WIP Wide Brimmed Bump Cap "Surf Bob" Forward WIP

WIP Wide Brimmed Bump Cap

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 an EN812:2012 certification, it delivers all-day comfort and confidence on the water.

The WIP Wide Brimmed Bump Cap is designed for sailors and watersports athletes who need discreet head protection without compromising comfort or performance. Combining lightweight impact protection with a wide-brim design, it offers excellent defence against knocks while providing outstanding sun protection during long days on the water.

At the heart of the cap is integrated D3O® impact protection. This advanced, CE-certified material remains soft and flexible during normal wear but instantly stiffens upon impact to absorb and disperse energy. Strategically positioned within the cap, the D3O® pads help protect against accidental contact with booms, masts, and other hard surfaces commonly encountered in sailing and foiling.

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

A reinforced wide sun brim delivers excellent protection from glare and UV exposure without restricting visibility, making it ideal for sailing, coaching, race management, and other on-water activities. Integrated ear protectors provide additional coverage in demanding conditions.

Certified to EN812:2012, the WIP Wide Brimmed Bump Cap offers practical everyday impact protection for high-performance sailing, foiling, and watersports where comfort, mobility, and safety are equally important.
