Happy Helmets | Scott x Camp Cranium
Welcome to Brain Injury Awareness Month! For this month’s Happy Helmets we were lucky enough to partner with Scott along with our friends over at Camp Cranium!
Scott:
Scott has been an industry leader across winter sports, motocross and biking since 1958 with everything from hard goods to optics! Scott actually started as a ski pole company in 1958, evolving with each sport into what it is now. Click HERE to read more about the legend’s history.
Scott is an extremely innovative company that offers an array of technology in their helmets to ensure the ultimate protection. On top of the helmets being lightweight, the technology options (within wintersport helmets) offered are:
MIPS: 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.
360 Pure Sound: On the mountain, safety is paramount, and being able to hear what is happening around you can save your life. This is why we have invested in R&D to develop 360° Pure Sound technology, a specifically-shaped inner piece in our ear pads, surrounded by sound transparent fabric. It not only let you hear better, but also localize sound more accurately.
Dual Active Venting System: Scott’s most advanced venting system allows the user to carefully regulate the airflow through the helmet for optimal ventilation in any weather condition. This is achieved through two easy-to-use sliders that allow the ventilation to be fine-tuned at the front and top of the helmet.
WRAS2: The WRAS Fit System offers full adjustability to ensure a customized and comfortable fit for your head shape. Adjust the height of the rear ergonomic cradle and dial in the perfect pressure using the micro adjustment dial. WRAS is forseen of a big comolded wheel that makes it easy to grab and adjust with gloves. WRAS ensures your helmet fits securely and comfortably.
Passive Venting System: Built-in system regulating the airflow through the helmet.
JRAS: JRAS Fit System can be adjusted vertically allowing you to keep your help secure whilst riding.
Halo Fit System: Our ultra-light HALO Fit System provides easy adjustability and unparallelled comfort. Find the perfect height of the rear ergonomic cradle while the helmet is on your head and dial in optimal pressure using the micro-adjustment dial. The result is a helmet which adapts to your head shape and leaves you feeling secure and focusing on the line ahead.
D30 Protection: D3O® material flows with you as you move but locks together on impact to absorb energy.

Camp Cranium:
We’re excited to partner with Camp Cranium for a second month in a row! They are an incredible non-profit whose mission is: “Empowering children with brain injuries, providing them with a safe, supportive, fun environment in which to meet other children with brain injuries.”
They provide programs throughout the year to empower children (ages 6-18) with brain injury. The goal is to support these children to enjoy life to their fullest potential. They hold a week long summer camp every year as well as a ski trip! Check out the full list of their programs: https://campcranium.org/programs/
You can get involved by donating your time as a counselor, sponsor a child’s day at camp or other various options!
