Forward Wip Prowip 2.0 Helmet – Ultra-Light, Eco-Friendly Watersports Protection

The Forward Wip Prowip 2.0 Helmet is built for riders who demand high-performance protection in a lightweight, eco-conscious design. Whether you’re wingfoiling, kitesurfing, windsurfing, or sailing, the Prowip 2.0 offers exceptional comfort, shock absorption, and on-water performance—all at just 290 grams.

Constructed using advanced In-Mold Technology, the helmet fuses the outer shell and inner liner into a single ultra-light yet highly impact-resistant structure. The interior features thermoformed quick-dry foam padding, delivering all-session comfort while shedding water fast.

The helmet’s ventilation channels and shaping are engineered for maximum airflow and improved wind perception, helping riders stay aware and in control in all conditions. A micrometric fit system lets you dial in the perfect 360° fit, while the magnetic chin buckle offers fast, one-handed closure—even with gloves or cold hands.

The Prowip 2.0 also stands out as one of the most environmentally conscious water helmets available, using sustainable materials such as 20% cork inner liner, recycled polyester, bio-sourced cotton, soy-based ink packaging, and a biodegradable protective bag.
