Why the raincoat is the wet-season workhorse
Mexico's wet season runs from May to October across most of the country. Veracruz humidity, Bajío storm season, CDMX summer afternoon thunderstorms — the raincoat is the lowest-cost piece of wet-weather apparel in the catalogue, and the one that gets stuffed into a backpack, a glove box and a tote bag for the rainy season. Compared to the t-shirt that lives in the gym bag or the umbrella that lives in the coat closet, the raincoat is the wet-season piece that gets worn without warning.
We supply the catalogue brands that Mexican purchasing teams recognise — Helly Hansen, The North Face, Patagonia, Columbia, Eddie Bauer, and the equivalent Chinese-import PU and polyester lines at lower cost. The packable emergency poncho with carry pouch is the trade-show workhorse. The full-length raincoat with hood is the corporate uniform tier. The two-piece rainsuit is the engineering field-team segment. The lightweight windbreaker with water-resistant PU coating is the trade-show and conference tier.

Pricing, MOQ, lead time and where we make them
MXN pricing before IVA 16%. Standard MOQ is 100 units for packable ponchos, 50 units for full-length raincoats. Volume breaks at 250 / 500 / 1,000 / 2,500 / 5,000 units, with up to 32% off from 1,000 units. Standard lead time 12–18 working days; rush 7–10 days carries a +30% surcharge. Mexican cut-and-sew PU-coated polyester is 4–5 weeks regardless of rush.
Decoration hubs: screen print in Iztapalapa and Gustavo A. Madero for the CDMX high-volume runs. Embroidery in Tlalnepantla and León for the corporate runs. Mexican cut-and-sew PU-coated polyester in Atlacomulco and Tehuacán for the Hecho en México artisan segment. Cross-border drops to Laredo file the USMCA supplier declaration; the same raincoat that walks out of a Silao plant for a US dealer event does not require re-invoicing in the US when the preference criterion is met.
For US parent groups buying through their Mexican subsidiary, we invoice in MXN via SPEI; for US headquarters buying directly, we invoice in USD via wire with the IVA 16% line shown for acreditamiento where applicable.
