Decathlon Down Jacket - Forclaz MT100 Down Puffer - 800 Fill for less than $90!

[@brettmcdonald1798]

I’m a Patagonia gear owner but recently got this jackets big brother the MT500 hooded. It’s on a par with the Patagonia down sweater hoody and sooo much cheaper.

[@Engearment]

That is great feedback! For the money, this is a fantastic jacket. Like you, I LOVE Patagonia, but you can get almost 4 of these for the price of one Patagonia down sweater.

[@chefgav1]

@@Engearmenteven cheaper here in Australia.On sale $35US

[@norbert_engel]

I bought this in blue 7-8 years ago and it's still going strong despite regular wear (literally no flows). Back then, it only cost €39.99 and should've just bought them in all colours.

[@cestmoi7368]

Same - I’ve only had mine for 2 years but it is a go to jacket for hikes and walks and holds up well

[@natlovell122]

Just purchased one for $60 on sale and absolutely love it. Columbia also makes some very affordable down jackets and can often find them on sale.

[@robertopedrazaruiz4877]

Hi there, I just purchased mine in the local Decathlon in mi city (Querétaro, México) and it was just 50USD, even better!

[@Engearment]

Nice score! 🙌

[@jacoblowe387]

in the uk just got this sized up to the XL as heard it runs small fingers crossed its good

[@elflakeador09]

The colour is class 👌

[@wingmanhoy3999]

Great review, after watching this review bought mine and very impressed, spot on review, all the very best.

[@Engearment]

Thank you very much! Glad you are enjoying yours as well.

[@Mangold108]

the nylon friction sounds much more noisy the patagonia micro puff.. I noticed in other videos too.

[@camping_guru_uk]

We are so lucky in the UK, I just bought a 3xl for £60, $75. It's such a great jacket. Thanks for the video

[@chefgav1]

Half that price here in Australia

[@chefgav1]

$40U.S here in Australia

[@JohnDoe-ut3sz]

i like affordable things. amazing

[@Engearment]

It’s such a good deal!

[@patrickdolan.]

So glad your measurements are almost exactly the same as mine. I can just order this without trying it on 👌😎

[@Engearment]

Perfect! Glad to be of service!

[@patrickdolan.]

@Engearment I've been curious about the Hardland down jacket on Amazon for under 80 dollars too. Slightly bigger with 650 down but looks well made and packs into its pocket as well. Only a couple videos on KZbin of it unfortunately

[@Engearment]

@@patrickdolan. I just looked into this and I think you are better off with the Decathlon. 800 over 650 is worth it. I don't like the the Hardland is claiming 4k waterproofing on the jacket without saying what kind of DWR or other water resistant treatment they use. Just my 2 cents. Hope you enjoy whatever you go with!

[@patrickdolan.]

@Engearment Thanks for the advice. I appreciate your insight on gear etc. Thanks

[@MountainHobbler]

I want one but I am built like a brick, my waist is the same as my chest and I have found most camping/hiking gear is built for more athletic folks.

[@readyme]

I’ve heard/read that they fit small and to size up. Did you find it “fitted”?

[@Engearment]

Hey buddy! I read that they run small as well, but was pleasantly surprised that it was a good fit. It is on the more fitted side, in my opinion. But not to small. I almost asked to test an XXL but glad I did not!

[@armored-clown]

Just bought one in blue 2xl $60 USD absolute steal

[@Engearment]

Nice score!

[@AndrewHillis-k9l]

Have you ever tried the MT 500 it seems to have exactly the same material, if so what's the difference between it and the 100. Have you also tried the MT 900.. Any thoughts on these

[@Engearment]

Hello! I have not tried the other ones... yet. I can see if we can get our hands on them. Sorry I am not more help with this!

[@chefgav1]

The fit is definitely not Patagonia sizing. Decathlon is euro sizing so 1 size less than US

[@mattlopez9351]

Thank you for this review, good information. well done!

[@Engearment]

Glad it was helpful! Really appreciate the kind note!

[@saulruiz3698]

Good review!! Off the subject what sunglasses u wearing?

[@Engearment]

Thank you !! These are the Costa Paunch XL - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmjbnJuNbsZ2qqs

[@pygmyl]

Would you think a size larger would fit better on you?

[@Engearment]

I don’t know for sure. But I imagine the gut would be much bigger. I tend to have a bit of trouble finding jackets that fit my larger chest and upper back. While not being super baggy in the torso.

[@garycoulier9653]

You said you were wearing an XL and that you almost had hem send you an XL. It glad you didn’t. I’m assuming it’s an XL, can you confirm please. If XL fits you good, a L should do me well.

[@Engearment]

This is XL. I almost had them send me a XXL.

[@chefgav1]

@@Engearmentlooks tight fit on you

[@sanjayg5780]

Hey bud thanks for the informative video. I am 5' 6" short and I have a slight belly. Would you recommend a small or medium for me? Thanks.

[@Engearment]

Happy to help! I would opt medium. It is a trim fit. Hope that recommendation works out. Take care!

[@seakyle8320]

in germany 59 €. your weight is 100 kg and you are 180cm? size XL?

[@Tks472]

Is this waterproof?

[@Engearment]

Nope. DWR coated but not waterproof.

[@reggierico]

Do they use Super Down?

[@Engearment]

Not that I know of.

[@TheLostAdventuress]

Hey man you said it’s a size XL then you say you almost ordered a XL lol so is it large or XL ? I only ask cause I’m the same build as you just shorter. Thank you

[@Engearment]

XL all the way. It’s a trim fit. I may have misspoke and meant to say XXL. Hope that helps!

[@TheLostAdventuress]

@@Engearment I figured ! I just ordered my xl tonight thank you for the video sir

[@ayaankhan-bt7gp]

Shall i choose blue or green color ?

[@ryanharper9574]

Do not buy any Decathlon items! Ordered a MT100 down jacket, it never arrived and even though I paid for the extra shipping insurance, they won't reimburse me or ship me a new one. Stay away from this company, especially if you plan to order through the mail.

[@chefgav1]

Just do a charge back through your credit card

[@timothy2896]

I just emailed customer service a few days ago. Nice lady named Mia asked me to explain my case. My order arrived 3 days later. I just bet your jacket is on back order because everyone’s buying them. Give it another week. It will come.

[@James-dy6zh]

color is way different than the website

[@Engearment]

Agreeed. Much better in real life.
