November 25, 2024
The brand-new SCOTT Flow Pro Mips helmet is the brand’s first product to integrate RECCO technology
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (Nov. 25, 2024) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ — As the global RECCO rescue network grows, its brand partner roster increases in quantity. RECCO is excited to announce that SCOTT will be joining the family of over 150 partner brands integrating RECCO reflectors into their gear with the new SCOTT Flow Pro Mips helmet.
SCOTT’s new dedicated freeride helmet was thoughtfully designed with temperature-regulating material and adjustable ventilation to ensure skiers and riders stay comfortable. Mips® Integrated Fit System paired with an integrated RECCO reflector keeps wearers safer and searchable.
“Our priority at SCOTT is to develop the safest, most functional, and high-performing products for each application,” said Jose Pereira, Senior Helmet Product Manager at SCOTT. “The RECCO system allowed us to seamlessly add another layer of security to our new SCOTT Flow Pro Mips ski helmet. Full integration, no weight, volume or usability penalties.”
RECCO rescue reflectors are found across a range of outdoor products, across all seasons. The RECCO system is used in 900+ ski resorts and mountain rescue organizations in 32 countries. Search and Rescue professionals are able to utilize RECCO technology to search for people year-round, with both the RECCO Handheld Detector and the RECCO SAR Helicopter Detector. The handheld detector can search efficiently in snowy conditions, while the helicopter-carried detector can quickly search large areas, covering a square kilometer in six minutes. The helicopter detector speeds up search times and reduces risk for rescue workers.
“SCOTT is a renowned name in the outdoor industry, and we’re proud to add them to our roster of brand partners,” said Fredrik Steinwall, CEO at RECCO. “The SCOTT Flow Pro Mips helmet is a perfect example of how RECCO technology can be seamlessly integrated into a well-designed product and keep wearers safer.”
The SCOTT Flow Pro Mips helmet has been available in stores since mid-October and is currently available online. For more information on the global RECCO rescue network, please visit recco.com.
