The style is a slip-on meets sneaker silhouette, making it versatile for around the campsite or cozying up by the fire.

The jacket features two zipper-secure hand pockets on the main side, a two-way drop-in patch, hand pockets on the reverse side, and a chest pocket that the jacket can be packed neatly into.

"At Cotopaxi, we believe in using our business to do good, which is why we continue to partner with a like-minded brand in Teva," said Davis Smith, CEO and co-founder of Cotopaxi. "We are joining forces both to launch a collaboration that helps empower consumers to shop sustainably, but also to increase our impact on education and outdoor access through grants to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Hollywood and Denver."
