Engineered for Performance

The Portwest Bump Cap (PW59) bridges the gap between a standard baseball cap and a heavy-duty safety helmet. Designed strictly for protection against stationary objects—such as low ceilings, hanging pipes, or protruding machinery—this cap is certified to EN812 standards. The internal high-profile ABS shell acts as a robust shock absorber, while the EVA foam pad cushions the impact, significantly reducing the risk of cuts and bruises in confined workspaces. While not a substitute for a hard hat in falling-object zones, it is an essential piece of PPE for mechanics, food processing operatives, and maintenance staff. The 100% cotton outer fabric ensures the cap remains breathable and durable. For comprehensive head safety management, consider where full Head Protection is required versus this lighter alternative.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Workforce compliance is driven by comfort, and the PW59 excels in low-risk environments where bulky helmets are unnecessary. The cap features eight strategically placed ventilation ports that promote airflow, preventing heat build-up during physical tasks. The hook-and-loop back adjuster ensures a secure, personalised fit for all staff members, accommodating various head shapes easily. The soft padded crown sits gently against the head, allowing for all-day wear without irritation. Its unobtrusive design makes it popular among logistics and automotive teams who need agility and protection without the weight of a full industrial helmet.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• Automotive repair and maintenance shops.
• Food processing and light manufacturing.
• Warehouse inventory checks in confined racking.

Corporate Branding & Compatibility

This bump cap is an excellent candidate for embroidery, allowing businesses to maintain corporate identity while ensuring safety. The cotton outer surface holds stitching well for logos. Coordinate with Polo Shirts for a cohesive and professional team uniform.
