Bucket - Black

Yes — and it’s even safer than most of them.

BangProof was independently tested by Virginia Tech for impact absorption, where it ranked as the #1 soft-shell helmet, outperforming most hard-shell helmets on the market.

Traditional water helmets use a rigid plastic shell with EPS foam inside. They’re stiff, bulky, and typically designed for a single impact — after one serious hit, the foam compresses permanently and should be replaced.

BangProof works differently. It’s flexible at rest, adapts to your head for a close, pressure-free fit, and hardens on impact to deliver real protection.

Compared to some of the most popular hard-shell helmets, it showed:

• up to 25% better protection on heavy impacts
  
• up to 50% better protection on low impacts
  

And unlike EPS helmets, BangProof maintains its protective properties across multiple impacts — built for real sessions, not just one slam.

Other helmet hats on the market are not real helmets. They’re bump caps - designed for minor bumps. They don’t provide the level of protection required for water sport helmet.

BangProof is different. It’s the world’s first soft-shell helmet certified to CE EN 1385, the safety standard for water sports helmets.

So while other helmet hats may look similar, BangProof offers certified protection — with the comfort, flexibility, and low-profile look.

Yes, BangProof features anti-cut protection thanks to a Kevlar/Diolen composite layer placed over the impact-absorbing foam.

It helps protect not just from sharp fins and foils, but also from rocks, reefs, and other sharp edges you might encounter in the water.
