Yep, possibly the best kit I’ve bought in a while. Think I’ll be getting another pair of trousers.
I also took a punt on their AM lid which I’ll be using through the winter (not many vents for warmer use). I know helmets are very personal choice due to head shape but I’m staggered at how comfortable it was.

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.
