Made-to-order ultra packs and running kit from a one-man shop in Takao

Started in 2014 when the founder finished UTMB with a pack he had sewn himself, and still runs mostly direct from a shop at the foot of Mount Takao that doubles as an aid station with showers. The FOCUS vest is made to order and took a Good Design Award in 2023. Repairs are done for a fee; returns are refused unless the product is faulty.
