Description
The Mystic Impact Cap is a lightweight watersports impact cap designed for riders who want head protection without the bulk and feel of a full hard-shell helmet. It has a slim profile, a small brim, and an adjustable fit system that helps it stay secure during wipeouts, making it a practical option for kitesurfing, wingfoiling, wakeboarding, and other high-movement sessions on the water.
If you want something lower-profile than a traditional helmet, but still purpose-built for watersports use, the Impact Cap fills that gap well. It is CE approved, lightweight, and built with a visco-elastic TPU construction, with perforated ear pieces that add protection from water and wind while still letting you hear clearly.
Who It’s For
- Discipline: Kitesurfing, wingfoiling, wakeboarding, foiling, and general watersports use
- Level: Beginner to advanced
- Best for: Riders who want lightweight, low-bulk head protection with a more cap-like feel than a full helmet
Key Features
- CE approved construction – Built for watersports protection with recognised safety compliance.
- Lightweight design – Keeps the cap comfortable for longer sessions without feeling overly heavy.
- Slim fit – Sits closer to the head than a bulkier helmet, which many riders prefer for freeride use.
- Adjustable chin strap – Helps keep the cap secure when you crash or take repeated falls.
- Velcro fit adjustment – Makes it easier to fine-tune the fit for comfort and stability.
- Perforated ear pieces – Gives extra protection from slap, spray, and wind while still allowing better hearing on the water.
- Brim – Adds a bit of glare and spray protection for clearer vision in bright or choppy conditions.
- Visco-elastic TPU material – Designed to absorb impact while keeping the cap flexible and low profile.
Real-World Feel
On the water, the Mystic Impact Cap feels much less bulky than a traditional ABS-shell helmet. It is the kind of protection some riders choose when they want something lighter, less restrictive, and more low-profile for everyday sessions. Compared with a full watersports helmet, it feels more minimal and less enclosed, especially around the head and ears, but that also means it is aimed at riders specifically looking for this cap-style format rather than maximum hard-shell coverage.
Setup / Fit
The fit is adjusted using the rear Velcro adjustment and chin strap, so you can dial it in securely before launching. This is important because an impact cap only works properly when it fits snugly and stays in place during falls. Measure around the widest part of your head and choose the closest size. If you are between sizes, go for the fit that feels secure rather than loose.

Why We Stock It
We stock the Mystic Impact Cap because not every rider wants a full hardshell helmet for every session. Some want something lighter, lower profile, and easier to wear for freeride use, coaching, or less aggressive sessions, while still using a product that is made specifically for watersports. The Impact Cap gives that option from a trusted brand, without pretending to be something it is not.
