Forward PRO Cool Cap Bump Shell - Black

The Forward WIP COOL CAP Bump Shell is a breakthrough in lightweight head protection — a stylish cap that hides a certified impact-protective shell inside. Designed as the perfect alternative between a soft cap and a full helmet, it’s built to EN812 bump-cap standards (⚠️ not EN1385 helmet certified). After two years of development, testing and refinement with riders and designers, Forward WIP created a unique biomimetic shell inspired by the strength and structure of scallop shells.

For sailors, foilers, coaches and water-sports athletes who want protection without the bulk of a helmet, the COOL CAP blends safety, comfort and everyday style.
