Quechua hiking gloves

Quechua is a major outdoor sports brand founded in 1997 in Domancy, France. It was created by the French retail group Decathlon to provide accessible and technical gear for hiking, camping, and trekking. The brand's design center remains located at the foot of Mont Blanc in the French Alps to facilitate real-world testing of its products.

While the brand is French in origin and design, the manufacturing of its products is global. Manufacturing typically takes place in various countries across Asia and Europe, including Vietnam, China, and Cambodia, to balance cost and scale. Decathlon, the parent company, maintains strict control over its supply chain and distribution, selling Quechua products exclusively through its own network of international stores and online platforms. Decathlon itself remains a privately held company owned primarily by the Mulliez family.
