We’ve all read those horrifying stats about how wasteful the fast fashion industry can be, so it’s good to see brands like Cotopaxi trying to redress the balance. Not only is the polyester microfleece in the Teca jacket 100% recycled, but the taffeta (that silky material they use for the stripes) is remnant fabric left over from other brands’ garments. It’s an imaginative way to make use of odds and ends of material that might otherwise end up in landfill, and it also means that each colourway is limited edition. The Teca Fleece is a cosier, fluffier version of Cotopaxi’s flagship Teca windbreaker, bringing a bit of retro style to icy early mornings or evenings by the fire

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.
