protect the land
Our Long-Term Vision:
Our Land
Land for Conservation
At Chirripó Outdoor Gear (COG), every product we create carries a bigger purpose. A portion of our profits is set aside with one dream in mind — to expand and protect natural land in San Ramón, Costa Rica.
Costa Rica is home to 3% of the world’s biodiversity, yet every day wild spaces are disappearing. Our vision is to purchase and conserve land so it stays wild, green, and untouched — a safe haven where jaguars, pumas, dantas, and countless other species can continue to roam freely.
But this isn’t just about preservation. One day, we hope to build a COG-owned private reserve where you — our community — can play a role in protecting these landscapes. By supporting our small, independent business, you’re helping build more than gear; you’re helping create a sanctuary that will last for generations.
And this dream doesn’t stop in Costa Rica. We hope to one day establish protected wild spaces in the United States as well — places that will remain untouched, unspoiled, and cared for forever.
Every backpack and every piece of gear you buy is a step toward this vision. You’re not just supporting a small business — you’re helping create a living legacy of conservation.
