Ergodyne launches new breathable, lightweight bump caps

By Michelle Froese | July 23, 2019

Available in micro (30mm / 1in), short (50mm / 2in), or long (80mm / 3in) brim lengths, the new Skullerz bump cap meets the EN 812-2012 standard.

Ergodyne‘s new Skullerz Lightweight Bump Caps offer durable head protection against bumps, scrapes, and bruises in areas with low ceilings, overhead beams, or other tight spaces and confined quarters.

The new versions are designed to be lighter, cooler, and more comfortable than their predecessors. These bump caps weigh in at 40% lighter than the previous Skullerz 8950, with cooling channels to help vent heat and increase airflow over the top of the bump cap.

“In the past, bump caps have typically been heavy, uncomfortable and hot, and we wanted to completely change that,” said Chris Cota, Senior Product Manager, Ergodyne.

The lightweight but durable HDPE bump cap is covered by an airy mesh outer cap for increased breathability and cooling. Inside, the comfortable and protective padding works to channel air out to prevent heat buildup. These improvements result in a lighter, cooler bump cap that still conforms to the world’s only bump cap standard, EN 812-2012.

Other improvements include an optional LED light for work at night or in low-light conditions. The new bump caps come in three brim lengths: micro, short, and long brim, and all feature reflective accents for visibility in low lighting.
