Teca Fleece Full-Zip Jacket
About Cotopaxi’s zip-ups: Cotopaxi's Teca fleece is made from repurposed materials in vivid colourblocked panels — each one unique, with a social-impact mission behind it.
Is the price honest?
Reasonable at $110 for a warm recycled-material fleece with a genuine sustainability and social-impact model behind it. Part of the value is the mission and the one-of-a-kind colourway rather than fabric weight alone.
Our take
Cotopaxi's Teca full-zip is a fleece built from repurposed and remnant polyester, panelled into vivid colourblocks so that no two jackets are identical. It uses zippered hand pockets, a stand collar and a mid-weight recycled fleece, and the brand's model directs a portion of revenue toward poverty-alleviation grants. Owners are drawn to the distinctive colour mixes, the warmth and the sustainability story, with the trade-offs being that the unique panelling means you cannot pick exact colours and the fleece is mid-weight rather than heavy. It is as much a values purchase as a warmth purchase.
