Head-Protecting Bump Cap
Black Head-Protecting Bump Cap on left with red arrow pointing to a yellow baseball cap indicating the Bump Cap goes inside the baseball cap.

A Head-Protecting Bump Cap is designed to guard against scrapes, bruises, or minor injuries that may incur when one bumps into or knocks against a stationary object (e.g., low ceiling, overhead pipe, underside of a vehicle). Although resembling a soft, flexible baseball or golf hat, the cap is covering a durable polyethylene insert (shell) plus closed-cell foam that absorbs the result of incidental contact. All makes provide perforated sides that allow for cross ventilation and offer various numerous choices regarding color, bill length, etc.

Caution symbol Caution Notes: A bump cap is not a substitute for a hard hat.
Estimated Cost Cost range: Cap w/ insert-$20-40; insert only-$5-$15
