Some folks don’t like bicycle helmets because the things wobble around on top of their heads like big, loose, goofy mushroom caps. That’s where the multi-impact Echo Pro comes in, as its sides can be squeezed in and locked in place for a firm, sleek fit every time.
I am highly suspicious of any helmet company that says multiple impacts are ok.
Yeah. That’s sort of canon for all headgear, from construction, to motorcycle, to bike: if it gets hit (hard), you can no longer trust or verify its structural integrity, and you replace it.
On the one hand, it sounds exactly like a “how do we get people to buy more of these?” marketing, but in this case I think it’s reasonable. If you’re spending too much on helmets, maybe you’d better reevaluate your situational awareness capability, and whether or not riding really is for you.
Of course, BMXers are more likely to fall, so that’s an exception. And with construction workers it’s the company paying for helmets and its probably a comparatively tiny expense; and if you’ve got that many people getting hit on the head, you too should maybe look at your safety policies.
It does seem like a sketchy claim.
As you should be.

Maybe those people should spend more than $10 and 10 minutes finding a helmet that actually fits.
Every MIPS helmet I’ve tried fit just fine, but if this can actually protect from multiple hits that’s pretty cool.
👍
Wait till it still fails to fit my head (I am Asian)
