Sports & outdoors
How Cotopaxi compares in its category
Sports and outdoors carries the highest average order values of any vertical on LinkApprove, because technical gear is expensive and buyers replace it rarely but decisively. Content that demonstrates gear in real conditions substantially outperforms studio product content here, and demand is sharply seasonal in both directions, camping peaks in spring, insulation in autumn.
