Portwest Long Peak Bump Cap

Product Overview

The Long Peak Bump Cap is a modern and functional head protection solution designed for workers who require a balance between comfort and safety. Unlike traditional hard hats, this cap offers a more streamlined profile while providing essential protection against minor head impacts and scrapes. Finished in a professional navy, it features a 7cm long peak specifically designed to protect the wearer from glare, making it an ideal choice for those working in bright environments or outdoors.

Key Features

• 7cm Extended Peak: Offers superior protection from sunlight and overhead glare, improving visibility and reducing eye strain.
• Breathable Mesh Panel: The rear mesh section works in tandem with the internal shell's ventilation to promote airflow, keeping the wearer cool during physically demanding tasks.
• ABS Protective Shell: A durable internal plastic shell provides a robust barrier against lacerations and minor bumps.
• EVA Foam Padding: Integrated cushioning ensures the cap remains comfortable against the head for the duration of a shift.
• Hook and Loop Adjustment: Features a simple and secure adjustment system to accommodate various head sizes and ensure a stable fit.

Design & Performance

This bump cap is engineered from a blend of cotton and polyester, providing a textile outer that is both durable and easy to maintain. The performance of the cap is centred around its internal ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) shell, which is designed to absorb the force of minor impacts. To prevent the build-up of heat—a common issue with safety headwear—the design incorporates multiple ventilation holes and a large mesh panel. Certified to EN 812 standards, this cap is a reliable piece of equipment for work areas where industrial safety helmets are not mandatory but head protection is still required.

Customisation: Print & Embroidery

Projecting a professional image is vital for any business. This Long Peak Bump Cap is perfectly suited for customisation by our expert team in Telford. We recommend embroidery for a sophisticated, high-quality finish for your company name or logo, which provides a long-lasting and textured appearance. Alternatively, for larger or more complex graphic designs, our high-definition printing process ensures your branding is bold and easily recognisable. Having handled workwear since 1976, we ensure every logo is applied with technical precision.

Use Cases

This product is highly versatile and specifically recommended for trades where workers are frequently in confined spaces or under obstacles. It is ideal for mechanics working in engine bays, plumbers navigating crawl spaces, and electricians working in tight attic voids. It is also well-suited for tree surgeons and construction workers involved in light-duty tasks where overhead hazards are limited to stationary objects.

Practical Advice

To ensure maximum protection, always use the hook and loop strap to adjust the cap to a secure fit. A loose cap can shift during movement, which may obscure your vision or reduce the effectiveness of the internal shell. We also recommend periodic inspections of the ABS shell to ensure it remains free from cracks or structural damage.

Caring for your product

To maintain the longevity and protective performance of your bump cap, it is important to keep the textile outer clean. Regular cleaning prevents dirt from becoming embedded in the cotton-polyester fibres, which helps keep your embroidered or printed branding looking sharp.

Avoid exposing the internal ABS shell to harsh chemical solvents or cleaning agents. These substances can compromise the structural integrity of the plastic, potentially making it brittle and less effective at absorbing impacts.

When the cap is not in use, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can affect the EVA foam padding and the shape of the internal shell, which may impact the overall comfort and fit of the garment.
