Those Decathlon mini rucksacks are great we have several in our house, great for quickly packing food into and for days off. The side load cages are great, also for kids bikes!
I own one of the decathlon head torches and can say it's excellent. Can't go wrong for £10. Usb chargeable as well. Fits in in frame bag and good for camping too. Decathlon also do some good cheap lights for inside the tent or for the dinner table when dark. We paid £5 for one that fits in saddle or frame bag (smaller than a tennis ball).
I love the Petzl headlamps, specifically the Bindi. Super lightweight plus can serve as front or rear light. Usually i have the Swift RL pro on my helmet. And the normal Swift RL on my handlebar. The RL tech means that the headlamp automatically dims the light in a brighter environment. Very useful along Aand B roads with oncoming traffic at night. I have a short review on my channel.

I'm often amazed at the value for money of Decathlon stuff, so much better than the budget UK outdoor chains.

Hadn't thought about the general benefit of side load cages for people who might otherwise struggle to reach. Cheers for the insight!

Great, glad to hear! Yes almost also was going to suggest a lamp for campsite / the tent but had to stop the list somewhere! 😂
I can say bikepacking on a brompton can be done, have the right tent is important and bags.

I'd buy half a Decathlon if I could 😂
thanks for the video :) I'm preparing for my first ultra race and some of the stuff will be useful
Great to hear! And thanks, appreciate it
1:07 I first thought you said "less room for your balls" also makes sense if you're mounting your bugs near your seat
On my first bikepacking trip right now ! Realised I need half of that stuff 😂
Haha oh dear, don't suppose there's a decathlon outlet on your campsite? 😂
