Newfoundland dog "Missy" Our Wawets logo. Just like Missy Wawets is waterproof clothing  "Built to Protect"

Why we called it WAWETS!

When we set out to create our agriwear brand, we wanted a name that carried the essence of where we come from — wild, weather-beaten, and resilient. That’s how WAWETS was born.

WAWETS stands for Wild Atlantic Wets.
Our name reflects the raw beauty and toughness of life on the Irish Atlantic coast. It’s a place where the wind howls, the rain lashes sideways, and the work never stops — and neither do the people. WAWETS is designed for exactly that world: waterproof, durable, and made to move with you through every task and season.

But our name is only part of the story.

Our symbol — the Newfoundland dog — carries deep meaning. This powerful, protective breed was built for harsh weather and hard work, with a thick coat designed to withstand the elements. To us, it represents strength, endurance, and quiet loyalty — everything WAWETS stands for.

Our logo was inspired by our own Newfoundland, Missy, a constant presence and a symbol of quiet protection. She reminded us daily of what it means to be tough, dependable, and always there — no matter the conditions.

When you see that Newfoundland, you're seeing more than a logo. You're seeing a promise: that our gear will stand by you, protect you, and perform — in every kind of weather, every kind of work.

WAWETS is more than clothing, Wawets is "Built to protect"
