Why We Carry Cotopaxi at Chatham Outfitters
Have you seen the insanely colorful backpacks, fanny packs, and luggage from Cotopaxi?
They're super fun and popular, but did you know that each one of Cotopaxi's Del Dia bags is one of a kind? Or that they're made out of 100% leftover fabric? We love this brand. Functional, high quality, stylish, and sustainable - Cotopaxi hits on core features we look for when deciding what to carry in our store.
Del Día Bags
One of the most exciting aspects of Cotopaxi gear is their Del Día collection. Chatham Outfitters carries fanny packs, duffel bags, totes, slings, and more in this pattern. Every Del Día pack is one-of-a-kind, made from repurposed fabric scraps, and hand-assembled by skilled workers who have full creative control over the color combinations. This means no two bags are exactly alike, giving each customer a unique, personalized piece of gear.
Here are some great examples:
Cotopaxi Allpa 60L Gear Hauler Tote Del Dia
Cotopaxi Allpa 42L Travel Pack
Cotopaxi Kids' Dimi 12L Backpack
While some of you love a surprise, we know some might not like that risk. For example, what if your teenager hates orange?! We get it. That's why we recommend visiting the store to take a look at what we have for yourself. OR if you're shopping online, we can email you photos of what we have in stock.
Also - not ALL of our bags are the classic Del Día color if you're wanting something a little more subdued, like this Chiquillo 30-liter Backpack in Abyss.
Apparel for the Whole Family
At first we were really interested in carrying Cotopaxi's bags, but as we started learning more about the brand and looking at all of the awesome clothing, we've introduced their clothing line as well. Their clothing line is fun and gives a pop of color along the way. Their most popular apparel are their Fuego Vests and Jackets.
Our favorites:
- Tyler has gotten through the cold winter months in their Capa Insulated Hooded Jacket.
- I personally LOVE the Verso Hike Tight. I can't even get these leggings into the drawer because they go straight on after the dryer.
- It's hard to keep a hat on our 7 year old daughter, but we've had luck with this cap from their kid's collection.
