Decathlon is making its first entry into the UK rental market, partnering with fashion rental platform Hirestreet.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n An\u00a0exclusive 18 style edit of ski-wear and outerwear<\/strong>, including ski and hiking jackets as well as trousers for women, will be launching on Hirestreet.<\/p>\n Sizes range from 6 to 16 with prices starting from \u00a315 for a four-day rental period. The partnership sees the rental platform expanding into the sports and activewear sector.<\/p>\n Isabella West, Founder and CEO, Hirestreet, said: \u201cDemand for rental fashion boomed in 2021 and customers are now looking to hire items for more than just formal occasions.<\/strong> For many of us, who ski infrequently, renting ski-wear makes a lot of sense: it\u2019s high in price, bulky to store and rarely used.<\/p>\n \u201cDecathlon has been a market leader in sportswear for decades and we share similar values to sustainably make clothing - be it sportswear or fashion - accessible to everyone and with the planet in mind. We are proud to be partnering with Decathlon for their first ever UK rental collection.\u201d<\/p>\n Sharon Poulter, Rental Manager at Decathlon, added: \u201cRenting our textile products is a new venture for us, and one that we're excited to be sharing with Hirestreet.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt is another way in which we are making sport more accessible - through convenience, price point and flexibility, all while reducing our impact on the planet.<\/p>\n \u201cRenting ski wear was an obvious starting point, but we expect to expand our offer in the future to make getting active even easier and more sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n
