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 spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
For mid-range custom hi-vis vests, price is driven mainly by ANSI class, mesh versus solid polyester, pocket count, closure type, and whether logo printing is included; higher-visibility Class 2/3 and more complex constructions quote higher than basic economy mesh. Published wholesale and factory quotations show roughly $0.90-$1.50 at 500+ units for very basic custom vests, while US-facing wholesale sites show low-single-digit to low-teens retail-wholesale pricing for stocked ANSI vests and custom logo offers starting around $8.99 for smaller US-distributed orders. Realistic routes are direct import/factory sourcing for the sub-$2 tiers, or US wholesale/distributor channels for faster turnaround and better compliance documentation
