Engineered for protection, comfort, and performance on the water, the Vaikobi Bucket Bump Hat with full brim delivers certified impact protection wrapped in a lightweight, functional design. Built for surf, SUP, foiling, surf ski, kayaking and general boating, it helps reduce the risk of minor knocks, bruises, and cuts—making it ideal for high-speed watersports and rocky shore environments.
The hat combines a rigid moulded shell, shock-absorbing 3D foam, and a durable Cordura outer to offer dependable protection without unnecessary bulk. A stiff 360-degree brim maintains its shape, won’t fold over your eyes, and features a black underside to minimise glare while enhancing visibility on bright days.
With UV50+ sun protection, quick-dry materials, adjustable chin and ear straps, and internal airflow channels, this is essential headgear for paddlers and water athletes who want confidence, comfort, and clear vision in constantly changing conditions.
Part of the Vaikobi Impact Protection Series, the Bucket Bump Hat is purpose-built for everyday performance—on open water, in surf zones, and across all fast-paced sessions.
