Most people will look at this and think 'toilet bag' – and indeed the Nido makes an excellent wash bag for home or travel. But Cotopaxi are quick to point out that it doesn't have to contain toothpaste and safety razors. The Nido accessory bag could be a pencil case or a first aid kit, a repository for chargers and electronics, or a place to keep your bike tools and Allen keys together. However you choose to use it, the Nido has three compartments to keep your stuff organised, with an interior zipped pocket and a grab handle at the side. It's also part of Cotopaxi's Del Dia range, meaning that the nylon material is left over from other companies' production runs and would otherwise have gone into landfill
Cotopaxi’s tagline is ‘gear for good’, and before you roll your eyes at yet another outdoor brand making lofty claims about their eco credentials, these guys really do walk the walk. They’re certified climate neutral, with rigorous ethical manufacturing standards and even a grants scheme that supports organisations fighting global poverty.
They also prioritise the use of recycled and reclaimed materials, which includes some imaginative upcycling – like their ‘Del Día’ range made from repurposed fabrics. Other product lines make use of leftover fabrics discarded by other manufacturers. As well as reducing landfill waste, this also means that the vibrant patchwork-style colourways of many Cotopaxi garments and packs are totally unique.
And that’s the thing about Cotopaxi. Their kit doesn’t just tick the good-guy boxes, it also looks great too – with a retro-inspired aesthetic that channels the best bits of the 80s. Whether it’s a daypack, a bum bag, a windbreaker or a zip-up fleece, their range is built to last and stacked with well-thought-out features for conscientious adventure travellers.
