Our Mission
We think getting outside should do some good on the way. So we build bright, durable gear as a B Corp — and a portion of our revenue funds grants for organizations lifting communities out of poverty around the world.
Our Gear For Good® Promise
Communities Empowered
A portion of our revenue every year funds grants for nonprofits working where extreme poverty hits hardest, with a focus on Latin America. Our grantees are chosen for measurable results in health, education, and family livelihoods — so the gear you carry helps carry someone else forward.

Our Founder & Chairman
Years spent living across Latin America showed our founder how much talent gets trapped on the wrong side of opportunity. That conviction — that a company could close the gap instead of widening it — is the reason Cotopaxi exists.

The Mountain
Our name comes from a glacier-capped volcano towering over the Ecuadorian Andes — a peak our founder grew up looking at and never stopped thinking about. It stands for the kind of adventure we build gear for, and for the communities around it that our grants support.
