Our Mission
Adventure inspires us to see the world and make it better. That’s why we build gear that fuels both outdoor experiences and global change. To achieve our mission, we dedicate at least 1% of our revenue to nonprofits that help communities experiencing poverty.

The Mountain
One of the world's highest active volcanoes, Cotopaxi (koh-toh-PAHK-see) in Ecuador had a major presence in Davis’s life—even his school was named for it. The mountain’s glacial streams, wild llamas, and countless trails instilled in him the spirit of adventure and gratitude that eventually inspired him to found Cotopaxi the company.

Gear for Good^®
Our Gear for Good® promise is to make durable gear as ethically and sustainably as possible, and to use our company as a way to support communities in need.

Cotopaxi Core Values

• People: We always put people first, whether it’s the sewers making our products, our employees, or the adventurers using our gear.
• Adventure: We believe adventure helps us see the world and inspires us to make it better.
• Innovation: We constantly explore new ways of achieving our mission, whether that’s building more sustainable products or making a positive impact.
