WIP Short Peak Bump Cap - Surf Cap Forward WIP

WIP Short Peak Bump Cap is a lightweight protective sailing cap designed for sailors, foilers, surfers, wingfoilers, and watersports athletes who need discreet impact protection with maximum upward visibility. BoatCrewGear.com is an Australian specialist sailing retailer, stocking genuine Forward WIP products with fast Australia-wide shipping from our Sydney warehouse.

The WIP Short Peak Bump Cap is purpose-built for sailors and watersports athletes who need lightweight head protection without compromising their field of vision. Featuring an ultra-short cork peak, it allows you to look up naturally at sails, wings, kites, or waves without the brim getting in the way—making it an excellent choice for high-performance sailing, wingfoiling, foiling, and surfing.

Integrated D3O® impact protection provides discreet defence against everyday knocks from booms, masts, rigging, and other hard surfaces. The advanced D3O® material remains soft and flexible during normal use but instantly stiffens on impact to absorb and disperse energy, providing protection without the bulk of a traditional helmet.

A lightweight flexible shell keeps the profile low while maintaining all-day comfort. Breathable, quick-drying materials help regulate temperature during active sessions, while the rear double adjustment system delivers a secure fit that stays comfortable in rough conditions. Integrated ear protectors add further protection from wind, spray, and incidental contact.

Certified to EN812:2012, the WIP Short Peak Bump Cap is ideal for sailors, foilers, coaches, surfers, and marine professionals seeking lightweight everyday impact protection where unrestricted upward visibility is essential.
