What is Second Life?

The term "Second Life" refers to pre-owned, tested, or repurchased products that can no longer be sold as new. These items are then offered as second-hand products either online or in our stores. The assortment varies by location, as we also include items returned through our Buy Back service. To make them easy to identify, all Second Life products are marked with a specific "Second Life" label.

With our dedication to sustainability, we see no reason why these items can't still be enjoyed by a whole range of sports lovers. Our team of experts inspect every Second Life product and refusbish them if needed so we can then offer them to you at prices that are even kinder to your pocket.

Save up to 40% Off the Original Price!

By choosing Second Life products, you enjoy significant savings—often up to 40% off the original price. The exact discount is based on the product's condition, which is detailed on the product page or indicated on the label for in-store items.

Product condition & grading

At Decathlon, we want you to know exactly what to expect from our second-hand products. We classify them into four ABCD categories to help you make an informed choice:

  • The letter A

    Condition A

    Like-new, never used. The product may have damaged packaging or missing labels, but the product itself is in perfect condition.

  • The letter B

    Condition B

    Very good condition, lightly used with minor signs of wear, such as scratches or slightly dirty parts.

  • The letter C

    Condition C

    Good condition, with visible signs of use but still functional and in overall good shape.

  • The letter D

    Condition D

    Moderate wear, but the product is still in usable condition.
