outdoorempirecom bought it for myself and mom. Hasnt arrived yet but im sure it will be great 💙
moj ulubiony sklep , kupuje tam cały sprzęt na wyprawy , super film 👍
Super, dzięki za obejrzenie!
With the down jacket it’s worth paying the extra for the Patagonia because it’s a buy it for life item. They will either repair or replace it for free even if you bought the jacket used. I see you have a rip in your jacket would that mean you would need to spend another $100 to replace it? Same goes for osprey backpack. Just something to think about.
the backpacks are incredibly good I had mines for about 3 years and solid pretty regular use before the zip broke
Nice!
I like Decathlon too. I buy many things there, not only for outdoor activity, but also for everyday use. They have really comfort and well designed shoes. Durable too! I use some of them since 2016 and they are still in one piece, not destroyed or anything.
I bought expensive Asolo hiking boots and they just shunted after two seasons. Then I bought Salomons. The same situation. Never again expensive and shitty shoes. Only Decathlon ❤
That's awesome, thanks for sharing!
The thing with osprey packs is you get a lifetime warranty on them so your not just buying the brand but a piece of mind that you can get it replaced or fixed easily
Indeed, a lifetime warranty is a great thing. Decathlon offers a lifetime warranty on most of their gear too, including backpacking packs.
Decathlon and Lidl is where i get all my gear and I never had any problems. 90 euros for a sleepingbagg of comfort rating -2 at decatlon and a tarp. And I got a camping hammock witch included tree straps and it has a net against mosquitos for 30 at lidl. just like my 40L backpack for 40
Awesome, love those stores.
Im trying to start a collection of winter camping gear. I know I should start buying the larger gear first before i decide on a backpack. However, Im wondering if you might have any suggestions to consider on a budget pack that would fit my tent stove, the kind with the roll up sheet metal chimney, a 0 degree teton quilted sleeping bag that your recommended, and say maybe the stove hut 2 person hot tent that you reviewed. Im thinking about going with the stovehut or the polomy leo 2 hot tent which is also pretty compact for a hot tent and looks like it will fair well in the wind and weather, although it says it weighs 10lbs which is also the weight of my tent stove. Im not really sure if winter tent stove camping can be backpacking compatible or if its more for car camping.
I think there are guys who backpack with a tent stove, but usually with those super small foldable titanium ones to save weight and bulk. From the sound of it, that's some decent gear to start with that would be great for car camping. You could certainly pack it in some place, but start with some short distances because once you add your other stuff, it's gonna be a lot of weight and bulk. And you'll need a solid sleeping pad with a good R value, just as important as a sleeping bag. If you want to try and stuff all that in a backpack, you'll need a pack with a lot of volume (probably 60-70 liters). Decathlon has some cheaper packs that might do the trick, but so does Teton Sports and perhaps some other budget friendly brands. Good luck!
@@outdoorempirecom Thanks! Solid advice as always.
The forclaz trek pad is double of the weight tho. Maybe it doesnt matter to you, but those small details are what makes the difference
Good catch.
Living in the vicinity of their first stores they opened in Germany - back in the 90s. Frequent buyer of their stuff. Their house-brands see a reliable, durable quality with no-nonsense designs and no marketing uplift on the price. They might not look super "a la mode" today - thus they do not look super outdated in a few years ...
Very good points.
Great call!
I love decathlon for the basic stuff that i can get qway with buying cheap and dont have to rely on in the mountains for my comfort. I would still buy my backpqcks from osprey, sleep mats from thermarest, and bags from rab because im okay to pay more for the lightweight higher performance items. I can save money on the baselayers, drybags, water bottles etc. from decathlon.
That sounds like a good philosophy to me.
Interesting that you mentioned Thermorest as I've been searching for a pad and the YT comments section is littered with stories about faulty air valves. Not funny when you're outback. I'm probably going with the MT900 with a R5 rating. Yeah it's not the lightest but I'm travelling on my Beast model 125 Honda
I was in Decathlon Roanne today. Bought my waterproof trousers. - The cash register sound gets tiring real quick.
Thanks for the feedback. Will try to do better next time.
...I live in Taiwan and can order decathlon items directly from China and then they are often even half of the price, if u buy unbranded from one of the manufacturers who produce for them... even get products who didn't pass quality checks because a stitch is not 100% right or so...
Dang, that's a sweet pro tip!
@theoutdoorempire but need to compare alot on the platform (taobao) and probably more useful if can read chinese.
i found the decathlon yellow inflatable sleeping pad on sale at walmart for $10 !!!
Smokin' deal!
Yes ! much cheaper in my country ! Singapore, but product range not as wide.
Nice! Same in the US, the selection is much more limited than in Europe.
REI Flexlite Air chair regularly goes on sale. I got mine for $50.
