There are numerous safety hazards on board ? being hit by the boom for example ? yet sailors are often reluctant to wear safety helmets as they can be heavy, uncomfortable and unattractive. Our yachting caps incorporate a hard injection-moulded shell for protection and foam padding for comfort and they meet the requirements of EU Standard Specifications EN812 (similar to building site bump caps). A large peak protects against bright sunshine and we also offer a narrow peak version to enable the helm to look up and see the wind indicator at the top of the mast.
