I'm a hiker of 20 years and have used many different clothing brands. my favorite has always been Eddie Bauer. I've always seen them as a great quality brand, that won't cost me an arm and a leg like other high end brands (Norrona, Mammut and Kuhl to name a few). However, Eddie Bauer is officially no more and I'm looking for something similar in quality and price point. Does anyone have up-to-date feedback on the French brand Decathlon. I see that their prices are pretty reasonable, and everything I've seen on Google searchs says they are actually a step up on quality from Eddie Bauer, with exception to Eddie Bauer's First Ascent series. Is this true? #hiking #activity source
