The Forward WIP X-OVER Helmet is a high-speed, ultra-precise watersports helmet engineered for athletes pushing the limits. Built with lightweight In-Mold construction for exceptional shock absorption, it delivers aerodynamic performance and a secure, customised fit — chosen by America’s Cup teams, SailGP crews, and the fastest riders in kitefoil, wing foil and windsurf disciplines.
The internal thermoformed foam pads adapt closely to the head, while the micrometric fit system and magnetic quick-release buckle ensure a stable, comfortable and easy-to-adjust fit. Designed for versatility, the X-OVER is compatible with visors and the optional Wiplash retention system.
