I've come to the Lake District National Park to test out some 2025 Decathlon backpacking gear. It includes the Decathlon gear brands, Simond for Mountaineering, Foclaz for Trekking and Quechua for Hiking and Camping gear. My wild camping location is on Fleetwith Pike overlooking Buttermere.
Decathlon make excellent value for money outdoor gear perfect for wild camping in the UK. I've been a fan of Decathlon for a long time having purchased outdoor gear for many sports and outdoor activities. Their gear is properly research, developed, tried and tested before it gets to the consumer.
Their MT900 range is their higher end backpacking gear range. The MH900 range is their higher camping and hiking gear range.
However, the true bargains can be found in their 100 and 500 ranges. The MH100 range is cheap backpacking gear but still does the job well. The MT500 range is budget backpacking gear that is highly capable gear without the price tag.
Before the North Americans wade in, strictly speaking Decathlon's ultralight backpacking gear is not truly ultralight gear. However, it is very light, especially for the price.

I receive a tiny kick back on the affiliate links. However, this does not effect your price. My Decathlon gear is a mixture of items I've purchased myself and some items given to me to test and review.
Thanks, Andy.
