Come to the field to test SIMOND climbing/mountaineering products #2025 edition

Original language : French

Hello to you climber and mountaineer

At Decathlon, we design all the products necessary for climbing and mountaineering (shoes, climbing shoes, backpacks, clothing, ropes, harnesses, etc.)

It is essential for us to have our products tested by as many people as possible in the field before they are marketed. It is thanks to your feedback that we can claim to make good products.

This project brings together the field tests we can conduct on products currently in development.

Don't hesitate to apply! :)

Hello,

We are currently looking to improve the durability of our mountaineering/climbing backpacks.

For that, we need your help! Go rummage through your closet, pull out your Simond backpacks, and tell us everything: if you still use it, any defects, maintenance...

All your feedback will help us focus on the major flaws and correct them to offer a more durable product.

You can respond as many times as you have Simond backpacks.

Thank you in advance for your responses.

A small step for you, but a giant leap for Simond!

Hello,

In order to improve the development of our harnesses and climbing ropes, Simond needs you.

Profile sought: We are looking for 15 men who regularly practice difficulty climbing and are accustomed to putting on and using harnesses.

Size of harness required: Size M

Waist circumference: 77 - 84cm
Thigh circumference: 52 - 57cm

What: The goal is to come and test and evaluate the comfort of various harnesses during a test. For this, several harnesses are to be tried while suspended, attached to a rope (no climbing is planned). Two other tests are also planned for the ropes, aiming to evaluate different rope parameters blindfolded.

The total estimated duration for the three tests is 1 hour.

When: Several slots (of 1 hour) are offered over 2 different days:

Monday 23/06/2025
Tuesday 24/05/2025

Where: Simond Climbing Hall, 150 Rte des Papillons, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (74400)

I will inform you soon if you are selected for this test.
