The ‘all day’ layer for nonstop adventure
Gilets or insulated vests don’t get the credit they should. For active adventure, they are an exceptional layering piece. You get all the cosy warmth where you need it – at the throat, kidneys and core – and nowhere else which means you’re way less likely to overheat. Because there simply are no arms, your body can naturally regulate temperature through your armpits and wrists as it’s meant to so you stay comfortable without constantly having to rearrange layers. This one, from Cotopaxi, is stuffed with recycled insulation which keeps you warm even in the damp and stuffs into its own pocket or a tiny corner of your bag, when not in use. One of the best things about it though is this: it’s reversible. So you get two gilets in one, with bright retro colour blocking on one side and simple quilted colour on the other.

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.
