Quecha and Quechua might be different brands? Decathlon (i think its a French company) have lots of own labels, BTwin, Tribord, Kipsta, Artengo, Kalenji, Olaian ect... all dealing with different aspects From the trusty interwebz It is worth noting that by relying on its own-brand range, Decathlon has
managed to keep its prices at the lower end of the spectrum, while
developing different pricing segments. The group, which was created in
1976, designs, produces and distributes all of its products
independently. Initially, they were all labelled 'Decathlon' but, in
1997, the sport retailer, now worth an annual revenue of €10 billion,
began to diversify by introducing the Quechua and Tribord lines, which
have become household names in their own right.

I checked again.
I had seen Quechua (I misspelled before) often and somehow thought, that it was a Globetrotter brand. But as you're saying, that is not correct. Globetrotter has two own brands, but they're called meru and Kaikkiall. They're also not selling quechua. Decathlon also has a number of stores in Germany I saw. So, that's why the brand is quite visible. |

These days almost exclusively Arcteryx. Their trousers are a superb fit on me and supremely tough, and their synthetic insulation fits and performs as well as any other I’ve tried. Their Gore-tex jackets are very expensive but I got a but I’ve never paid more than 60% of ticket price and they do perform. I only wear 3L gore because it’s the best at preventing ‘wetting out’ on areas under contact from pack straps and the like. I’m not sure many folk think about this despite these types of materials are water resistant DEPENDING on the pressure on the face of the fabric (I had an absolute disaster wearing Rab eVent carrying a heavy pack - completely soaked through) |

My mrs has recently bought a 650 fill down mid-layer from Alpkit, she wanted something lightweight but warm to throw on in the chilly summer evenings. They're a nicely 'tailored' jacket with a good ratio between chest, waist and hips, rather than the usual sack o'potatoes down jacket, also it has long (articulated) arms which can often be an issue. |
