The fire within
Any adventure lover knows that just because the sun is shining at the bottom of the mountain, it doesn’t mean a cold wind won’t whip across the summit. Or is familiar with the chill that rises from a lake once you paddle out to the middle of it. That’s when a simple, lightweight layer becomes essential. Something you can cram into your bag, that won’t weigh you down or take up too much space but will keep you toasty warm when you need it. There’s nothing better for this than down. Exceptionally light and compressible, it lofts to create sleeping bag levels of warmth when worn. The Fuego vest from Cotopaxi is stuffed with 800-fill responsibly sourced, water-resistant goose down so it keeps you warm in any conditions. Also, with retro colour blocking and reversible versatility, it looks amazing. Great for adventure yes, and for just knocking around town.

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 DÃa’ 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.
