Decathlon.co.uk -has anyone bought their clothes before?

[bagusbagus]

Needed some sports tshirts/other stuff and I saw that website has got them dirt cheap, I realize that their £3 tshirts isn't going to be the same quality as some £30 nike ''super duper special sports tshirt'' but still wondering what's the quality of their clothes like? Better than primark/sportsdirect which is pretty low level to beat or worse/same?

[bagusbagus]

Yeah shoes are one thing I simply won't buy cheap- well I will wait for some good offer so the good ones costs the same as regular ones & than I will buy them but still cheaply made shoes are false economy.

Anyway thanks for heads up about that store,

paid £19.75 and ordered 7items.
-some warm running jacket
-synthetic hat for less sweat
-some ''sports'' synthetic shirt again for sweat
-fleece jumper
-some gloves
-belt
-6pairs of socks

at this price I'm not really sure yet what I can expect to receive
hopefully it's not all bad.

Well got my package, looked a bit small once received. However... who said their clothes are good value for money?
Everything I received seems worth about 2x less than I paid for it ( and I bought one of the cheapest/discounted stuff).


Pretty much everything has got weird sizing/shape to it, the material quality feels sooooooooooo cheap and thin and badly sawn together that it's not even funny.
I usually get Size S, I got for everything size M having read that you must take one size up, Wrong.. should have taken size L or XL , what the hell... Hands on everything are so short as well..
These clothes seems like are made for fat midgets with short arms- do they have a lot of them in france?

I got 7 items, and honestly not 1 of them felt ok- I have to say even Primark makes more quality clothes than these.
It's built for the price and don't be fooled you are getting a same shirt for less, you are not.. You are getting 3x less quality for 3x less price.


Now this is what You call Proper TAT! Waste of Earths resources.

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

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
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..

20 quid for all that? fking hell.

Stick to Primark mate. The mark of quality and no worker exploitation there at all

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.
