   Aug 30, 2021 · It’s not a conspiracy or crazy marketing scam on the part of other brands. You’ll find Simond gear to be on the whole bulkier (crampons), quicker to wear (dynamic rope sheath), heavy (carabiners, quickdraws, shoes), and hard to pack down small (down jackets).

   Aug 27, 2015 · I noticed Decathlon's Simond range is much cheaper for climbing equipment than other brands. How does this compare to the main brands (DMM, Wild Country etc.)? Particularly in terms of safety? It is all so much cheaper but if there is any doubt in the quality of it then its just not worth it. Thanks!

   most of simond is quite decent. I have used that jacket for winter climbing in the Alps last season and to chill while sport climbing and I'm very convinced. Never been cold, the design is really well thought out and especially the reinforced arms have kept me from getting any holes so far. The value is unbeatable.

   The Simond carabiners and ropes ARE in fact properly CE and UIAA tested. There's a pretty simpel reason for that: no climber in their right mind would ever consider buying one of those things without these norms.

   Jul 7, 2020 · My mate has one of the foam Simond helmets, has used it loads, it seems to work fine - weighs not much more than a Petzl equivalent and cost a quarter of that! What's not to like?

   Is Simond a good brand?

   • However, of course, some people may actually prefer the feel of the Simond ones, which is great as they're the cheaper! I think Simond is great for some things - belay jackets, bags and jackets have been mentioned, but for others, perhaps where the feel is important, like a rope or draws I'd tend to go for a different brand.

   Is Simond still in business?

   • Simond used to be an independent company based in Chamonix, although I suspect little known outside France. Not quite sure when, but in 2008 they were bought by Decathlon who now sell Simond products, see http://www.simond.com/ Actually Simond were very well known in this country during the 1980s.

   Is Simond gear any good?

   • So here goes: Simond gear is guinualy good. It's more catered towards beginning/intermediate climbers, but we do have some nice high end stuff as well. Price/quality wise it's already great, and since I've got an employee reduction of 30% on top of that, I almost exclusively use Simond stuff. Safety wise, you don't need to worry.
