Ergodyne 23482 Bump Cap Insert Extra Venting Charcoal 2 Pack

Product Description

The ERGODYNE 23482 is a universal bump cap insert designed to fit inside any standard baseball cap, hat, or compatible headwear to provide protection against bumps, scrapes, bruises, and other minor head injuries. The insert is constructed from lightweight, durable polyethylene with a ribbed top shell that delivers up to 35 percent more crown impact protection compared to the previous generation design. All-over venting channels maximize airflow throughout the shell, and an extra-large closed-cell foam interior pad absorbs impact without retaining odors. Each pack contains 2 inserts in charcoal. The insert weighs approximately 75 grams (2.6 ounces) per unit, making it practical for all-day wear in light-duty work environments.

This insert is suited for trade and industrial environments where workers encounter low-clearance spaces, overhead obstructions, and confined work areas. Typical applications include electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and general maintenance work where a full hard hat is not required but some head protection is desirable. The patented trim-to-fit design allows the insert to be cut down to match different cap profiles and head shapes, making it adaptable across a crew with varied headwear preferences. The two-way flex construction keeps the insert from feeling stiff or bulky inside the host cap.

Compatibility

Designed as a universal insert compatible with standard baseball caps, hats, and other headwear. The trim-to-fit design accommodates a variety of cap constructions and head shapes.

Installation Notes

No tools are required to install this insert. Place the insert inside the crown of the host cap, trim the edges as needed using the trim-to-fit guides to achieve a secure fit, and verify the insert sits flush without shifting during movement. Inspect the insert periodically for cracks, deformation, or compression set in the foam pad, and replace if structural integrity is compromised.
