They look proper good! I've been meaning to sideline my otherwise perfectly good but Power Ranger spec Troy Lee pants but shudder at the thought of spending €150+ on a pair of new ones so might try these Decathlon ones myself!
I did also come across a brand that's new to me (I think I've just been out of the loop) today called Dharco
Kit looks decent and nice clean designs.

I bought the exact same decathlon kit. The trousers were out of stock for ages, glad this alerted me to it.
Mine just arrived and honestly can’t believe how high quality they feel.
The jacket is very well designed and quality wise feels on par with jackets I’ve paid three times more for.
The panel at the top of the zip is a nice touch for keeping your neck dry and warm but still comfortable. It’s shape means you can keep it fully zipped. My other jackets feel tight and restricted at the chin when fully zipped up so end up riding with it down a touch.
The sleeves are quite long with a bit that extends over the top of your hand down to the knuckles.
I deliberately sized up to XL so I have room for body armour underneath.The trousers are equally high quality with a fairly nice slim fit but with room for knee/shin guards. The material has a nice stretch to it. The panel at the waist rises up your back a good bit too.
I’d defo say size up for the trousers tho. I normally wear 34” waist trousers. These XL size are listed as being 37” but there’s no way that’s the true size. I do have a big arse and thighs though and these are a nice snug fit, by no means as big as the 37” number would have you think. I feel like I could have ordered the next size up for the trousers and still be ok.They are both so good I think I’m going to order another of each.
Not quite at the Dammit budget level but I took a punt on a couple of bits of kit from Decathlon which arrived today.
Expensive kit is nice and all but mtb kit gets wreaked quick and even quicker when you crash. So was tempted by the £39.99 mtb AM trail trousers they do and the £89.99 waterproof trail jacket.

Not test out just tried on and inspected.
I’m incredibly impressed with the jacket, really good design and incredibly well finished given the cost.
The reviews of the trousers said size up and this is spot on.
