Gear for Good. High-quality & sustainable outdoor gear.

Cotopaxi

Cotopaxi is a B Corp-certified outdoor brand from Salt Lake City, named after the active Ecuadorian volcano that shaped founder Davis Smith's childhood. The brand builds its packs and apparel from recycled, repurposed, and responsibly sourced materials — including its signature Del Día pieces, each cut from leftover fabric remnants, which makes every one genuinely one-of-a-kind in colourway. Cotopaxi commits at least 1% of annual revenue to the Cotopaxi Foundation, supporting poverty-alleviation nonprofits with a focus on Latin America.

About Del Día
The Del Día collection is Cotopaxi’s signature line, crafted from repurposed fabric left over from other production runs. No two items are the same — each backpack, bag, or accessory is one-of-a-kind, designed by the makers themselves. For consumers, this means more than just owning a piece of gear: it’s a unique product with its own story, reducing waste and giving you something truly original to take on your journeys.

Frequently Asked Questions

Del Día ("of the day") pieces are made from leftover fabric remnants, so the colour combination on each one is unique — no two are exactly alike. This is part of Cotopaxi's broader sustainability approach, which uses recycled, repurposed, or certified-responsible materials across the majority of its range.

Cotopaxi is an independently certified B Corporation, audited by B Lab against social and environmental performance standards — its most recent assessment reportedly scored well above the certification threshold. It also publishes an annual public impact report detailing material sourcing and emissions data.

Guaranteed for good - The product is warrantied for the useable lifetime. This means repair or replacements where possible from Cotopaxi against genuine manufacturing defects.
