Cotopaxi Outdoor Accessories

Designed with people and the planet in mind. #GEARFORGOOD

The name Cotopaxi refers to the volcano located in Ecuador, one of the highest active volcanoes in the world, which embodies the essence and adventurous spirit of the brand.  Its products are designed to accompany you on any adventure, because the outdoors is no longer limited to the mountains, but is also part of the way we move, travel, and live.

Sustainability is part of the design from the very beginning. In 2024, Cotopaxi achieved one of its main goals: ensuring that 100% of its products incorporate reused, recycled, or responsibly certified materials as part of its 3Rs commitment.

In addition, it continues to work on a roadmap to further improve materials, reduce the impact of its packaging, and move toward increasingly circular production models.

The backpacks, fanny packs, and bags are made using deadstock fabrics, high-quality materials from surplus from other productions that were never used. Instead of becoming waste, those fabrics are given a second life. This process reduces the carbon footprint by approximately 30% compared to manufacturing the same product with new materials, while also preventing the waste of existing resources.

Each person who makes the product freely chooses the color combination available at that time. There is no established pattern or predetermined palette. That is why no two accessories are alike.

The brand works with factories that comply with strict codes of conduct and promote responsible working conditions, while also maintaining concrete goals to reduce its carbon emissions in the long term.

Another of its most recent advances has been the elimination of PFAS from all its products. These chemical compounds, traditionally used to provide water and stain resistance, have been replaced with safer alternatives due to their persistence in the environment and the potential health risks associated with them.

Perhaps that is why Cotopaxi has managed to become one of the most recognizable brands in today's outdoor scene.

Not only for its colors or the design of its backpacks. But because behind each piece lies a different way of understanding design: making better use of resources, creating products designed to last, and demonstrating that functionality and responsibility can go hand in hand.

If you want to discover yours, we look forward to seeing you at our store in Madrid in the Barrio de Las Letras. The backpacks and accessories are available exclusively in-store, so you can find that color combination you like in person.
