Eco Jersey is a custom outdoor vest manufacturer for outdoor brands, private labels, wholesalers, and B2B buyers worldwide. We design and produce high-performance outdoor vests including insulated gilets, softshell vests, fleece vests, and technical shell vests — built with premium technical fabrics, functional pocket systems, and durable hardware to serve as effective mid-layer and outer-layer components across hiking, trekking, climbing, and outdoor lifestyle markets, with reliable bulk production and consistent delivery timelines.
Our Outdoor Vest Products Manufacturing Range
As a dedicated outdoor vest manufacturer, we produce a versatile range of custom vest styles for men, women, and youth — developed to meet your brand's layering system requirements, insulation specifications, and style direction. Every vest can be fully customised with your chosen fabrics, fill, trims, and private label branding.
Down & Synthetic Insulated Gilets
Lightweight down and synthetic insulated gilets delivering core warmth without sleeve bulk — ideal for active hiking, trail use, and urban outdoor layering.
Softshell Outdoor Vests
Stretch woven softshell vests combining wind resistance with four-way stretch freedom — suited to technical climbing, trail running, and active outdoor use as a breathable outer or mid-layer.
Fleece Vests
Warm, lightweight fleece vests in bonded and non-bonded constructions — versatile mid-layer pieces for hiking, camping, and outdoor team uniform applications.
Technical Shell Vests
Waterproof and windproof shell vests for active outdoor use — providing core weather protection while maintaining full arm mobility during high-output activities.
Women's Outdoor Vests
Contoured and articulated women's outdoor vests across insulated, softshell, and fleece constructions — designed for both active outdoor performance and lifestyle market positioning.
Workwear & Hi-Vis Vests
Functional outdoor workwear vests in technical fabrics with hi-visibility options, reinforced pocket systems, and tool access features — built for outdoor work, field, and safety environments.
Fabric, Fit, and Customization Options
Outdoor vests demand the same level of technical fabric precision as any full jacket, and at Eco Jersey we source materials that perform across each vest category — from lightweight down fill and PrimaLoft® synthetic insulation paired with DWR-treated ripstop shells, to four-way stretch softshell wovens and anti-pill bonded fleece constructions, including GRS-certified recycled and bluesign®-approved options. Our fabric sourcing team matches your weight target, insulation rating, and sustainability requirements before pattern development starts. Construction customisation includes zip systems, chest and hand pocket configurations, hem cord adjustment, high-collar protection, and internal backer options. All custom embroidery, printed branding, and private label branding is produced in-house.
