If you are in the market for a new bucket I would take a hard look at Scott’s new Symbol 2 Plus D ($219.95). The low profile venting system looks incredible and while I prefer not to know from experience how well the MIPS® works….it’s nice to know your brain is protected from low, mid and high velocity impacts:
“The SCOTT Symbol 2 Plus D delivers the next level in skiing safety. With D3O® inserts and MIPS® integration this helmet has established a new standard for low, mid and high velocity impacts. With a totally new shape, the second generation boasts a much lower profile than its predecessor and our 360° Pure Sound ear pads allow for better noise detection, meaning you will be looking your best and staying safe.”
FEATURES:
-Scott Progressive Energy Absorption with D3O®
-MIPS® Brain Protection System
-360° Pure Sound Technology
-Dual Active Venting System
-Passive Goggle Venting System
