Bump Helmet

Whites Drywear Bump Helmet – protective helmet for diving with a full-face mask

The Whites Drywear Bump Helmet is a specialized protective helmet designed for professional divers using a full-face mask (FFM). It provides head protection against impacts and abrasions when diving in environments with reduced visibility, in confined spaces, or in areas with overhead obstacles.

The helmet is designed to be worn comfortably over a full-face mask and diving hood. Its design does not restrict access to the communication system, side mounting rails, or the ambient air breathing valve. This ensures that the functionality of the diving equipment remains intact.

Comfortable and Adjustable Fit

The removable inner padding allows the helmet size to be adjusted to fit different head shapes and hood thicknesses. The adjustable ratchet system on the head harness ensures a stable fit. The chin strap is equipped with a one-handed quick-release mechanism, allowing the helmet to be quickly removed in an emergency.

Accessory Mounting Options

Side mounting rails allow for the installation of various types of diving lights. The front features a mounting interface for NVG (night vision goggles) accessories. The sides and back are equipped with Velcro straps for attaching identification or team patches.
