Fresh Produce | Scott Tago Plus Helmet

Price: $189 Available From: Scott Sports Weight: 350 g

The Scott Tago is a new skid lid from Swiss bike gurus, Scott. To fully understand the origins of the name, we found the Urban Dictionary’s description the most helpful; In Spanish, this is a name derived from Santiago. Another meaning of this name is also Protector from God. Tago is the best guardian! Phew, I feel much safer now, thank you.

The Tago Plus boasts several modern features we expect from a premium all-mountain/trail helmet nowadays to keep riders safe and comfortable on the trails. One of the most notable features is the MIPS Brain Protection System, which is designed to reduce the rotational forces that can occur during an impact. This technology is combined with an EPS liner and in-mold construction to provide excellent protection while keeping the helmet lightweight and breathable. There are also provisions for goggles and sunglass storage when you flip the visor up high.

In addition to its safety features, the Tago also has 18 ventilation channels to keep air flowing and prevent overheating, as well as a fixed visor and easy-to-use retention system for a customized fit. We’ve had the chance to test the Tago on the trail and have been impressed with its performance. The helmet feels secure and comfortable, light and breezy, and the MIPS technology adds an extra layer of peace of mind. It’s not an all-over head-hugging helmet like a POC Kortal or a Specialized Ambush; rather, it sits gently atop the head. The straps are quite soft, more like a cloth than hard nylon, which feels quite nice.

Overall, the Scott Tago is a well-designed helmet that offers advanced safety features and a rider-friendly fit and feels.
