FAQ -1: Pre-sales Inquiry

What types of running vests can you produce?
As a professional running vest manufacturer in China, we specialize in manufacturing a full spectrum of running vests, including hydration vests (with various reservoir compatibility), ultra-lightweight running vests for race day, trail running vests with enhanced durability and gear-carrying capabilities, reflective safety vests for night running, and customizable unisex/men’s/women’s specific fits.
Can you work with small brands or start-up projects?
Yes. We support both established brands and new projects. With flexible MOQ and ready-stock options, you can start with smaller quantities to test the market before scaling up.In this case, you can lower your first investment and risk. Jarler is always ready to work with you.

Thanks for asking. To help you faster, please share:

  • Estimated order quantity (units)

  • Target market / usage (brand line, race event, retail, etc.)

  • Customization needs (logo, colors, design reference)
    This allows us to give you accurate proposals and a more precise quotation.

Do you sell to personal buyers or only B2B?
Our focus is B2B. We mainly cooperate with sports gear brands, wholesalers, race organizers, and distributors for bulk running vest orders. For personal small retail orders, we are not the best fit.
