I've used their car park in Sheffield many times...

Glad I wasn't there a couple of days ago.

They do exceedingly good sink holes...

It is complete tat! It doesn't really matters what's the price of a product if it's a complete tat, it will still be a tat however much it costs.
Just because it's cheap and has a form of the item doesn't means that it's good value for money , when there's no value to begin with biggrin

There are tons of reviews, including in this thread where people say it's such a good quality clothing for the price,and you get such a value that I thought myself- oh wow that's cool, but the reality is you get what you pay, In this instance- you get even less than you pay.
My whole wardrobe consists of cheap £2-£3 primark tshirts, compared to this stuff- they are just the best quality stuff there is!

waste of earths Resources in my book!
Shame I have to pay to return this junk.

Counting a pair of socks as an item of clothing you got 12 items of clothing for 20 quid.

Including a coat.


You are completely deluded and talking out of your arse.

When Trump takes over and Brexit happens people won't be allowed to post the st you have posted. I, for one, can't wait.

the ''coat'' turned out to be a very very thin jumper biggrin
Just because the item is cheap it's automaticly good item even when it's complete tat?
The same thing is with cheap rubbish tools they make, and people say how good they are just because they cost them so little - No they are not good , they are just cheap rubbish Tat! Don't confuse things..That why You can't trust Online reviews because there are People like You who writes good reviews about bad items just because they cost nothing! If an item is rubbish but it's cheap it doesn't means its a good Item, People seem to mix those things together... That's all this stuff is as well...


Have you tried their stuff yourself?
I'm not frustrated that they have provided me the stuff, I'm frustrated about companies like these who employ tons on chinese workers, to waste earth resources and churn out tons out cheap useless unusable tat that gets used once and thrown away as it's such a bad quality.
If someone can't make decent stuff, than they shouldn't make anything at all..

I've got a lot of Decathlon running gear. The mens running bottoms ae good and about 12 quid, the base layers are good and have plenty of use in them. Living in Spain for a few years, most of the stuff was really good. I cannot speak about their t-shirts, but they have some UK stores (I went into the Coventry one at Christmas) and as long as you choose well, it's very good for the price generally

nah mate I only buy tshirts there, the rest of the stuff is mostly Tat as well.
I only get few quality pieces of clothing and wear them all the time, From all the online reviews everyone said that this store provides very good quality clothing for primark prices..however it's not the case, not even close.
If all your life you have shopped only at Poundland and than start to order from a store like this,than Yes maybe it's good quality stuff.

I've never even been in a poundland.
The only thing I remember buying from Decathlon is 3 x bow and arrown, two inflatable canoes and some wet suits.

But I just can't understand wtf you expected and why you are posting such st on here about it.

I'm a runner and buy things in Decathlon. T Shirts are good,the leggings are good, my skiing jacket is very good, bought a few fleeces in there. My bike is st, but I went in Pacifically because they sold dirt cheap bikes and I got what I paid for. The 10 quid sports watches are brilliant.

I've bought quite a bit of sports kit from there, and I'm rarely disappointed.
They sell some very cheap gear, and unsurprisingly, it's cheap gear.
Go up the range slightly and they have some good kit, at reasonable prices.

However if you think you can buy the absolute bottom of the range, and you expect top quality, then you'll need to visit a different miracle factory.

Tend to go mid range.

The really cheap stuff is a bit st but it's 3 quid

The midrange base layers are great and I've got an 80 quid hiking coat from them that has never leaked despite being out in horrendous weather

What a weirdo the OP is. Talking absolute crap as well. I've got loads of Kalenji tshirts and shorts and socks. I reckon I've averaged about 40 miles a week running for the past 3-4 years and I've not had to throw any of the stuff away apart from some of the older socks. The stuff is outstanding value, particularly when you compare the t-shirts to Nike-Adidas stuff, which is admittedly better but costs 10x the price. The only noticeable difference is that the decathlon stuff gets a bit smelly sooner than the expensive gear.

The only thing I don't rate are their running shoes, I've tried a couple of pairs but I always end up going back to Mizuno Wave Rider trainers (they even do those cheaper than anywhere else in decathlon)

Cross country race this morning. The standard was very slow amateurs to runners with championship places in the London Marathon. Plenty of Decathlon kit being used.

All my base layers are from decathlon. Only spent a bit more and bought Nike / Adidas jackets. Been using the decathlon stuff for the last few years and no complaints. Still going strong and no need to check it away.

Value for money is outstanding.

I've had fleeces, jumpers, hiking boots, baselayers and socks from Decathlon (mostly in Europe) and I've been pleased with them all and find them really good value.

£19.75 for 12 items and OP is complaining about quality? What the fk?

I often wonder how people sell to the public.

OP is one of those people that complain on their Trip Advisor review of Travel Lodge that they weren't provided with a butler.
