About Us

Adventure inspires us to see the world and make it better. That’s why we create responsibly made outdoor gear that brings performance, color, and joy to all, and helps us build a movement to support communities around the world.

Communities Empowered

We support people impacted by poverty around the world, with a primary focus on Latin America. We dedicate 1% of annual revenue to the Cotopaxi Foundation, which supports nonprofits with proven track records of reducing poverty through health care, education, and livelihoods.

The Mountain

One of the world's highest active volcanoes, Cotopaxi (koh-toh-PAHK-see) in Ecuador had a major presence in our founder’s childhood. The mountain’s glacial streams, wild llamas, and countless trails inspired him to found an outdoor gear company.
