Cotopaxi, the certified B Corp and purpose-driven brand known for breaking the rules of outdoor gear, is turning up the heat on one of its most iconic product lines. The beloved Fuego Down Collection, famous for bold colorblocking and effortless versatility, has been completely reimagined for those who don’t see themselves in the traditional outdoor mold, and now includes a highly-requested ultra-warm option with the new Fuego Max.
When the original Fuego jacket dropped in 2016, it flipped the script on what a down jacket could be; fun, functional, and unapologetically colorful. Nearly a decade later, Cotopaxi set out to redesign Fuego to meet their goal of 100% recycled, repurposed or responsibly sourced products- in doing so, they found a fabric solution that was not only 100% recycled, but buttery soft and more durable. The reimagined collection delivers Cotopaxi’s signature bold styling but with better fabrics, smarter fit, sustainable upgrades, and more personality than ever.
“We really rebuilt the Fuego from the bottom up,” says Sara Westbrook, Cotopaxi’s SVP of Product and Merchandising. “While we kept the signature colorblocking that made the Fuego a cult favorite, the goal was to create the most sustainable down jacket on the market. During this process, we made an unexpected discovery that by using 100% recycled fabric, the updated Fuego ended up much softer, but just as durable. Now the fit throughout the collection is even better, and we’ve added exciting new styles like the Fuego Max Hooded Down Jacket and Max Down Vest.”
New Fuego Collection Highlights
Cotopaxi listened to its loyal fans and delivered:
- Refined fit: Added length for extra coverage, more room for layering, and a modern silhouette.
- Next-gen fabrics: Softer feel, stronger performance, and now completely free of intentionally added PFAS. Fuego’s Shell and Lining are crafted from 100% recycled nylon.
- Planet-friendly construction: 100% recycled nylon shell with C0 DWR finish and responsibly sourced 800-fill down.
All these updates underscore Cotopaxi’s commitment to Gear for Good®—products designed for people and the planet, without compromise.
The new Fuego collection, including the Fuego Max Down Hooded Jacket ($350) and Fuego Max Down Vest ($220), are available at cotopaxi.com and through select retail partners globally.
