Mayo firm launches women's agri workwear range

AgriShield, a leading innovator in durable agricultural workwear, has announced the launch of its first-ever women’s range, designed specifically for women working in Irish agriculture.

This milestone comes after extensive research and collaboration with women across the agri sector, ensuring a collection that balances durability, comfort and style.

The new women’s line was developed in direct response to the growing presence of women in agriculture, who make up a significant and rising share of Ireland’s farming community.

Traditionally, protective and practical gear in the sector has been designed for men, leaving many women to adapt ill-fitting clothing not built for their needs or safety.

AgriShield’s research involved in-depth surveys, focus groups, and field trials with female farmers, agristudents, vets, and agri-business professionals.

The findings highlighted the demand for high-performance, tailored gear that is functional yet comfortable, addressing issues such as fit, flexibility and durability.

The result is a versatile collection of All-Weather Jacket, All-Weather Trousers, Dairy Gown and Dairy Bib & Brace that blend advanced fabric technology with design features adapted to women’s work in the field.

Every piece has been rigorously tested to withstand Ireland’s demanding weather conditions and the everyday realities of farm life.

“This launch marks an important step forward in recognising and supporting women in agriculture,” said Rachel Davoren, MD at Portwest Ireland AgriShield.

“We wanted to create gear that truly reflects the vital role women play in the agri sector, combining strength, functionality, and comfort without compromise.”

The women’s range are available from through selected retail partners nationwide.
