Jacket Zipper Slider Customization Program for Outdoor and Hiking with Snow Wash
Jacket Zipper Slider Solution for Outdoor and Hiking
This programme covers the full path from a jacket zipper slider concept to a repeatable bulk supply for outdoor and hiking. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the cloth, the fit block, the decoration method and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.
The most common failure we see in outdoor and hiking sourcing is not price — it is drift. Fabric changes supplier, the shade moves, sizing shifts half a grade and the programme quietly stops looking like the brand. We prevent that with a written spec, an approved counter sample and a golden sample retained at the factory.
Recommended fabrics
- Recycled Polyester (rPET) — selected for colour depth and print sharpness
- Satin — best balance of comfort, cost and wash stability
- Interlock Knit — preferred for breathability in warm conditions
- Ripstop Nylon — best balance of comfort, cost and wash stability
Decoration and finishing
The default method for this programme is Snow Wash, but we routinely combine processes on one garment. Placement, colour count and position drives cost more than the garment itself, so we quote decoration separately and show you the trade-off before sampling.
- Laser Cutting
- Rhinestone Application
- Tie-Dye Wash

FAQ
Do you provide compliance documents?
We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for GOTS, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.
How is shipping handled?
We quote EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP. Consolidated sea freight is the default for bulk programmes, with air or express options when a launch date is at risk.
How long does sampling take?
A first prototype is typically ready in 7 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 5 days each.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 300 pieces per style and colour. We can split sizes across a size set, and for first orders we often accept a mixed-colour run to help you test the market.
