This insulated down jacket is one of Cotopaxi’s classic staples, and for good reason. Unwrapping this gift will be a smashing success for any loved one, whether they’re a hardcore hiker or fashionable around-towner.

With retro striping and 800-fill down, the Fuego features a DWR-finished ripstop nylon shell to ensure versatility in all seasons. Whether you’ll be soaking in the summertime views atop one of Colorado’s glorious 14ers, or hunkering down in the cold on a blustery winter day, this lightweight jacket features tons of personalized aspects, like the fitted scuba hood and adjustable drawcord waist, for maximum warmth.

For the sustainably-conscious gifters out there, take comfort in knowing that the Fuego is also ethically sourced and Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certified.

Forget what you have in your closet because the Subo Pant will be your new go-to adventure apparel. Lightweight and movement-friendly, the Subo’s recycled UPF 50+ fabric helps to wick the sweat away on-the-go, while providing protection against Mother Nature’s elements.

Coso 2L Hip Pack – Cada Día – $55

Hip packs are all the rage, and Cotopaxi’s sporty Coso 2L Hip Pack is a great daypack alternative for quick wilderness jaunts or grabbing drinks after a day on the trails.

The hands-free hip pack provides ultimate convenience, including a large main compartment for easy access to all the essentials, a fleece-lined interior phone pocket, side compression straps, and a front flap pocket for safe-keeping of your wallet, keys, and other small items that typically get lost in the depths of a backpack.

Made from 100% recycled materials, the Coso fits a surprising amount of goodies (think Mary Poppins bag) without the extra bulk.

Gift it to: The casual hiker who’d love to swap out their backpack for a fashion-forward hip pack on their next hiking adventure

Best for: Short day hikes in the snow, peace of mind while traveling the streets of Europe, or window-shopping around town
