FAQs
What is the primary purpose of a bump cap?
A bump cap is designed to protect the wearer's head from minor bumps, scrapes, and bruises against stationary objects. It is not a substitute for a hard hat and does not protect against falling objects or significant impacts.
How do I adjust the size of the bump cap?
The bump cap features a hook and loop adjustable strap at the back. Simply loosen or tighten this strap to achieve a secure and comfortable fit for your head size.
Can I wear this bump cap in the rain?
The fabric components of the bump cap may absorb moisture. While it offers protection from light rain, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not ideal and may require thorough drying.
Is the long peak removable?
The long peak is an integrated feature of the bump cap's design and is not intended to be removed.
What materials is the Portwest PW79 made from?
The cap is made from a blend of 55% Cotton and 45% Polyester, with an internal ABS shell for protection.
How should I clean the bump cap?
It is recommended to hand wash the bump cap with mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing/drying.
Does this bump cap meet safety standards?
Yes, the Portwest PW79 Long Peak Bump Cap is CE certified, indicating it meets relevant European safety standards for protection against shock and light impacts.
Troubleshooting
Bump cap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the hook and loop strap at the back of the cap to find a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is clean to ensure proper adhesion.
Fabric appears dirty or stained.
Gently hand wash the cap with mild soap and cold water. Allow it to air dry completely before wearing.
Ventilation seems inadequate.
Ensure the ventilation holes and mesh panel are not obstructed by hair or other materials. Clean any dust or debris that may have accumulated in the vents.
Peak is obstructing vision.
While designed for glare reduction, ensure the cap is fitted correctly. The peak should provide shade without compromising your primary field of vision.
