10 Best Cotopaxi Fleece Jackets For Men And Women
Find your perfect new piece of gear from this selection of Cotopaxi Fleece Jackets for men and women.
Cotopaxi clothing For Men and For Women always promises to be sustainably designed and built to withstand the vagaries of life outdoors.
Unlike its lava-spewing namesake – the Cotopaxi volcano in the Ecuadorian Andes Mountains – this B Corp Certified brand strives to leave no trace on its surroundings.
Founded in 2014 by Davis Smith, who lived near the volcano as a child, Cotopaxi has earned its reputation as a relatively new, but environmentally conscious and innovative purveyor of outdoor gear.
In their own words: ‘Adventure inspires us to see the world and make it better’. This, simply put, is the ethos behind a company that moved fast, erupted into the outdoor clothing industry and secured its spot as one of the world’s most popular brands today.
Their gear is designed as part of a mission to inspire global change, outfitting nature lovers and fuelling their outdoor experiences, without trampling anything that is worth leaving your doorstep for.
This may sound a little hyperbolic, but the proof is in their actions – Cotopaxi dedicated 1% or more of their revenue to nonprofits helping impoverished communities.
Their Gear for Good® pledge – similar to the Patagonia statement that ‘doing good is good for business’ – ensures they will always make durable gear, which has been ethically and sustainably put together.

While their business sheds its ego and attempts to divert a portion of their profits into the Cotopaxi Foundation to support communities in need. By 2025, the brand plans to use only recycled, repurposed, or responsibly sourced materials, in all of their products.
The founder, Davis Smith, grew up in Latin America among glacial rivers, free-roaming llamas and mountain trails snaking off in all directions.
Cotopaxi (one of the world’s tallest active volcanoes) became a centrepiece in his life – in fact, his school was even named after it.
His experiences early in life taught him the value of empowering local communities and providing the fundamentals for a dignified life: health care, education and livelihood.
In our opinion, this is what makes Cotopaxi stand out in a crowded market. Their sustainable products and positive business operations are unique selling points that are too rarely taken seriously.
If all that was somehow taken away, they still make industry-leading gear that does everything you need it to – and more!
