The description of what they are suitable for is a bit odd. "Designed for occasional hiking on flat and landscaped ground: path, trails, undergrowth."I wish I had got 2 forclaz 100 walking poles. 120cm ball-bearing locks about 190. £4.99 each, would be good for the faux-star. Ultralight ultra cheap with a bit of polycro.
The problem with decathlon trousers is the length, they don't do any long lengths and so they only fit 'average' people, which is rubbish
Tops etc are better as sleeve length varies quite a lot

360g a pair of inov8 terraclaw size 12 are only marginally heavier and are less fuss.
Ive just bought a Quencha MH500 Mountain Hiking fleece.
215g £9.99 I bought size XL but I'd say it is a size small and fits like a large would fit me. Sleeves seem quite long. Perfect to wear under a wind shirt or in sleeping bag. Colour is a lot darker than the pic I think it will have a good weight to warmth ratio because of the structure. not sure how durable it is going to turn out but for me a fleece is for life, not just for Christmas.
My work place is now conveniently located 5 minutes from a Decathlon store.
Can anyone provide recommendations on things they have bought which they rate as good or bad?
Cheers
This is what I'm going to do next time I visit my Son in Sheffield.My last week of working near a Decathlon store so if anyone has any good buys in the last year or so please can you shout up?
I seem to recall a post for waterproof mitts?...
Them mitts are good.
very well made mitts but terrible sizing ----bought size med/large but smaller than my terra nova hand bags size small ----- cuffs so tight can t anything on except very small liner gloves----- just to give an idea -----my hands are small and and my liner gloves are marmot ladies xsmall-----delivery was 2 weeks
That's interesting. I normally wear size L gloves and have both size M/L and XL/2XL, the former is a great fit over thick liner gloves (Rab Power Stretch Pro Contact Gloves in size L) while the latter has room to spare with glove and fleece mittens.very well made mitts but terrible sizing ----bought size med/large but smaller than my terra nova hand bags size small ----- cuffs so tight can t anything on except very small liner gloves----- just to give an idea -----my hands are small and and my liner gloves are marmot ladies xsmall-----delivery was 2 weeks
