Explore our foundational engineering capabilities across extreme outdoor sports, performance insulation, and marine waders.
How Xiamen Yuelei Sports Co., Ltd. transformed from an e-commerce pioneer into a state-of-the-art technical apparel OEM/ODM powerhouse.
In the highly demanding outdoor gear vertical, a hunting jacket is not merely a garment; it is a critical survival tool. It must defend against extreme wind, torrential rain, sub-zero temperatures, and rough terrain while maintaining complete silence and low visual detection. For global procurement officers, locating a factory that possesses both structural integrity and operational agility is key. This is the challenge that Xiamen Yuelei Sports Co., Ltd. solves through our dedicated industrial framework.
Our journey represents a direct adaptation to supply chain challenges. Originally starting on AliExpress in 2021 as a cross-border retailer under our proprietary LKVER brand, we specialized in high-performance ski jackets and wetsuits. When market demand escalated rapidly, the common failure points of outsourced factories—such as extended production delays, inconsistent seam tape applications, and poor fabric grading—became a bottle-neck. To protect our brand reputation and ensure consistent delivery schedules, we took a decisive step: we built our own specialized production workshop. Today, this operation spans 1,600 square meters, utilizes advanced thermal lamination machinery, and employs 30 skilled technical workers. We have transitioned into a direct manufacturer operating two Alibaba International platforms and one AliExpress store, serving both small-batch premium brands and major wholesale entities globally.
"Xiamen Yuelei Sports Co., Ltd. operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Xiamen, China, covering 1600㎡ and staffed by approximately 30 skilled professionals. We specialize in OEM and ODM for outdoor apparel, utilizing advanced production equipment and rigorous quality control processes to ensure every product meets the highest standards. Our factory is equipped to provide comprehensive customization services, allowing us to tailor our offerings to the specific needs of our clients."
"Xiamen Yuelei Outdoor Sports Co., Ltd., where LKVER is based, began selling ski jackets and wetsuits on AliExpress in 2021. Due to a surge in orders and our suppliers' inability to produce on time, the company decided to establish its own production workshop under the LKVER brand. As the workshop was built, Yuelei Outdoor Sports Co., Ltd. expanded its wholesale trade model and now operates two Alibaba International platforms and one AliExpress store. Every year, we handle production and customization for a large number of new and returning customers."
An anatomical analysis of our strategic positioning in the global supply chain, technical textile access, and process precision.
Located in Fujian's outdoor industrial cluster, we leverage immediate access to technical textile mills specializing in high-density nylon, PTFE/PU membrane laminates, and silent brushed tricot. This local integration shortens fabric sourcing times and lowers shipping costs.
By keeping pattern making, fabric testing, and high-frequency welding inside our workshop, we eliminate communication gaps. This allows us to handle customized orders quickly and troubleshoot design issues in real-time.
Every hunting jacket undergoes rigorous testing, including hydrostatic pressure tests to verify waterproof levels, and pull tests on seams to ensure long-term durability. We guarantee seam tape adhesion to prevent delamination over time.
How the combination of materials science, environmental laws, and digital manufacturing is shaping the next generation of gear.
Modern hunting demands zero-noise movement. Innovations in micro-brushed polyester tricot and multi-layer laminates prevent rustling, allowing hunters to move quietly in cold weather.
Environmental regulations in Europe and North America require the elimination of fluorinated compounds. Our factory offers advanced C0 water repellency, matching traditional DWR performance while meeting strict eco-standards.
Traditional wood-and-leaf designs are shifting toward science-based digital patterns that confuse animal vision. We support direct-to-fabric sublimation printing to replicate these complex designs accurately.
Our technical design focuses on balancing waterproof protection and breathability. A standard shell might keep rain out, but high physical exertion can trap sweat inside, causing discomfort or chills. We use polyurethane (PU) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes with billions of microscopic pores per square inch. These pores are large enough to let water vapor escape, yet small enough to block external water droplets. Combined with our underarm ventilation zippers and laser-cut venting holes, our hunting jackets maintain performance in both wet and dry conditions.
Optimizing custom jacket features to match regional climates, regulation requirements, and specific game hunting styles.

How we help our clients minimize risks, maintain consistent product quality, and scale their businesses efficiently.
Managing global outdoor brands comes with significant supply chain risks. Delayed shipments, inconsistent fabric quality, and sudden factory capacity drops can impact seasonal sales. Building on our experience resolving early supply issues for our own LKVER brand in 2021, Xiamen Yuelei Sports Co., Ltd. has developed a reliable supply system designed to mitigate these risks for our clients.
We work with trusted fabric suppliers, keeping pre-tested materials in stock to shorten lead times. Our factory floor uses modular production lines, allowing us to shift assembly lines easily between large bulk orders and smaller customized batches. Additionally, we run a detailed quality control checklist, inspecting fabrics when they arrive and testing finished garments under pressure to prevent quality issues before they ship.
A step-by-step breakdown of our manufacturing process, from design evaluation to final shipment.
We review your drawings or reference samples. Our engineering team assists with seam layout optimization, fabric selection, and accessory placement (such as YKK waterproof zippers and DuraFlex buckles).
We produce a physical sample to test pattern fit and performance. We conduct rain tests on the shell, check seam tape placement, and refine pattern fits before moving forward.
Once samples are approved and fabrics arrive, we begin bulk production. Automated cutting systems ensure high precision, and our inline inspection team monitors sewing and seam sealing at every stage.
