Does anyone have experience of their cycling gear?
Particularly interested in their winter tights.
Any knowledge or recommendations?

Got some bibs and non-bibs, no problems at all. Try them on before you buy sizes can vary a bit.

Non-bibs now 12 months old, no signs of wear

Better quality IMHO than Aldi/Lidl

The Atex ones are windproof and are far too warm until temps drop below 5c - their other stuff is good. I've got the 'rubaix fabric and the Atex ones from them - no issues.

They also have a 2 year guarantee so get the 'membership' card, and your purchases are logged on that, so you don't need to retain the receipt. I took a winter top back after a year due to a failed zip, and they replaced it.

I have 2 pairs of MTB shorts from Decathlon that are very good but I have no experience with their tights.

Got the MTB Rockrider waterproof - it's been great - use it for the commute...

I did have issues with their 'premium shorts' a year ago.... - the moulded seat pad, despite being comfy, fell to bits within a couple of months - the shop just changed them - upon returning the second pair, they said the range had been withdrawn due to the problem - so they do listen.

It's a shop I spend far too much in...........

winter bibs from there are excellent and great value too.

Do you visit the Stockport branch quite often as well then?

Agree with all the above comments on the good quality as well.

The Stockport store is about 3 miles from home ! Far too close !

I've had a few bits & pieces over the years from Decathlon, bought both in the UK & France. Not had any problems with them at all.

My only gripe is that the closest branch is Stockport, and although my wife works in Didsbury she isn't bike savvy at all, so cannot be trusted to go on an errand in her lunch hour :-(

I like Decathlon unfortunately there are none near me . Only visit them when a journey takes me past one.

Brilliant stuff- good value and seem to be lasting well.. have a few ss jerseys, some ls ones and some jackets. Unfortunately, the shorts and leggings and bibs just don't sit right on me with the padding -which is a real shame.

Would recommend them very highly!

I have bought shorts gloves and cycling tops from they seem very good and reasonable value.

I have bought a number of their KALENJI running t-shirts and wore them under my gillet as a base-layer. I also have a pair of their bib shorts as well. Good value for money - cannot fault them.
