Good to see a direct comparison in a real world test - I've got a pair of Simond gloves that are very good (I don't wear them often as they're too warm!), and I'd have no issue buying other stuff from Decathlon (despite being a bit of a label snob, although I try my hardest not to be).

Have you tried the Simond Softshell? Pretty much a bargain too!

Do you use much mountain equipment gear? Its often on sale and i have some additional scouting discounts i could get on top of that, but even on sale its expensive. And, I dont know how good it really is compared to the bigger names

Not these days but I have a lot in the past. Decent kit. Wouldn't say as high end as Patagonia / Arcteryx, similar to Rab type stuff.

Hi Jez - out of curiosity, what was the *bleep* for? You mentioned Patagonia a lot throughout the video so just wondered. 😊

I hoped people might be intrigued, but more importantly said nano puff instead of nano air 🤦♂️😂

😂 - brilliant. It adds some intrigue and makes it seem like you were censored for mentioning a product 😊

On the topic of clothes, I love your jeans! Where are they from?
@johnfletcher99073 ай бұрын
From the little logo by his knee they are Ocun jeans, and from a 20 second google they look like Hurrikans.

Yeah as above, Ocun ones! Bit baggy but my normal Prana ones are on their last legs!

Hi there. Thinking of getting the Simond jacket. Is it water resistant?
@JBMountainSkills3 ай бұрын
It’ll keep a shower off but not water proof

I wonder if it's a good idea to buy one of those jackets in the first place. Seems like a hybrid that's not good at anything. Seems like a Down jacket/ fleece hoody combo would do most of the work this jacket provides.

Down not great in wet N. Wales weather.

@@mantis1966 that decathlon jacket is neither waterproof nor windproof. So a "down" jacket with synthetic filling would do a better job if money is concerned in my opinion.

It's amazing for specific use cases, for me is when temp < -5C and active (i.e. snowshoeing)
