1 – Tell us a bit about yourself

My name is Matteo Peroni, born in 1989, and I am a computer engineer. From Monday to Friday I write code at work, while on Saturdays and Sundays I retreat to the mountains. That’s where I truly find my balance.

2 – What is your favorite outdoor activity?

Going to mountain huts. It’s not just sleeping outdoors—it’s earning an essential place after trails that often put you to the test. Sometimes it’s really tough, but when you arrive everything changes: peace, silence, introspection. In those suspended places time slows down, almost stops, and for a few hours you enter another dimension. I also love trekking, both day hikes and multi-day trips, as well as via ferratas: different ways of experiencing the mountains.

3 – What is your favorite place to explore?

The Dolomites remain my first love, but in reality I don’t have just one favorite place. Every mountain can become “home” when it makes you feel good. I like places that force you to slow down, far from the frenzy of daily life, where the goal is earned step by step and the journey matters more than the arrival.

4 – Why did you decide to become a RedElk Ambassador?

In my own small way, I want to give visibility to a brand I feel comfortable with and that believed in me from the very beginning of my journey as a creator. When you find a company that is concrete, present, and consistent, it feels natural to give back the same energy. It was a stroke of luck to meet them thanks to the friends at RIFUGI D’ITALIA.

5 – In what way do you feel close to the RedElk philosophy?

I feel close to RedElk for simple reasons: fair prices, reliability, and product longevity. I am against consumerism and I appreciate what lasts over time, season after season. In the mountains, you must be able to trust what you wear. If a garment truly works, doesn’t make you sweat, doesn’t limit your movement, and protects you when needed, you can focus only on what matters. And RedElk has that extra something: that authentic sense of comfort that accompanies you throughout the day and truly makes the difference compared to other brands, especially in their pants.

6 – What is your favorite RedElk item?

Definitely HEIKO 2 and ISALO 3-DP: two garments I have truly come to appreciate in the field, reliable and versatile in different conditions.

7 – Would you like to share a special memory related to RedElk apparel?

During a sudden summer downpour, my shell kept my upper body dry and my summer pants dried in about ten minutes, without any bad odors. When the weather changes so quickly, having the right clothing makes the difference between “enduring” and going back to enjoying the experience.

8 – What advice would you give to someone who wants to approach an outdoor sport?

Choosing clothing carefully is essential. When it’s very cold or too hot, the choice of outfit can completely change your day. Being prepared means enjoying the experience more and facing unexpected events with clarity.

9 – What is your next challenge?

I’m not obsessed with records. I haven’t beaten my personal record yet and I’m not interested in doing so. The most exciting trek is the one I still have to do. My goal is simple: never change. To continue living the mountains the way I like, without rushing, in silence, with the people I love and who share my same passions.
