New bump caps from Milwaukee

Milwaukee is expanding its personal protective equipment lineup and introducing two new protective bump cap products. The company says they're designed to offer enhanced head protection while maintaining a stylish, baseball cap-like appearance. 

Bump caps are designed for environments where hard hats or helmets are not required, but users still need head protection from impacts that could result in bumps, abrasions and punctures. It's ideal for professionals in MEP, HVAC, remodeling, automotive, facility maintenance and repair, per Milwaukee.

“Through field research alongside users, we identified feedback surrounding unmet safety needs for service professionals,” explains Austin Dorman, senior product manager at Milwaukee Tool. “While professionals want to remain safety focused, many do not work in an environment where typical hardhats are required. Our Bump caps are optimized for working in confined spaces where professionals run the risk of bumping their head on static objects such as pipes, tabletops, nails, machinery and other fixed structures.”
