I regret that I must write this negative review of an otherwise positive experience with Decathlon over the last 8 years I have lived in Rome, Italy. But now I am compelled to tell you that I find your sizing and access to women's wetsuits to be unnecessarily sexist. 1) Your Rome-based stores do not even supply women's wetsuits, so I am forced to purchase online a wetsuit, item unseen or tried on, from the UK stores. 2) Your ageist, sexist sizings do NOT ALLOW active larger women like myself access to ANY wetsuits from your company. I am a 48-50 or XL to 2XL in size and your wetsuits do not come close to what my height and weight require. I am surprised, disappointed, and disgusted by your limitations towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I now have to reach across the Atlantic to the USA for my suit - for my health- and for my birthday. Shame on you guys. I cannot but see Decathlon now for what it really is: behind the times, inflexible, unimaginative, stuck in the perverted view that women are no more than mainstream sports 'girls'. I happened to be a 60 year old swimmer who has no intention of letting fall and winter weather get in my way. Sadly, you are now in my way and thus you have lost an otherwise previous loyal customer.
