The Crux Active is a do-it-all short that you can wear running, hiking, or during sessions at the gym. The shorts use the same fabric as Cotopaxi's Quito Active Tank, which we thought was “buttery soft.” Bonus points for the zippered stash pocket which allows you to store a few EDC essentials during your workout.

In 2015, we highlighted Cotopaxi as a brand to feel good about because of their humanitarian efforts and we specifically liked the Pacaya Insulated Jacket. It still has all the features we loved (durable, water-repellent nylon and underarm stretch panels), along with added improvements like the Polartec Alpha insulation.

When Cotopaxi’s line of activewear first came out, we tested the Haraka tights and loved them as a base layer under ski pants. Cotopaxi maintains their trademark fashion of bright, color-block patterns in these tights, but they also have more muted tones available, like dark green and grey.

In 2017, this jacket earned a spot in our roundup of our favorite pieces of peak bagging gear. The repurposed polyester taffeta packs into an internal chest pocket for quick stashing. Plus, the durable water repellent finish makes it a perfect “just in case” layer.

Gear editor Ariella Gintzler called the Wazimu leggings “buttery soft” and “among the most comfortable running tights I’ve ever worn.” The leggings rock a thicker polyester fabric on the upper half with a thinner, mesh-like material below the knee to offer a combo of breathability and warmth.

This rain jacket has been a favorite of ours for years (the fact that it has been $100 since its debut in 1999 may be partly why), and it recently earned a spot in Backpacker's Gear Hall of Fame. It's light, packs down small, and stands up to years of abuse. "Not bad for a bargain price."
