OEM/ODM technical knitwear category
Outdoor clothing programs for hiking, skiing, trekking, and cold-weather use, developed in knitted and knit-based fabrics. We manufacture base layers, thermal underwear, mid-layers, fleece tops and hoodies, outdoor jackets, hiking pants, and accessories such as balaclavas, neck warmers, and beanies. Material, construction, protection, and testing requirements are defined against the buyer's intended activity, climate, and approved specification.
Program fit
Athletik is a China-based OEM/ODM manufacturer for knitted and knit-based outdoor clothing, with production in Zhangjiagang. Its program is best suited to established and mid-sized outdoor brands, wholesalers, and importers developing specification-led layers for a defined activity and climate, with coordinated fabrics, construction, features, and testing criteria.
Category overview
Product range
Hooded, crew, and zip-front mid-layers can be developed in Genesis fleece, brushed-back fabrics, grid structures, and other thermal knits. Fabric weight, stretch, construction, and warmth targets are selected for the intended layering system and confirmed through sampling.
Knit tops, bottoms, and thermal underwear can be developed for stationary, low-output, or active cold-weather use. Composition, GSM, brushed or fleece surfaces, fit, and layering clearance are specified for the target climate and activity.
Knit hiking tops, layers, jackets, and pants can be developed around the required fit, stretch, pocket layout, reinforcement, and weather-protection details. Abrasion, thermal, moisture-management, and recovery requirements are checked against the agreed test method and acceptance criteria.
Merino wool blends, synthetic thermal knits, and Genesis fleece can be specified for next-to-skin, insulation, or mid-layer applications. Composition, structure, loft, hand feel, stretch, and care requirements are confirmed for each program.
Construction & fabric
Send the product type, intended activity and climate, target market, size range, fit, composition, GSM, knit structure, stretch and recovery targets, weather-protection requirements, seam map, trims, artwork, testing criteria, order quantity, and tech pack or reference sample. Buyers can specify single jersey, interlock, rib, fleece, brushed-back or grid structures, together with knit-based lamination or membrane, DWR, and insulation requirements. Construction options include FLATLOCK, ACTIVESEAM, COVERSTITCH, OVERLOCK, seamless, bonded-welded, and taped seams, plus project-specific zippers, thumbholes, pockets, reinforcement, branding, labels, and packaging. Our manufacturing scope is knitted and knit-based outdoor clothing; non-knit fabric constructions are outside this page's production scope.
Program execution
Product scope, material, construction, and testing requirements are recorded in the current specification and approved sample so development and bulk production can be reviewed against the same criteria.
Outdoor programs are developed in knitted and knit-based fabrics for the buyer's intended activity, climate, fit, protection level, and branding requirements.
The quality plan is set against the approved material and garment specification, sample, test method, and buyer acceptance criteria.
Buyer questions
The public garment MOQ is 500 pieces per style. Material, color, size allocation, sampling, testing, and final production terms are confirmed in the project quotation.
Provide the product type, intended activity and climate, target market, size range, fit, composition, GSM, knit structure, stretch and recovery targets, protection requirements, feature and seam details, artwork, testing criteria, quantity, and tech pack or reference sample.
Yes, when the program uses knitted or knit-based fabric construction. Jackets, hiking pants, laminated or membrane-based layers, DWR requirements, and taped-seam options are developed against the buyer's specification. Non-knit fabric constructions are outside this page's production scope.
The buyer defines the intended use, test method, and acceptance criteria. Testing can cover colorfastness, shrinkage, pilling, GSM, fiber composition, stretch/recovery, abrasion, thermal performance, moisture management, hydrostatic head, and MVTR. Customer-specified third-party testing can be arranged when required.
Four-step workflow
Each outdoor program moves through defined material, construction, testing, and approval points. Exact timing, test methods, acceptance criteria, commercial terms, and delivery responsibilities are confirmed in the project quotation.
Share the product type, target activity and climate, market, material and protection requirements, fit, features, testing needs, quantity, timing, and delivery destination. We review the knitted or knit-based route, missing inputs, and quotation variables.
Composition, GSM, knit structure, color, finish, protection requirements, construction, trims, and the sample route are developed against the brief. Material, fit, measurements, test criteria, and packaging are approved before final order terms are confirmed. Sampling timing depends on material and style complexity.
Bulk production follows the approved sample and current specification. Incoming material, in-line and final garment checks, together with agreed performance testing, are reviewed before shipment release.
Packing instructions, standard export documents, freight booking information, and delivery scope are aligned before dispatch. Final shipping terms are confirmed for the order.
