Forward PRO Surf Bob Bump Shell - Grey

The Forward WIP SURF BOB Bump Shell delivers discreet impact protection inside a classic, wide-brimmed surf hat — perfect for riders who want full UV coverage and lightweight protection without wearing a helmet.

Sitting between a soft hat and a true protective helmet, it is certified to EN812 bump-cap standards (⚠️ not EN1385 helmet certified). Using a biomimetic shell structure inspired by the strength and resilience of scallop shells, it offers exceptional protection-to-weight performance.

With a reinforced front SunBrim designed for easier duck diving, and a fully adjustable 360° fit system, the SURF BOB is ideal for surfers, foilers and water-sports athletes who need maximum coverage without compromising comfort.
