 Poster: A snowHead
|
Called in to Decathlon this afternoon to exchange an item. Was told by the manager that it would have to be ordered in as they have stopped restocking any ski related stuff.
Quick scan down the ski aisle and there is already quite a bit of discounted stuff. Lots of boots reduced (if you're ok with something off the shelf). Large roller type ski bag £35. Own brand goggles plus some Julbo ones. Didn't get chance to look at clothing but I've found their Merino base layers are pretty good.
Probably worth a look if there's a store near you.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Odd. Is this a national policy? What does the website say?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

It's the same every year. They sell most ski stuff before Christmas so by mid-January there's only what's left and they usually start discounting. Bargains to be had.

I bought some stuff in Decathlon Oxford last weekend - I can confirm that the stock seemed to be a bit sparse; there were quite a few adult ski jackets left, very few trousers but I found a pair that fit me for £30. There still seemed to be a reasonable stock of helmets, and I picked up an own-brand one with MIPS that fit nicely. I found a jacket for youngest daughter that was heavily reduced down to £20.
+1 for Decathlon merino base layers.
Decathlon has now become my kids' favourite shop because they get to play on scooters!

I don't usually look at higher end ski stuff in Decathlon, but in Lisbon we usually have the first wave of Jan sales in Jan (!) and then the second wave, ie extra discounts for stuff that didn't sell, in Feb, until say 24 Feb. That's in all shops and Decathlon follows that pattern. Never noticed if/when they try to clear their shelves of ski gear. Seems really odd to do it in Jan though, before the Feb half-term break.