Indeed it does. I got mine for $70. Those Decathlon items go on sale pretty often as well.
Oops, didn't know they are so much more expensive in the US, interesting! I have them around the corner and the merino t-shirts sell for € 27,99, thats $ 30,51, and even cheaper in Spain last time I went... def great deal. But hey, Osprey and co are insanely expensive over here and some other stuff isn't even available :( so that's compensatory justice I guess
Indeed, tradeoffs all around. Thanks for sharing that insight. I definitely miss the prices in France compared to the US.
I got a lot of lightweight stuff from china. Almost everything comes from there anyways, so… I can’t afford a 60€ chair, ok?
Chair 10€
Mat 13€
Modular pants 15€
Titanium pot 16€ 1.3L
Titanium cup 10€
Down bag 60€ (I regret this one, not RDS, but it works perfectly).
Lots of little gadgets, accessories, stove , gas canister adapters, etc. though something I wouldn’t save money on is the backpack. It fit my stuff but broke my back. Had to get a proper one from decathlon anyway, so don’t make my mistake.
I also got my sleep system from Norway. No point in the outdoors if I don’t wanna go because I don’t sleep well. So I dished out some cash on the Amok Draumr. Best thing ever. Kinda heavy though. And not cheap. Got the tarp from china so I saved 100€ on thst though
Nice list, thanks for sharing!
Only nothing is checked for safety. I would sweat using a non checked stove...
@@lidewijvos you'd be surprised if I showed you lots of stuff you see on Amazon and Walmart being sold directly from china, through whatever supplier/store/app. You'd see so much stuff is just bought from mass production lines and stamped/engraved with a random brand label. The BRS stove that so many people use is a perfect example of that.
I have a problem with their LW pad. It’s not warm at all and everyone gets punctures. For an actually good rectangular pad, get the AMOK Fjol.
Good to know. So far so good on mine.
I'd add that it is very uncomfortable for an adult, specially if you are a side sleeper. I can't stress enoguh that this is a bad buy and it pays off buying a propper high quality sleeping pad
I have a heavier one, due to old back injuries I can't use the thinner pads (just kills me in the morning). Decathlon ones for that have been the best I've found so far, many uses without punctures... but it's got some weight to it.
@@josephmonk9041 glad you didn’t get punctures like so many orders did. And yeah my Amok fjol is the same style as the decathlon LW and for me it’s necessary comfort. 65cm wide should be the standard imho
"that's $6, not $599" 😂
The down jacket might be nice for the price but its not really comparable to the Ghost Whisperer/2 which is one of the lightest on the market or most of the other ones that have much higher puff rating and lighter...
Indeed the Mountain Hardwear is a thoughtful design with a few clever features. But both the Ghost Whisperer 2 and the MT100 use similar 800 fill RDS down. The MH size medium weighs 249g and the Decathlon size large weighs 290g. So we can assume in the same size the weight difference is maybe 20g (0.7 oz) or so? Not much weight savings. The MH has thinner material but it's ripstop, so durability might be similar between the two. But given the weight is so close I imagine the MH may have slightly more insulation. I have a synthetic Ghost Whisperer vest and I love it. But personally, the nuanced differences between the Decathlon and MH puffy jackets aren't worth an extra $260, 3.6 times more than the Decathlon.
Problem with decathlon is that you can buy high-end gear on sale for the same price, and it will be way better. It's good only for folks that starting out and need whole kit NOW, or the folks that know exactly what they are doing (like, trek100 puffy and simond softshell, kalenji underwear, kipsta 500 baselayer, and some other gems i wont remember from the top of my head).
Like why would i need decathlon pants for 50$, when i've got montane terra pants for the same 50$ on seasonal sale (also super terra for 75$, same price as corresponding simond pants)? Dont' tell me it's the same, please. Same way merino wool from icebreaker is singificantly more durable and softer than decathlons, sales are plenty, esp now that winter coming to an end. Why would i need decathlon trail runners when i get topo and saucony every year for the same price on clearance, not like they are going to expire over 6 months in closet till i need them. My osprey exos 58 cost me 143$, that is like, 20$ more expensive than decathlons?
True, if you don't mind shopping sales there are good finds to be found out there.
Doesn't Decathlon have sales too?
@@Gigabajts it has "clearance rack", but no, it doesnt run sales in usual retail sense. Odd 10% off, but that's it.
@@mezmerya5130 Mine does... Maybe it's just the US stores that don't do sales.
