Founded in 2019

Thanks for passing by! I’m Riccardo, an Italian living in Tokyo.

I'm a Product Designer, a Climber and I'm obsessed with outdoor gear.

As a Gear Nerd, I love to test and review everything I use, from Backpacks to everyday carry items. I always looking for the perfect backpack, the lightest piece of gear or I just enjoy the pure beauty of the functional design.

I live and work in Tokyo, and I test my gear in the wilderness of Japanese Alpine ranges like the North Alps, the South Alps and the Yatsugatake.

I like to DIY some of my gear and I launched an experimental brand. It’s called TheSign8, feel free to check the instagram page.

I’ also a photographer and publish some of my pictures here.

I sometimes write for Carryology.com
