About Us: cotopaxd – Redefine Your Outdoor Experience

At cotopaxd, we don’t just sell outdoor products—we craft tools that turn ordinary adventures into extraordinary memories. Born from a shared passion for the wild and a frustration with “one-size-fits-all” gear, our brand was founded on a simple belief: outdoor equipment should adapt to you, not the other way around.

Our Story: Where Adventure Meets Innovation

The idea for cotopaxd took root around a campfire, where our founding team—avid hikers, climbers, and campers—vented about the gaps in outdoor gear: bulky packs that strained shoulders, waterproof jackets that sacrificed breathability, and gadgets that died mid-trip. Instead of settling for “good enough,” we asked: What if outdoor gear was as smart, versatile, and resilient as the people who use it?

That question led us to spend two years testing prototypes in some of the world’s harshest environments—from the snow-capped peaks of the Rockies to the humid jungles of Costa Rica. We collaborated with professional guides, environmental scientists, and everyday adventurers to refine every detail, ensuring our products didn’t just look innovative, but performed innovatively. In 2020, cotopaxd officially launched, and since then, we’ve stayed true to our roots: creating gear by adventurers, for adventurers.

Our Mission: Empower Every Journey

We believe the outdoors is for everyone—whether you’re a seasoned backpacker tackling a multi-day trek or a family heading out for a weekend picnic. Our mission is to remove barriers to adventure by designing products that combine cutting-edge technology, sustainable materials, and intuitive design.

For us, “innovation” isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a rain jacket with adaptive ventilation that adjusts to your body temperature. It’s a backpack with modular compartments that reconfigure for work, travel, and hiking. It’s a portable camp stove that runs on renewable fuel and folds down to the size of a water bottle. Every item we create is built to solve a real problem, so you can focus on what matters most: exploring, connecting, and thriving outside.

Our Promise: Sustainability + Performance

Adventure shouldn’t come at the cost of our planet. That’s why we’re committed to using eco-friendly materials—like recycled polyester from plastic bottles, plant-based dyes, and FSC-certified wood—in every product. We also partner with ethical manufacturers who prioritize fair labor practices, ensuring your gear is made as responsibly as it is well.

But sustainability doesn’t mean compromising on performance. Our gear undergoes rigorous testing to withstand extreme weather, heavy use, and the unexpected twists of outdoor exploration. We stand behind every product with a 2-year warranty, because we’re confident it will keep up with your adventures—big or small.
