About Pingora

Pingora was founded in 2022 my CJ Whittaker (co-founder, Cotopaxi), and Mike May. Inspired by the idea of “Human Nature”, Pingora products focus on getting more humans in nature,comfortable with nature, and celebrated as nature. Offering top of market performance gear, Pingora aims to eliminate the frustrations that come along with subpar equipment. Quality is never a compromise, which means both seasoned athletes and newcomers to outdoor sports have an enjoyable experience their gear helps facilitate. Having been involved in pack design and manufacturing for decades, the Pingora team knows the reality of waste in the industry. This is why the colorways of Pingora are driven entirely by premium dead and over stock fabrics that would otherwise end up in the landfill. Read their story
