The MET Echo Helmet is a great introduction to high-quality trail ready MTB protection and all without having to raid your piggy bank. It's the perfect choice for those of you just starting out on your mountain biking adventures.

The Echo Helmet may be great value but there's still a stack of features to keep you protected as you push tyre grip to the limits (which may involve a few ground to body interfaces along the way). The In-Mould external construction combines with a shock-absorbing polystyrene inner shell and is the same as seen on MET's higher priced models, and with increased coverage around the back of the head, you'll be fully covered should you take a tumble.

To lock the helmet securely in place you'll find the Safe-T Mid Fit System is remarkably easy to use and gives 360 degrees of hold and adjustment. Even over the roughest of terrain, this helmet isn't going to move. For all-day comfort MET use Coolmax anti-allergenic interior padding that ensures you don't get hot and sweaty and it's all washable too, for long-term freshness.

For those of you who are looking to dip a toe in the Enduro scene then the Echo is up to scratch too. Anti-fog inlets help to keep your goggles or sunglasses clear for full visibility at all times, making picking lines a cinch and the outer shell is shaped with a lip to keep your goggle strap in place
