Wavian USA has a new home. As of September 10, 2026, wavian.com is the official online store for Wavian NATO jerry cans in the United States. If you have wavianusa.com bookmarked, it now forwards here, and nothing else changes: same cans, same warehouse in Chico, California, same team.
Why a dedicated site
For the past year you may have noticed that wavianusa.com redirected to the Wavian category on swisslink.com. That was the result of some restructuring at Swiss-Link. It worked for ordering, but it meant the specifications, the color range, the holders and the wear parts were spread across dozens of separate listings inside a much larger surplus and preparedness catalog, with no single place to explain what a NATO jerry can actually is and how to use one well.
We have since built out a better experience for everyone here at wavian.com. Every Wavian product is on one site, each size is a single product page with all of its colors, and the guides that answer the questions we get asked most often live alongside the cans instead of in a support inbox. swisslink.com is still your go-to destination for authentic military surplus and camping gear; wavian.com is now the home for the cans.
What is on the site
- Wavian 20L NATO Jerry Can in Red, Yellow, Blue, Olive Drab and Black, with the color-matched spout included.
- Wavian 10L NATO Jerry Can in the same five colors, built from the same 0.9 mm steel.
- Wavian 22L Water Can in Blue, Black and OD Green. All three colors are sold out right now; the restock is on the way and we will post here the day it lands.
- Holders: top-loading and front-loading steel holders for the 20L can, and a top-loading holder for the 10L.
- Replacement parts: spouts, lids, gaskets and pins, so a can you bought years ago can be kept in service.
Domestic shipping is a flat $8.00 and free on orders of $150.00 and up. Orders ship from Chico, California.
The Guides library
Eleven guides are live at wavian.com/blogs/guides, written to answer the questions people actually type into a search bar before they buy a fuel can. A few to start with:
- What Is a NATO Jerry Can?
- Steel vs Plastic Gas Cans
- Jerry Can Sizes Explained
- How to Mount a Jerry Can
- The History of the Jerry Can
Two pages worth knowing about as well: Where Are Wavian Jerry Cans Made?, which settles the Latvia question with first-hand detail, and the FAQ.
