Decathlon has become an equipment partner in the new Deep Climate study, a research project by researcher Christian Clot and the Human Adaption Institute that looks at how humans adapt to situations of change and crisis. Together, they are conducting an expedition to three extreme climates (arid/hot, cold and tropical) with the goal of better-understanding climate and studying human, physiological and cognitive adaptive capacity. Decathlon equips the expeditions with hardware and apparel of its own brand Foreclaz, which specializes in outdoor and trekking.
