Takashi Kumagai Comment We were struck by Cotopaxi’s commitment to environmental friendliness and their approach of valuing individuality through the different color schemes of each piece. We also felt a connection with the fact that a portion of sales are used for education and poverty support under the concept of “Gear for Good,” and we at GDC wanted to be a part of that activity, which is how this collaboration came about.

Despite his success, Davis felt that he wanted to do more to save the world. He decided to create a business model that combined his favorite travel with solving poverty. It is a system in which people in poor areas benefit when their customers purchase products. Davis named the company Cotopaxi to express the adventurous spirit and strong determination he experienced during his time in Ecuador. Since its founding in 2014, the company has continued to provide innovative outdoor gear and special experiences with a focus on protecting workers, protecting the environment, and supporting developing countries.
