Lightweight full shell bump cap

03 April 2019

Although weighing less than 135g, JSP's HardCap AeroLite full shell bump cap does not compromise on performance.

It is designed to be worn where there is a risk of impact to the front and top of the head and scrapes to the side from stationary objects.

The textile cover has large open weave panels to facilitate transfer of cool air to the head, reducing heat build-up and making it one of the coolest caps on the market. Underneath the textile cover is a tough HDPE shell and a lightweight EPP impact liner that is said to offer class leading impact performance. 

Polygiene treated sweatband and foam-cushion comfort pads guard against growth of bacteria, fungus and mildew, reducing skin irritations and odours and, therefore, requiring less washing. The Polygiene treatment is effective for the lifetime of the product. 

Tested to BS EN 812, the HardCap AeroLite consistently exceeded its requirements, recording an average transmitted force of just 5kN – well below the maximum 15kN allowed by the standard. It was also successfully tested at temperature of -40°C and +50°C. It is adjustable to fit head sizes from 53 to 63cm and is available in black or blue, with either a 50 or 25mm peak.