I first saw Decatholon in Thailand. I think it's awesome they keep the prices so low especially there so people with limited funds can get some good gear and get outdoors. They had a store in Bangkok not far from the gym I was going and it was always the go to place whenever I needed anything. Those t-shirts look nice. For clothing Eddie Bauer has great stuff when you find the 50-60% sales. And they are of superb quality. You can always tell what kind of person is when you see them head to toe in Arcteryx....😜🤡
Nice! Ya, it's crazy that Decathlon is the biggest outdoor retailer in the world with stores all over, but hardly at all in the US.
The low prices are nice, but it’s good to realize a lot of stuff is made in Bangladesh where they get paid almost nothing and in unsafe work conditions. Something to keep in mind.
@@2649 kinda like Nike doing what they do in China... and tons of other unscrupulous companies. Sucks
@NigelNaughton yes but Bangladesh is known for being even worse conditions. But true a lot of brands make use of the cheap labour costs.
Don't push that onto consumers, many of who are working class and need to save money wherever they can. Lobby for legislation that forces companies to produce their goods ethically without gouging the customer. Profit margins are way out of line on some products.
👍👍👍
Decathlon in Basel, Switzerland, is one of my favourite 'go-to's' when I have an itch for some gear.
Good guarantees and commendable after-sale service.
Well said!
Decathlon is in Ottawa and it’s absolutely great for getting people into the sport or rare use items! Love the place
It really is!
You get perhaps 80% of performance for 40% of price. But in some moments you just need the 100%. Anybody who spent a night in a cheap sleep sack (or was in military) will understand 😀
That's a great rule of thumb. Agreed.
I've not had much I'm in UK but the items I have I'm shocked at quality and everything love fact can buy a strap buckle for your pack if breaks or section of trekking pole great value products all I'm buying now half price and as good or better quality
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Decathlon is great, they have a competitive price, but the quality of products varies. Camping, outdoor brands are great, bicycle or fishing are really terrible for example. I have worked there during college and I have to say, the sportswear has the best quality I've ever seen. I have a 15 year old Artengo shorts, that survived everything so far. Really crazy.
As a european, this even sounds expensive 😅
The down jacket is 59 euro instead of 100usd.. still love the store for a lot of camping stuff
In the nicest way possible, you sound like Owen Wilson lol ... if you could do a "wow" that would be great!
😂 Awesome! I'll see what I can do in a future video.
i am from the netherlands and the prices of decathlon are 30% cheaper here then the U.S prices you shown
The MT100 puffa jacket is currently £35 in the UK ($44usd). Even more of a bargain!
That's an incredible deal!
Low end decathlon back pack have flimsy zipper than tend to break in a year or two of normal use.
If you only use it 3 time a year, why not.
Ya I could see that. I'm hoping the ultralight pack holds up a bit better.
Where are you from?? that prices are x2 compared to Spain
United States. And yes, unfortunately Decathlon does charge much higher prices here compared to Europe and elsewhere.

Getting Ron Svanson vibes 😎
"There's one thing I hate more than lying: skim milk. Which is water that's lying about being milk." - Ron Swanson
It's an honor to even have hinted at such a vibe.
Probably France's greatest modern company
wait you have decathlon in the US ???
Sort of. It's online only except for maybe one or two stores in San Francisco. Which is ironic because that's one of the most wealthy locations in the US. I think Decathlon would do very well in the middle of the country where people appreciate budget-friendly gear more.
I wonder why Decathlon gear is so much more expensive in the US than in Europe... The prices seem to be 30 to 50% higher which is a lot!
I buy Decathlon gear regularly and it's usually ok to good but the price is the deciding factor in 99 out of 100 purchases, if it got as expensive as you have it in the US I'd buy major brands as there's usually a clear gap in comfort, performance and looks.
Ya, it's annoying that they inflate their prices over here. Perhaps there is a bit more cost in tariffs or something, but I think they are simply taking advantage of the market. Their gear is still cheaper than most of our other alternatives here in the US, and it's usually better quality and design than we get from cheap gear off Amazon.
So much cheaper in France and the UK, naturally
Gives you an idea of the price gouging we experience in the US for outdoor gear when Decathlon's inflated prices are still cheaper than elsewhere.
The low prices are nice, but it’s good to realize a lot of stuff is made in Bangladesh where they get paid almost nothing and in unsafe work conditions. Something to keep in mind.
More expensive brands usually do the same.
@lidewijvos some do, a lot don't. And some are worse than others. But yes, also check where it comes from and how it's made with more expensive brands.
and how do you think counties go out of poverty?
It used to be similar in my country thirty years ago, now it got better.
As long as it’s not an authoritarian regime like China or Russia, you are helping poor people when products are made in their countries. More jobs raise the pay and better conditions over time.
They're paid according to local salaries. Almost nothing compare to Western standards,but they have a job and can make ends meet. Take the company away from the country and they don't have a job anymore. Careful with what you wish for...
