WIP XOver Helmet with Visor – Forward WIP

The Forward WIP XOver Helmet with Visor is a lightweight, high-performance water sports helmet designed for foiling, sailing, kiteboarding, and other high-speed impact environments. Featuring integrated CAT 3 UV visor protection, CE-certified impact protection, and an aerodynamic low-profile design, the XOver Helmet is available from BoatCrewGear.com with fast Australia-wide shipping from Sydney, NSW.

When speed increases, so does the need for reliable head protection. The Forward WIP XOver Helmet with Visor has been engineered for modern high-performance water sports including wingfoiling, dinghy sailing, kiteboarding, windsurfing, and other activities where impact protection and visibility are critical.

The XOver combines lightweight In-Mold construction with impact-absorbing internal foam, creating a helmet that provides serious protection without restricting movement or adding unnecessary bulk. Its rounded aerodynamic profile helps reduce drag while protecting the rear and sides of the head during high-speed crashes and unexpected impacts.

The integrated adjustable CAT 3 smoke/mirror visor provides protection from sun glare, spray, and airborne debris while maintaining clear vision during fast manoeuvres. The visor can slide upwards when additional ventilation or an unobstructed view is required.

Designed specifically for sailors and watersports athletes, the XOver features a Micrometric Fit System adjustment wheel, thermoformed comfort padding, removable ear protectors, and a magnetic quick-release buckle for secure and convenient use.

The helmet is certified to multiple safety standards including EN1385, EN1077B, and EN1078, making it suitable for high-speed water sports and other impact environments.
