Retro Style Meets Modern Sustainability
The Cotopaxi Women's Cielo Rain Jacket proves that eco-friendly gear doesn't have to compromise on performance or style.

Conscious Protection
Traditional waterproof treatments rely on PFC chemicals that persist in the environment and accumulate in living organisms. Cotopaxi rejected this approach, developing the Cielo with PFC-free technology that delivers reliable water resistance without environmental harm. The recycled polyester shell gives new life to plastic bottles while the durable construction ensures years of use, reducing the need for replacement.
The packable design means you'll actually carry this jacket instead of leaving it at home. Stuff it in your daypack for hiking, toss it in your travel bag for unpredictable destinations, or keep it in your car for surprise storms. The lightweight construction disappears in your bag until you need it, then deploys quickly when weather turns.
Retro color blocking and vintage-inspired styling make the Cielo stand out in a sea of generic rain shells. This isn't technical gear that only works on trails—it's a jacket you'll wear around town, to festivals, and anywhere style matters as much as function.
