What moves the price
For hi vis vest, the drivers are arc rating (cal/cm²), NFPA 70E compliance, fabric weight, flame-resistant material, closure type, lining, inseam, fly style — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale pricing shows a wide spread because safety vests vary by ANSI class, reflective tape layout, pockets, closure, and fabric type; economy mesh models sit near the floor, while branded/custom or multi-pocket ANSI Class 2/3 vests price much higher. Realistic US-facing routes are bulk suppliers and imprint shops for 500-5,000 units, while import marketplaces and China direct-trade listings drive the sub-$2 landed-equivalent pricing at higher quantities. Custom printing typically adds cost, but large-volume import or private-label sourcing can still push unit prices below $1 for basic mesh constructions.
