Description

The Forward WIP Cool Cap Bump Shell is for riders who want a discreet cap-style solution for minor impact protection rather than the fuller feel of a traditional helmet. It is a neat option for sailing, foiling and board sports where low bulk, comfort and casual styling all matter. The key thing here is realism. This is not meant to replace a full helmet in higher-impact scenarios. It is a low-profile bump shell for riders who want something lighter and less intrusive for lower-risk use cases.

Where It Sits in the Forward WIP Range

In the Forward WIP range, the Cool Cap Bump Shell sits well below the full helmets in terms of coverage and protection level, but it is also far easier to wear if you dislike the feel of a conventional helmet. It shares that lightweight, low-profile idea with the Forward WIP Surf Cap Bump Shell and Forward WIP Surf Bob Bump Shell, just in a cap-led format. If you ride fast, foil aggressively or want the most reassurance possible, a full helmet such as the Forward WIP PRO WIP 2.0 Helmet is still the better call.

Why Choose the Forward WIP Cool Cap Bump Shell?

  • Cap-style design feels far less intrusive than a full helmet.
  • Useful for minor knocks and cuts in lower-risk watersports scenarios.
  • Lightweight construction makes it easy to wear for long periods.
  • Nature-inspired shell design gives it a distinctive, premium look.
  • A good option for riders who would otherwise avoid head protection altogether.

Helpful Reading & Buying Advice

FAQs

Is this as protective as a full helmet?

No. It is designed for lighter bump protection and a lower-profile feel, not as a direct substitute for a full watersports helmet in harder-impact use.

Who is it best for?

Riders who want something discreet and comfortable for lower-risk sessions, or who really dislike the feel of a full helmet.

Can I use it for foiling?

You can, but be realistic. For more committed foiling or faster riding, a proper full helmet remains the safer choice.
