Forward Wip Surf Cap Bump Shell

Forward WIP SURF CAP – Bump Shell Protection

The Forward WIP SURF CAP Bump Shell delivers discreet impact protection in a classic surf-cap silhouette — ideal for riders who want added safety without the bulk or look of a helmet.

Positioned between a soft cap and a full helmet, this lightweight bump shell is certified to NF EN812 (⚠️ not EN1385 helmet certified). Developed over two years in collaboration with athletes and designers, it features a biomimetic shell structure inspired by scallop shells, optimising strength while keeping weight to a minimum.

Designed for high-mobility water sports, the SURF CAP offers low-profile impact protection, UV coverage, and a secure, stay-put fit that performs reliably in active surf and open-water conditions.