90% of the big brands produce in the same factories. Big brands dont spend a penny more on production, they only put on a bigger markup.
i start feeling so justified buying mil surp when i hear people talking about backpacks in the hundreds of dollars, and knowing i got my 1000d cordura 82 liter molle 2 large rucksack for $60
Nice!
yea makes sense except if you have moral about down production
They do use certified down similar to other outdoor brands, but I understand not everyone supports that.
Yes sir all my stuff from other people and what i find hiking is freedom you shouldn't have to be a doctor to go hiking to afford it i waste most my money on food im different ty for video
Nice! Thanks for watching.
Yeh, I never leave home without my inflatable boat. 😁
Never know when the floods are gonna show up. 😂
@@outdoorempirecom Cheers! I enjoyed your review and had a good time. Thanks for taking the time.
Just looking for garage sell
Everything is true apart from the chair, 2.2 pounds is insane, that’s a kilogram for a chair. If you can spend $50 less in your entire gear and then put those $50 to get a 1 pound chair I would highly recommend it. Hard to get this kind of weight savings for so little money. (it’s $50 more than the 1kg chair, I’m not saying that the 1 pound chair is $50.)
Not a bad idea.
I cannot get over the exorbitant prices you guys are being charged, examples...foam seat pad €2 (euro) on Aliexpress including free shipping. Inflatable mattress €20 in Lidl. Marino wool items, €5, 10, 15 also in Lidl way cheaper here in Europe. Regards from Ireland 🇮🇪.
Ya, it pains me as well knowing the same stuff is cheaper across the pond. At the same rate, Decathlon gear in the US is still cheaper than our local alternatives.
Going to the mountains is expensive 😂
Oh, the irony.
I wish their clothes (especially their trousers) fit me, but they never do. They’re really good, but I gave up on them years ago & stick to a few manufacturers I know fit me well.
Ya, I hear you there, if something doesn't fit right it's the pits. Not all their clothes fit me, but the ones I mention do. However I do wish those merino t-shirts were longer for my long torso.
I have all those t-shirts, though I am a woman i buy those as they are loose for me. ❤
Nice! They are great shirts.
all that 1000 euro match to expencive all that ,
crazy to think its $500 minimum for a basic backpacking kit
True. And that'd probably be tough to get everything for $500.

W decathlon
Maaaannnn you gotta quit doing such great videos. I got enough hobbies as it is and now I wanna go camping more 😂😂
Go for it! 😂 Thanks, much appreciated!
Ok! Decathlon is great. The ratio quality/price is the best if you remember most of their gear are studied for occasional user. For intense use, most of the time, they become disappointing. Furthermore Decathlon is not has eco friendly than other brand.
Great points, thanks for sharing!
So producing undyed products that save an enormous amount of water is not eco? 😂😂😂
Icebreaker shirts are 100% merino wool (except prints), the decathlon shirts are at best 70% merino, the rest is plastic…
That's true. I just looked it up and Icebreaker Tech Lite shirts are 100% merino whereas the Decathlon t-shirts are 70% merino and 30% acrylic. I still like them though, and the price.
I'd rather pay full price for all of it than listen to that ka-ching one more time.
Haha. Noted. Sorry man, still figuring this CZcams thing out.
Got a point, it’s kinda annoying 😂😂
Great stuff anyways
For begginers....
...on up? 😜
Do you know about aliexpress ? lol
Haha yes, but I like this better.
Dead Decathlon: please stop using “500” in so many products.
I find it so confusing.
Dear Customer, you're right but probably not gonna happen. - Decathlon 😂
some are cheap and most doesnt last. Buy based on type of usage and duration period.
I have several Decathlon items going on 7 years now and still serving me well.
Made by labour with low wage
Indeed a concern.
Video is like “sure, I could buy a Lamborghini, but I can buy a Toyota and save £250,000!! Or a Bugatti, and save 1 million!”
I actually drive a Hyundai. The Lambo's in the shop.
An affiliate link.......equals.......drum rolls.....a frickin sponsor. Are people stupid enough to follow this? And one more thing.......I can more than DOUBLE your savings if you ask me. Same basic gear!!! Dude......stop it!!!
Thanks for stopping by and for taking the time to comment.
Source your own down so you can see the pain the birds go through
Thanks for stopping by!
Your idea of cheap is ridiculous. I can get Ozark Trail everything and still be cheaper than this. People bitch about the quality but I've never had issues. F- NOT CHEAP!!!
Thanks for stopping by!
@@outdoorempirecom your welcome 😄, Thanks for handling my aggressive comment with tact. 😃
@@Real_Shit_With_J You bet! We're all entitled to our opinions. Take care.
Great video, just cut the register bell next time 😊
Ok, thank you! A couple people mentioned that and I have since dialed that back. Thanks for the feedback.
