I&#x27;ve been a member for a while, but mostly view that as a discount and not much more.<p>What I really wish we had in the US was Decathlon, which has cheap outdoor stuff that is &quot;good enough&quot;.  I wouldn&#x27;t buy there for something I did a lot (cycling!), but for casual outdoor stuff (say, snowshoeing) I don&#x27;t do much, their gear is often a really good deal, and not so cheap that it&#x27;s going to fall apart on me or be unpleasant to use.
