Come out into the field to test the trekking products #2025 edition

Hello to you, great trekker,

At Decathlon, we design all the products needed for trekking (shoes, backpacks, clothing, poles, bivouac equipment)

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

This project brings together the field tests that we can do on products currently under development.


Don't hesitate to apply! :)
