MET Echo MIPS Helmet

The MIPS-C2 system is a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows it to slide slightly relative to your head during an angled impact. This movement helps redirect harmful rotational forces away from your brain, offering an extra layer of protection beyond standard impact absorption.

The Echo is designed as an entry-level mountain bike helmet. While it features extended rear coverage for better protection during off-road riding, it is best suited for beginner to intermediate trail adventures rather than high-speed enduro or downhill racing.

The polycarbonate shell is molded over the entire EPS liner, including the bottom edges. This prevents the exposed foam from getting dented or chipped when you set the helmet down, significantly extending the lifespan of the helmet compared to models with exposed foam edges.

No, the extended coverage is specifically shaped to protect the back of your head and the base of your skull without restricting your range of motion. You should still be able to look up and down comfortably while riding.

Yes, the open-face design of the Echo is compatible with most standard cycling sunglasses. While it lacks specific goggle-retention clips, the shape of the shell generally accommodates most mountain bike goggles.
