Cotopaxi

Inspired by the wild nature of the Andes: Cotopaxi develops functional sportswear and accessories for amateur adventurers and outdoor professionals. The brand was founded by Davis Smith. It was the untouched landscape of his Latin American homeland that inspired him to create Cotopaxi. The name goes back to the mountain of the same name in Ecuador, which is one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. The founder's love of nature is also reflected in the logo. It shows a llama - a robust animal with a strong will that defies the adverse weather conditions of the Andes.

Cotopaxi uses the llama's natural resilience, weather resistance and adaptability as a ramp angle for the development of hard-wearing sportswear. The brand relies on durable materials with high functionality for its production. The bright colors of the jackets, knit caps, shirts and trousers are a trademark. Cotopaxi launched its first bestseller in the accessories sector with the Allpa travel backpacks. Thanks to its ergonomic weight distribution and numerous storage options, the backpack enjoys lasting popularity, especially among backpackers, athletes and adventurers.

Cotopaxi attaches particular importance to sustainability. The brand prefers to use recycled textile fibers to manufacture its products. The climate-neutral company is also committed to social and environmental projects in Ecuador and other parts of Latin America.
