He did it! David Niederkofler has arrived in Nepal together with Redelk. The two-wheeled adventure started on March 11 by the young man from Lutago, in the Ahrntal Valley, and ended at the foot of the Himalayas after a 9-month journey crossing 18 countries and covering more than 14,000 kilometers. With the “Italy2Nepal” initiative, David gained the support of technical brands that accompanied him throughout this incredible journey.
“When we received David’s proposal, we immediately thought this thrilling adventure perfectly aligned with Redelk’s values,”
says Luca Colombo, COO of Stecol Flex, the Milan-based company behind the outdoor brand.
A truly heroic feat supported by Redelk, which confirmed its role as the ideal companion for adventures—not just in the mountains. With a strong outdoor identity, keen attention to detail, comfort, and practicality, Redelk’s philosophy matched a journey marked by full respect for nature, entirely by bicycle and with makeshift accommodations.
“We accepted David’s challenge and provided him with the most suitable gear for his trip, carefully selecting it together based on the countries he would pass through, the different altitudes and climates, without overlooking comfort—essential for a bicycle journey,”
Colombo continues.
And David’s traveling gear was truly diverse: technical shirts for excellent breathability during the journey, power-stretch sweatshirts for warmth and comfort even at night, technical and detachable trousers paired with cotton t-shirts for warmer days; and finally, thermal wear, soft-shell vests, and shells to withstand cold and wind at the foot of the Himalayas.
“We’re happy that David made full use of the garments we provided, and thanks to the internet, we followed his route through every stage,”
says Ilaria Plati, Redelk’s Marketing Manager.
“We were so inspired by his journey that we launched a dedicated social media column, where we published a postcard from every stop, featuring photos of the locations he reached along with a message from David. Italy2Nepal was truly a success!”
