ME: IN MY ERB BUMPCAP LINED BALL CAP> ALL SAIL BOATS ARE 'BOOMERS' WHICH IS TO SAY...THEY HAVE A BOOM IE 'OVERHEAD' 4" ALUMINUM PIPING WHICH ON 'COMING ABOUT' OR A MISTIMED 'JIBE' IN A 15+ WIND HAS KILLED TEN SAILORS IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR FROM HEAD HITS.... THERE IS A SIMPLE $5.00 (ACTUALLY $6.81 AT HOME DEPOT) SOLUTION FOR A GLANCING BLOW WHICH WE ALL WEAR AS RELIGIOUSLY AS OUR LIFE JACKETS; THE ERB 'BALLCAP BUMPCAP. ON A HOT DAY WITH THE FOAM RUBBER LINER, IT'S A BIT OF A HEATSINK, BUT TWO WEEKS AGO I TOOK A LIGHT HIT TO THE HEAD FROM THE BOOM WHICH I GENERALLY SET A 'FIST' HIGHER THAN MY OWN HEIGHT AS THE TALLEST ON THE VESSEL. I PREFER PERSPERATION OVER A SERIOUS MIGRAINE ANY DAY..... SHOULD WORK VERY WELL ON A REAL SUNLESS BOOMER 1000 FEET DOWN UNDER A NAVY BLUE BALL CAP.....https://www.homedepot.com/p/ERB-Bump-Cap-Insert-with-Foam-Pad-Fits-Inside-Low-Profile-Baseball-Cap-19402/204374244
