I'd usually agree wholeheartedly, but the recent crop of 'high end' fleeces in Decathlon (e.g. the £25 Bionnassay 700 jacket) were badly designed if you're a climber. Good fabrics, well made, but awful armscye designs, so you get restricted arm movement and lots of hem and cuff pull. If they could get the design right, they would rival the R1.
The cheaper ones may be better.
OTOH, the Techwinter 500 thick base/light mid is brilliant, IMHO. If they added a hood to it, it would rival the lightweight powerdry offerings like the Montane Allez, or MEC T3.
