Cotopaxi apparel and gear

Cotopaxi is a sustainable outdoor gear brand founded in 2014 by Davis Smith. The company is famous for its vibrant, multi-colored designs and its commitment to social impact, being a certified B Corporation. Their 'Del Día' collection is unique as it allows factory workers in the Philippines to choose the color combinations for each individual piece, ensuring no two items are exactly alike.

While the brand is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, manufacturing takes place in several locations globally to leverage specialized expertise. Primary production facilities are located in the Philippines (for packs), Bolivia (for llama wool insulation), and various countries including Cambodia and Indonesia for apparel. The brand remains privately held, led by its founders and supported by venture capital investors focused on ethical business practices.
