I was planning on getting a new pair tomorrow but I'm going to Italy in a week for vacation. Should I wait to get them there?

Decathlon is in Italy, and it's the best sports store I've ever been to, so Id get anything you need sports related from decathlon. I still have a rucksack and a hammock bought from them 10 years ago that work like new. Their shoes are great, their pants are nigh indestructible, if I had any athletic stuff to buy and I was going to Italy I'd just get it in decathlon.

And all of the prices are cheaper than the states for sure, and much higher quality in my opinion

Cool thanks, I'll check if there's a decathlon close to where we're staying.

For sure. I know they have ropes and clips too, pretty much everything. And super high quality pop-up tents, made of good material. But you just throw them on the ground and they unravel like a dragon Ball z capsule into a sick tent, then you just fold it up again after down to the size of a manhole cover but super light.
