Love camping, but hate a bad night’s sleep? Crave closeness to nature, but still want some home comforts? Adore unwinding in the great outdoors, but don’t want to rough it like a teenager at a music festival? The good news is, you can have it all.
With Decathlon’s new range of re-imagined camping gear, you can now have your cake and eat it. Camping doesn’t have to mean restless nights, uneven sleeping surfaces, soggy tents and woefully cold sleeping bags.
Instead you can add a touch of comfort, luxury and relaxation to your weekend getaways in the countryside, ensuring every moment at camp is a blissful haven of escapism. Plus, when you decide to leave the campsite and head for the hills on foot, Decathlon also has you covered with its extensive line of hiking clothing and equipment.
Decathlon is one the outdoor industry’s biggest success stories. Since its inception in 1986, the brand has grown into a global phenomenon, operating in 70 countries, employing almost 105,000 people, running 1,750 stores, and achieving a turnover of 15.4 billion Euros in 2022. That’s stratospheric stuff. It’s best-known, perhaps, for offering incredible value for money to everyday consumers, as well as high-performance, technical kit for alpinists.
But the brand is also eager to shout from the rooftops about the durability, reliability and comfort of its products for the “middle ground” market – enthusiastic adventurers who love to immerse in nature and escape for weekend expeditions, whether exploring woodland trails, climbing a famous peak or relaxing by a lake. Decathlon believes its superb product range will enable these people to “unwind in the great outdoors without compromising on comfort”, and empower them to “explore, challenge and connect with the wilderness in ways that are convenient and comfortable”.
In recent years Decathlon has re-imagined both its camping and hiking ranges. With its teams based at the foot of Mont-Blanc – a near-perfect alpine base for designing, field-testing and innovating new products – Decathlon says its unwavering goal has always been to “make sports more accessible and foster unforgettable experiences, personal growth and a revitalising connection with nature” for its customers. As part of this drive, here are three of Decathlon’s best re-imagined products for hiking and camping adventures, without compromising on comfort.
1. Quechua 4.1 Air Tent - £299.99
Meticulously designed for those who seek comfort and convenience while camping - featuring effortless setup and exceptional durability - this weather-resistant, four-person tent provides a spacious, blackout interior for a guaranteed restful sleep at the campsite. The advanced material blocks out sunlight while maintaining excellent airflow, guaranteeing a comfortable stay in any weather. With its easy inflatable setup and simple pack-down process, you’ll also have more time to relax and immerse yourself in nature.
2. Quechua Self-Inflatable Camping Mattress – £89.99
Self-inflating to a super-thick, plush 70cm mattress, this bed delivers the levels of comfort you’re used to at home, even when out camping in the great outdoors. It all but guarantees a great night’s sleep under the stars, and can “transform your camping trips with ultimate comfort and convenience”, as Decathlon confidently puts it. You can even join two together to make a double mattress, and each mattress can be paired with an inflatable bed base for a raised sleeping experience with a “glamping” style.
3. Quechua Camping Comfortable Reclining Folding Armchair – £49.99
It’s a glorious evening on the campsite, the sun is setting behind a jagged skyline of mountains and you’re relaxing in your favourite armchair without a care in the world. That’s the feeling you get with this reclining camping chair. No perching on bumpy rocks or sitting cross-legged in the mud. With this chair – which unfolds with just a couple of clicks, and is compact and easy to store – you can sit back, chill out and unwind to the sounds and sights of nature.
