This bump cap looks like an ordinary baseball cap but has a protective shell inside. It helps protect your head when you knock it against branches, low beams, vehicle doors and other fixed objects. The bright colour also makes you easier to see on site or near the road.
What a Bump Cap Protects Against.
A bump cap protects against bumps and scrapes when your head hits something solid. It is not a hard hat and won’t protect you from falling objects. If your risk assessment calls for a safety helmet, you’ll need one of those instead.
For jobs like working under hedges and trees, getting in and out of machinery or working in tight spaces, a bump cap is lighter and more comfortable to wear all day.
A Long Peak for Working in Bright Light.
The peak is 7cm long, so it shades your eyes better than a standard cap. That helps when you’re working towards a low sun or in strong glare.
Ventilation to Keep You Cooler.
The back of the cap is a mesh panel, and the inner shell has ventilation holes, so air can move around your head. You’ll notice it on warm days and during heavier physical work.
Adjustable Fit.
The size adjusts with a hook and loop strap at the back. It’s quick to get a snug fit, and easy to readjust if you wear a hat liner underneath in winter.
