Bump Caps

Shop lightweight bump caps designed to help protect against minor bumps and scrapes when working around stationary objects. Explore Pro Choice Safety designs with adjustable fits, ventilated liners and a choice of peak lengths, including Air Bump Lite and wide brim options. Bump caps are suitable only where your workplace assessment permits them; choose hard hats where falling-object protection or site rules require one.

Choosing Bump Caps for Everyday Workplace Tasks

A bump cap combines a casual cap-style appearance with a protective insert to help reduce minor head injuries from contact with stationary objects. It can be useful for selected maintenance, automotive, warehousing and assembly tasks where low beams, shelving or equipment create a risk of bumps and scrapes. Suitability depends on the actual task and workplace risk assessment.

Bump caps do not provide the same protection as industrial safety helmets. Where falling objects or other hazards require a safety helmet, explore our hard hats collection.

Pro Choice Safety Bump Caps

Our range includes Pro Choice Safety standard peak, short peak and micro peak bump caps, alongside Air Bump Lite and wide brim designs. Selected models feature padded inserts, adjustable straps, mesh panels and ventilation openings to support a comfortable fit.

Air Bump Lite styles use a flexible ventilated liner, while short peak designs offer improved overhead visibility. Wide brim options provide additional shade for outdoor tasks. Compare each model’s specifications, sizing range and certification before choosing.

Fit, Features and Pricing

Prices currently range from approximately $38 to $52, with current pricing shown on individual product pages. Choose a cap that adjusts securely to your head and suits the space you work in. A shorter peak may be useful when looking upwards or working near equipment, while a wide brim offers more shade.

Check that your chosen cap works comfortably with other required PPE, including safety glasses and ear plugs. Each item must maintain its correct fit and function when worn together.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bump Caps

What is a bump cap used for?

A bump cap helps protect against minor bumps and scrapes caused by the head contacting stationary objects, such as shelving, beams or equipment. It may suit selected maintenance, automotive, warehousing and assembly tasks where the workplace assessment allows it. For hazards requiring industrial head protection, explore our hard hats.

Can a bump cap replace a hard hat?

No. Bump caps must not replace hard hats where falling-object protection or site rules require a safety helmet. A bump cap’s protective insert is designed for a different type of hazard. Check your workplace requirements and the product’s certification before choosing between bump caps and hard hats.

What bump cap styles are available?

Our range includes Pro Choice Safety standard peak, short peak and micro peak caps, plus Air Bump Lite and wide brim options. Features vary by model and may include adjustable straps, padded inserts and ventilation. Short peak designs can improve overhead visibility, while wide brim styles provide additional shade. Check individual product pages for colours and sizing.

Are bump caps adjustable and suitable for hot conditions?

Selected models have adjustable straps or toggle fittings, with mesh panels and ventilated liners to encourage airflow. Fit ranges differ between products, so check the measurements rather than assuming every cap fits every head size. When worn with safety glasses or other PPE, each item should remain secure and comfortable.

Can bump caps be embroidered with a company logo?

Selected models, including certain Air Bump designs, are suitable for branding on the outer cap. The method and placement must follow the manufacturer’s instructions and preserve the protective insert. Visit our custom branding and embroidery page to discuss your logo and preferred model before ordering.

Can bump caps be purchased in store or ordered for a business?

Yes. You can shop online or contact our Chatswood store to arrange a purchase and check availability. For team orders, we can help you check styles, quantities and branding options. Call (02) 9417 1292 or contact us, and explore our workwear collection for coordinating garments.
