  • 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.

  • Yeah, it's got nice side pockets and stuff - I get that it's a better product. Just pointing out that "buy cheap buy twice" is sometimes actually the most economical strategy.

    Not really sure why I bothered making this point

    I might stitch some bits onto my Decathlon ones and copy the Revelate
