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

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?

Yes, I have, the majority is very good quality. I've ad all sorts from them from waterproofs, hiking boots, fleeces, sports tops, dance wear, cycling wear, snow wear, gloves etc. I used to kit the kids out in their stuff every winter. The only not so good stuff we've had is some polo shirts, but they were bottom of the range, dirt cheap, the next level up were fine. Much, much better than Primark or Sports Direct.

Much better than primark. I've got running trousers that are decathlon own brand and others that are brand names, and the decathlon stuff is just as good quality wise. Their sizing can be a bit confusing though.

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.

My wife dragged me in there to get some microfibre towels and ended up trying on pretty much everything on the clothing sale rail, or so it seemed.

She came out with a fair bit of keep-fit stuff and it all looks good on her. She does buy clothes by fit rather than the size printed on the label though.

She isn't a fat midget either, quite the opposite.
