Released a few years ago, this second-generation model packs every safety feature Scott currently offers: The “D” in the name represents their shock-absorbing foam placed at the front and back of the lid for direct hits (known as D30 Technology), and a familiar MIPS liner helps with angled impacts.They kept things pretty simple with a clean and minimalist exterior, low-profile in-mold construction, and lightly cushioned ear pads. The quality and attention to detail are clear, with a soft but supportive liner, excellent coverage all around your head, and an easy-to-adjust Boa dial for fit. Designs do vary some—many budget helmets use a simple plastic piece that flips open, while higher-end helmets will have a more secure strap or cord design.

But the details are really nicely sorted, including a highly adjustable fit system that can be shifted up and down to avoid a gaper gap with your goggles and the option to remove the aforementioned ear pads on warm days (or when touring). In the who’s who of ski gear companies, you have probably seen some familiar names over the years: Smith, Giro, Oakley, and so on. GoPros have become the tool of choice for filming while in motion, and the good news is that most come with adhesive mounts that can be affixed to pretty much any helmet on the market.

Finally, the Scout is Outdoor Tech audio system compatible so you can listen to all your favorite jams while you dial in some new tricks.
