Buy cheap buy twice is fine in some cases. A used Revelate would have to outlast 7 Decathlon ones to be more economical. Obviously the Revelate has nice side pockets and whatnot but you get the idea, is it really 7× better?

that's assuming they function exactly the same, and the only difference is the revelate lasts longer
the point is they don't function the same. the revelate is better in every way.
nothing's wrong with decathlon. I have a load of gear from them. if you're going to use it once a year, fine. I use mine once a week, so it's worth it.

buy cheap, buy twice
they're about £35 used - pop up on ebay often
