headfirst helmets
The headfirst® Echo Pro redefines the urban bike helmet through its patented (pending) SafeFit system, which automatically adapts to any head shape for a secure, sleeker and pressure-free fit. It solves the key safety flaws of traditional helmets — poor fit, single-use materials and standard safety blind spots — by combining multi-impact EPP foam, a recycled ABS shell and an integrated motion-sensing brake light. Echo Pro merges advanced protection with minimalist Dutch design, solving the “poor-fit = poor-safety” problem and resulting in a helmet that protects better, lasts longer and is designed for everyday use.
iF Gold Statement
We love the headfirst® Echo Pro for its intelligently engineered fit system, which combines sizing and micro-adjustment in one intuitive mechanism, finally resolving a long-standing pain point in this category. The embedded rear brake light enhances safety without disturbing the silhouette. Thoughtful, durable, and future-ready design!
