WIP Wide Brimmed Bump Cap - Surf Bob, Forward WIP

WIP Wide Brimmed Bump Cap is a lightweight protective sailing cap designed for sailors, foilers, coaches, and watersports athletes who need discreet impact protection with full sun coverage. Available from BoatCrewGear.com, we stock genuine WIP equipment in Sydney, NSW with fast Australia-wide shipping.

The WIP Wide Brimmed Bump Cap combines lightweight impact protection with 360° sun coverage for sailors, foilers, and watersports enthusiasts. Featuring integrated D3O® impact technology, a flexible protective shell, ear protection, and EN812:2012 certification, it delivers all-day comfort and confidence on the water.

Designed for demanding marine environments, the cap provides discreet head protection without compromising comfort or performance. Its integrated D3O® impact protection remains soft and flexible during normal wear but instantly stiffens on impact to absorb and disperse energy. Strategically positioned throughout the cap, the D3O® pads help reduce the effects of accidental knocks from booms, masts, and other hard surfaces commonly encountered during sailing and foiling.

The flexible internal protective shell offers a secure, low-profile fit that remains comfortable throughout the day. A 360° elastic adjustment system provides a snug fit, while breathable, quick-drying materials help keep you cool and comfortable in changing conditions.

A reinforced wide brim delivers excellent protection from glare and harmful UV exposure without restricting visibility, making it ideal for sailing, coaching, race management, and other on-water activities. Integrated ear protectors provide additional coverage, while the EN812:2012 certification offers reassurance that the cap meets recognised protective standards for everyday impact protection.

Whether you're racing a dinghy, foiling at speed, coaching from a RIB, or spending long hours on the water, the WIP Wide Brimmed Bump Cap delivers lightweight protection, sun coverage, and lasting comfort.
