I am more than happy to announce my collaboration with SALEWA, one of the worlds leading outdoor brands.

Since 1935, SALEWA made a name in the outdoor industry for the legendary reliability and durability of their products.

Nowadays, with their headquarters in Bolzano in the heart of the Dolomites, SALEWA is a world leader in alpine products, offering highly innovative and functional clothing, footwear and technical equipment!

SALEWA’S innovative products surely meet my needs -especially the “Speed Hiking” collection- and will help me on the long distance upcoming projects in some of the world’s remotest alpine lands, where lightness and reliability are crucial !

I would like to thank SALEWA for their trust in me and I hope that all of their expectations from this collaboration will be met !
