Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bump hat?

A bump hat is a lightweight protective cap with a thin rigid shell and shock-absorbing foam, designed to protect your head from minor knocks, cuts, and scrapes during watersports. It looks like a normal cap or bucket hat but offers EN 812 certified impact protection. Read our full bump hat guide.

What's the difference between a bump hat and a helmet?

A bump hat protects against low-speed impacts you cause yourself, like hitting your own board or a boom, and is EN 812 certified. A helmet is EN 1385 certified and protects against high-velocity impacts like rocks or hard water landings. A bump hat isn't a substitute for a helmet in high-consequence conditions. Read our full comparison.

Which Vaikobi Bump Hat should I choose?

The Bump Hat Surf suits surfing and ocean foiling with a secure chin strap, the Bump Hat Hydro suits flat-water paddling with a less restrictive draw-cord, and the Bucket Bump Hat suits sailing and downwinders with a full 360° sun brim. All are EN 812 certified. Read our bump hat guide.

    Comfortable and good vision

    I have been using the bucket bump hat for a while now, but was having issues seeing my telltales sailing. The cap works way better vision wise and is just as comfortable.

    Surf - blue Bump

    Didn’t want a crash hat so researched for a top level bump cap. This is the best. Stays on your head, very comfortable and the strap isn’t a nuisance - BRILLIANT

    Bump hat

    I have over a dozen helmets and hats over the last 25 years. The Bump Hat surf is definitely the best. Comfortable, rugged, and well designed. Gave one to son and wife and they like them too.
