If you are seeking the best protection that money can buy then look no further. Scott helmets with integrated MIPS® brain protection system offer a whole new dimension in safety. No matter where or how you ride, choose a SCOTT helmet and Elevate Your Safety !

Testing and results : taking a fall with a SCOTT MIPS® equipped helmet is very different

Helmets are designed and optimized for straight impacts. They do not consider angled impacts. In an angled impact rotational violence is transferred to the head and the brain.	MIPS is a low friction layer inside the helmet which allows the head to rotate relative to the helmet in an angled impact. This substantially reduces rotational violence and the potential for damage to the brain.

How People Fall ?

Conventional helmets are tested by dropping them vertically onto a solid surface. They are designed to protect you from straight / radial impacts. For over 15 years, MIPS has researched how people crash in the real world. Collaborating with some of the world's leading neurosurgeons and experts, MIPS® has established that when you fall, your head most often hits the ground at an angle, creating a rotational shock to the brain¹. This rotational shock can cause strain in your brain. A helmet with MIPS® absorbs much of that rotational energy, offering you better protection. And if, against all the odds, you do fall vertically onto your head, a SCOTT helmet with MIPS® will protect you just as well as an ordinary helmet.

MIPS imitated the brain's own protection system

The Brain is suspended in a low friction cerebrospinal fluid which allows your brain to slide within your skull to protect the brain under impact. MIPS®  Brain Protection System is a unique technology intended to protect your brain against angled impacts by imitating the brains natural low friction, barrier, thereby reducing the shock transmitted to your brain. Under angled impact the helmet slides on the MIPS® low friction layer minimizing the rotational violence transfered to the brain.

Auf dem Berg ist Sicherheit ausschlaggebend und hören zu können, was im Umfeld vor sich geht, kann dein Leben retten. Aus diesen beiden Gründen haben wir in die Forschung und Entwicklung investiert, um die 360° Pure Sound Technologie zu entwickeln, und wir haben einen Schritt nach vorne gemacht, um die Hörfähigkeit beim tragen eines Helms von SCOTT zu maximieren. Elevate your safety!

HOW DOES D3O® MATERIAL WORK?

D3O® is a patented material with intelligent molecules. It flows with you as you move but locks together on impact to absorb energy and protect you. This unique innovative component provides an optimal freedom of movement and surpasses CE standards.

INCREASED COMFORT AND MOBILITY.

D3O® back protection is low profile, lightweight, flexible and soft. D3O® protectors allow for complete freedom of movement and mold to your body so you will not even feel like you are wearing a back protector.

Das Micro Rotary Adjustment System (MRAS) zeichnet sich durch einzigartige Einstellungsmöglichkeiten, Komfort und Stabilität aus. Ein automatisches Verschlusssystem sorgt dafür, dass der Helm fest sitzt und nicht verrutscht. Die flexible Struktur des MRAS Fit Systems bietet zusätzlichen Tragekomfort.

“The sum of all features and technologies included in this helmet is award-worthy. Besides maximum safety and excellent ventilation, the unrestricted hearing is a real benefit.“ (Wolfgang Greiner, RoadTrip & SkiPresse, Publisher)

This helmet outperforms its competitors in safety and ventilation. D30 inserts offer low, mid and high energy impact absorption, MIPS technology addresses rotational forces, and 360 Pure Sound guarantees better noise perception. The dual active venting system maximizes ventilation/insulation depending on the user's needs.
