Cotopaxi combines sustainable design with a commitment to global community support. All while being full on fun and colour.

At BackTrails, we love working with brands that care about the environment as much as we do, and Cotopaxi is a perfect example. This innovative outdoor gear company is not only known for its colorful, functional products but also for its deep commitment to sustainability and ethical practices.

Cotopaxi follows a clear mission to “Do Good” through their Sustainable by Design initiative. They craft gear using repurposed, recycled, and responsible materials, working toward minimizing waste and maximizing the lifespan of their products. For example, many of their items, like the popular Del Día hip-packs, are made from leftover fabric that would otherwise be discarded, turning potential waste into something vibrant and unique.

Beyond materials, Cotopaxi is a certified B Corporation, meaning they meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. They also allocate a portion of their profits to alleviate poverty through their Cotopaxi Foundation, supporting global programs that uplift underserved communities.

By choosing Cotopaxi, you’re not just investing in high-quality gear but also in a future where business can be a force for good. At BackTrails, we’re proud to feature Cotopaxi products that embody sustainability, ethical production, and adventure. Check out what's new from Cotopaxi here.
