New Ski Collection From Decathlon Hits The Shelves
Skiing is a great way to explore beautiful new surroundings, whilst simultaneously doing a form of physical exercise on holiday. In the lead up to the ski season, it has never been more important to be kitted out with the right clothing and equipment for an adventure.
Decathlon innovates, designs and manufactures its own brands for each individual sport. Since its founding in 1976, Decathlon has created over 25 brands and innovative equipment for every sport discipline. With more than 1,400 stores in 42 countries around the world, the company offers sports lovers of all levels affordable, quality gear in over 100 sports, ranging from cycling, running, and snowboarding, to fishing, basketball and golf.
Due to its vertical integration, Decathlon is able to sell its own brands at prices far below that of competing retailers, while still driving innovation based on feedback from its millions of in-store and online customers around the world.
Most Decathlon hardwear is made by established ski manufacturers, but to Decathlon specifications. However the company has its own factory making the Boost 300 Archtec ski, a ski binding combo which skis surprisingly well, despite its being so cheap.
Whether it be for a seasoned skier, those with a couple of trips under their belt or complete beginner, Decathlon has the best products for every kind of mountain adventure. From lightweight clothing to durable ski equipment, each product has been designed and quality tested by Decathlon so that outdoor enthusiasts will be well looked after on the slopes for years to come.
