FAQ

Q: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom OEM orders?

A: Standard MOQ is 500 units per style/colorway using stock raw material colors. Custom Pantone-dyed mesh or specialized fabrics require an MOQ of 1,000 to 1,500 units per order, depending on material specs.

Q: What testing certifications do your materials hold for international export?

A: Fabrics and trims comply with REACH SVHC standards and CA Prop 65. Hydration components (soft flasks and bladders) carry FDA, LFGB, and EU Food Contact Material certifications (EU 10/2011). Test reports are available upon request during sample development.

Q: How do you prevent vest bounce and chafing during long-distance running?

A: Bounce reduction relies on a 3D ergonomic harness structure combined with lateral elastic cord adjustments that flex with ribcage expansion. To prevent chafing, panel seams use soft flatlock stitching or bonded edge tape, paired with an anti-friction 3D mesh interface on body-contact surfaces.

Q: Can you supply soft flasks and water bladders together with the vests?

A: Yes. We integrate complete hydration solutions, including 250ml-600ml TPU soft flasks with bite valves and 1.5L-2L TPU bladders. Flasks and bladders can be co-packaged inside the vest packaging or supplied separately based on your SKU requirements.

Q: What is the typical lead time from design to mass delivery?

A: Sample creation takes 7-10 business days after tech pack sign-off. Mass production takes 35-45 days following pre-production sample approval, depending on order volume and custom raw material lead times.

Q: What information is required to receive an accurate factory quotation?

A: Please provide a tech pack or reference sample photos, target dimensions/sizes, material specifications, pocket layout preferences, branding details (logo placement/type), and estimated order quantity per colorway.
