WIP Sailing Bob Bump Shell – bump and sun protection for sailing
WIP Bump Shells are not helmets but bump caps certified to EN 812: they reduce the effect of small bumps and knocks and protect against minor cuts and scrapes. The flexible shell is inspired by nature – its shape and structure are based on scallop shells, which offer exceptional strength at low weight (biomimicry).
The Sailing Bob fully shields your head and face from UV rays. The reinforced front peak of the SunBrim is designed to resist the wind, and the 360° elastic system keeps it in place. Thanks to its low weight you can wear it for long periods without bulk.
Ideal for light sailing, coaching and board sports – pumping, downwind, wing foiling, parawing, windsurfing and kitesurfing – as well as for sailing instructors and lifeguards.
Note: Bump Shells are certified to EN 812 and do not replace a water sports helmet certified to EN 1385. For freestyle, high speeds or obstacles, WIP recommends a helmet.
