Decathlon launches AW26 collection to bring the outdoors into everyday life

Reading Time: 6 mins read

Decathlon invites all adventurers to embrace the rolling hills this autumn and explore the great outdoors in style with its new Quechua collection. Designed in the heart of the French Alps near Chamonix, the Quechua products blend cutting-edge technology with modern design, giving you the freedom to go your own way.

With Decathlon’s own research revealing that the simple act of walking outdoors for 30 minutes can result in a 46 per cent increase in positive mood, the range aims to put adventure at the forefront, combining aesthetic appeal, technical performance, and long-lasting durability.*

Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a daily stroll away from your workdesk, the Quechua range is designed to make you want to head out, explore, and make the most of every moment.

Hiking in style

The brand-new MH500 collection delivers warmth, waterproofing and freedom of movement, helping to protect you from the elements. Designed by a team of experts in the French Alps, the collection blends technical performance with adaptable style, to fit every hiking adventure.

  • Men’s waterproof 3-in-1 Hiking Jacket -10°C MH500 (£79.99)

  • Mountain Hiking Backpack, MH900 25 L (£79.99)

  • Women’s Hiking Warm Padded Jacket -6°C MH500 (£39.99)

  • Women’s Warm and Water-Repellent Hiking Trousers SH500 (£34.99)

An iconic fleece reinvented

As part of the MH500 collection, the 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Hiking Fleece (£29.99) is a nod to Decathlon’s earliest range. Whether in town or in the mountains, this warm and comfortable 50th-anniversary limited edition will protect you from the cold in true retro style. With a high-contrast colour palette and a redesigned 80s anniversary badge, the fleece is just as suitable for hiking as it is for everyday wear.

Beyond clothing: outdoor essentials

It’s not just clothing that’s crucial when heading into the hills. For lengthy hikes, the Women’s MH900 Low-Rise Hiking Boots (£79.99) are a great option, fitted with MFOAM cushioning and a Vibram® sole which provide comfort and performance, even on technical terrain.

The Quechua Low Camping Chair (£34.99) is ultra compact, foldable and most importantly, comfortable. The 1.5L Stainless Steel Water Bottle (£13.99) is made with 75% recycled material and has a comfortable carry handle, making it ideal for a day in the outdoors. Somewhere between a cap and a beanie, the Wedze 5 Panel Adult’s Cap 500 (£12.99) does it both – keeping your head warm in chilly weather, whilst keeping your eyes protected from the sun.

Kids’ autumn essentials

Back to school doesn’t mean the end of great adventures. While the school routine might be back in full swing, kids’ desire to breathe fresh air, run through forests, and scramble up rocks remains as strong as ever. Quechua’s Autumn Winter kids range is designed to withstand puddle jumps, rock slides and whatever the playground throws at them.

Family favourites:

  • Kids Walking Boots Crossrock Quick-Lace (£19.99)

  • Bear Hiking Backpack 7L, 2-5 years (£9.99)

  • Kids Sherpa Fleece Jacket, 2-6 years (£14.99)

Warmth, without the fuss

With winter weather set to roll in soon, it’s best to be prepared early. Each product in Decathlon’s winter range is crafted in the foothills of Mont-Blanc. Products are rigorously tested in real-world conditions on the French Alps, as well as in their advanced lab near Chamonix to guarantee the best performance for customers. Whatever the weather, Decathlon’s range will keep you warm, safe and stylish.

  • Men’s Sherpa Hiking Fleece MH500 (£34.99)

  • Wedze Adult Long Hat 500 (£14.99)

  • Women’s Winter Hiking Parka NH900 (£129.00)

  • Women’s Hiking Sherpa Fleece Gilet MH500 (£29.99)

All products are available now and to shop the range and find more information, please visit: www.decathlon.co.uk.
