DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Lightweight and Discreet Protection
The Bucket Bump Hat's internal ABS shell provides impact protection without the bulk of a traditional helmet. You get the look of a bucket hat while adding a crucial layer of safety for high-speed wipeouts or accidental knocks from your board.
Low Profile and Secure Fit for Active Conditions
The hat's low profile reduces windage and helps it stay put. The adjustable chin strap lets you dial in the fit for different conditions, keeping the hat secure during fast runs and falls.
Comfort and Water-Ready Materials
Made from durable, quick-drying polyester, the Bucket Bump Hat stays comfortable even after hours in the water. The fabric prevents pressure points and dries fast between sessions, perfect for long days at your local spot.
Ear Protection and Visibility
Integrated ear flaps reduce the risk of a perforated eardrum from slapping the water, a key feature for foilers and wingers. Reflective logos make you more visible at dawn and dusk.
