WIP Helmet Wipper 2.0

Robust Water Sports Helmet – Protection for Everyday Use

The WIP Wipper 2.0 helmet is a versatile water sports helmet designed for riders who need reliable protection during everyday foiling, kitesurfing, sailing, or wing foiling. It is a robust helmet with a hard ABS shell and multi-impact EPP core, combining high impact resistance with all-day wearing comfort.

The ABS outer shell is exceptionally durable – it withstands impacts, scratches, and demanding conditions on the water. The EPP core recovers its shape after impact, providing long-lasting protection even through repeated crashes. The 360° micrometric fit system with an adjustment wheel at the back of the helmet allows precise fine-tuning for a stable and secure fit.

What sets the WIP Wipper 2.0 helmet apart from other models is its built-in short peak, which provides protection against rain and water spray – particularly useful during autumn and spring sessions on the water. It is also available in bright colors for better visibility and safety.

Wing foiling, kitesurfing, sailing, windfoiling, or wakeboarding – the WIP Wipper 2.0 helmet is a versatile helmet for riders who want reliable protection without compromise, regardless of discipline or conditions.
