Cotopaxi Affiliate Program

Cotopaxi is the outdoor brand known for bright, colour blocked backpacks, jackets and travel bags, many made from remnant fabric. It is a certified B Corp that gives 1 percent of revenue to its foundation and backs its gear with a lifetime warranty and repair program, which makes it a natural fit for content about sustainable and ethical brands.

The affiliate program runs on AvantLink with a 30 day cookie. The commission is a percentage per sale that varies by affiliate type, and published figures range from about 5 percent to 14 percent, so confirm your rate in AvantLink once you are approved. Applications are reviewed, Cotopaxi supplies banners and product feeds, and orders over $99 ship free in the US, which helps conversion. Payouts follow AvantLink's monthly schedule.

Cotopaxi's audience overlaps with travel as much as with hiking: its Allpa travel packs and Batac daypacks appear in carry on and one bag travel guides as often as in trail content.

Cotopaxi converts from sustainable outdoor gear roundups, travel backpack reviews, gift guides and content about B Corp and ethical brands. Its distinctive designs photograph well, which helps on visual blogs and in YouTube reviews. Its Del Día pieces, each one a unique mix of colours, give reviewers something new to show.
