The next generation of impact protection with full brim coverage
The Vaikobi GenII Bucket Bump Hat delivers a full brim bucket hat design that shields your face, ears, and neck from the sun and the elements while having trusted EN 812 certified bump protection to protect you from bumps and knocks. Lightweight enough to forget you're wearing it, tough enough to handle whatever the water throws at you. The ultimate full brim impact cap for foilers, sailors, and watersports athletes who need protection from every angle.
