DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Lightweight and Discreet Protection
The internal ABS shell of the Bucket Bump Hat offers impact protection without the bulk of a traditional helmet. You get the look of a bucket hat while adding a useful layer of safety for high-speed falls or unintentional contact with your board.
Low Profile and Secure Fit for Active Conditions
The low profile of the hat limits wind resistance and improves its hold on your head. The adjustable chin strap lets you customize the fit for different riding phases, keeping the hat in place during accelerations and falls.
Comfort and Water-Adapted Materials
Designed with durable, quick-drying polyester, the Bucket Bump Hat remains comfortable even after several hours in the water. The fabric prevents pressure points and dries quickly between sessions, which is practical for long days at the spot.
Hearing Safety and Visibility
Integrated ear covers reduce the risk of eardrum trauma during impacts with water, a useful detail for foil and wing riders. Reflective logos increase visibility at the beginning and end of the day.
