The PRP Seats A38-201 Echo FIA Composite Race Seat is a purpose-built off-road racing bucket seat that blends driver comfort with serious safety performance. Constructed around a rigid fiber-reinforced composite (FRP) shell, the Echo delivers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio — tough enough to take the punishment of competitive racing while remaining light enough to benefit overall vehicle dynamics.
The Echo is designed specifically with off-road use in mind, featuring thick dual-density foam throughout and built-in lumbar support for lasting comfort during long-distance events. Its slightly more compact profile makes it shorter than PRP's Alpha Composite seats, allowing it to fit into tighter interiors such as Trophy Lite trucks and similar builds.
Safety is a cornerstone of the Echo's design. Wrap-around head containment wings prevent the driver's helmet from jarring side to side on impact, while higher lateral containment bolsters keep legs securely locked in during aggressive driving. The dual-slot harness openings are sized large enough to route a racing harness, fresh air hose, and HANS device simultaneously — a critical feature for serious competition use. Angled lap belt slots ensure belts are routed at the correct geometry for proper restraint performance.
The upholstery features vinyl arms, back, and band with a sports mesh center panel for improved airflow and breathability. The removable seat cushion makes cleaning out mud, water, and debris easy after a hard day on the trails or course. This standard version is available in 4 pre-designed color combinations. Fits drivers with up to a 40-inch waist comfortably.
