Decathlon Becomes First Sports Retail to Provide Clothing Rental Service

The UK’s leading fashion rental platform Hirestreet – known for offering sustainable and affordable occasionwear  – has announced a partnership with another major brand, as it expands into sports and activewear.

Decathlon, the world’s largest international sporting goods retailer, has launched its first UK rental collection via Hirestreet, consisting of an exclusive ski-wear and outerwear edit. It is seeking to take advantage of the return to the slopes for many Brits, whilst also offering a range of hiking gear to tap into the demand from those opting for festive staycations, and those bounding into the new year with active resolutions.

Available to rent via the easy-to-navigate Hirestreet website, the Decathlon collection consists of 18 different innovative styles of high performance ski and hiking jackets & trousers for women, ranging from sizes: 6 to 16. Starting from as little as £15 to rent for a 4-day period (RRP between £60 and £200), the collection offers a sustainable and affordable alternative to purchasing the new items, making it perfect for those who may not regularly ski. For those who are feeling the chill in the UK and in need of a winter coat, customers can rent these jackets, whether off on a hike, or just nipping to the shops.

Isabella West, Founder and CEO of Hirestreet said: “Demand for rental fashion boomed in 2021 and customers are now looking to hire items for more than just formal occasions. For many of us, who ski infrequently, renting ski-wear makes a lot of sense: it’s high in price, bulky to store and rarely used.”
