Why We Built This

Made with weather-resistant, repurposed materials, the Teca is built for wind, light rain, and heavy doses of adventure.

Why It's Different

We use 100% remnant fabric to build each Teca Windbreaker, which means material that might have gone to a landfill gets a second chance to shine.

About This Product

Description

The Teca is a highly packable, weather resistant layer that’s ideal for windy ridge hikes, breezy bike rides, and minimalist travels. This season, we’ve streamlined the design and created men’s and women’s versions for improved fit. We also upgraded the fabric for next-to-skin smoothness and added a zip pocket to boost in-movement comfort.

  • Elastic bindings at hood, cuffs, and hem
  • Back panel vent
  • Kangaroo hand pocket with added internal stash pocket
  • Packs into front zip pocket
  • Wind and water-resistant

  • Shell 2: repurposed polyester ripstop with DWR finish and 600 mm PU backer

Why You'll Love It

Limited Edition

Because each Teca is made using leftover fabric from other companies’ production runs, each colorway is also limited-edition. Once your favorite sells out, it’s gone for good!

Repurposed Polyester Taffeta

We don’t just use any leftover fabric to create the Teca. We use high-quality repurposed polyester taffeta with a water-resistant DWR finish.

Easy to Stow

A lightweight layer that packs into itself, the Teca Half-Zip stows and deploys at a moment’s notice. When you aren’t using it, stuff it into its own kangaroo pocket for quick storage.

Behind The Design

Our Giving Model

Giving is core to who we are. We tie our earnings to impact by allocating 1% of annual revenues to the Cotopaxi Foundation, which then distributes multi-year grants to thoroughly vetted nonprofit organizations who focus on improving the human condition and fighting extreme poverty. Since 2014, we have helped our impact partners reach an estimated 3 million people in extreme poverty through traceable and valid means.

About this Factory

Manufacturing details:

The Teca is produced at a forward-thinking factory in northeastern China, where worker well-being is a top priority. The factory is also working to meet the highest standards of sustainability and efficiency within the next few years. In partnership with this factory, we keep leftover fabric from other companies’ large production runs out of the landfill by turning it into limited-edition, unisex Tecas.
