The Stego uses the latest in helmet tech: MIPS. Traditionally, helmets are certified by passing an impact test directly on their top. However in the real world, helmets usually strike the ground at an angle and the skull and brain rotate inside them. The MIPS technology mimics the body's own protection system, a layer of fluid between the brain and skull.

It works by having an extra layer between your head and the molded foam that can break away and slide on impact. The Stego is one of the three helmets in Scott's lineup that use the technology and it is available in black or green in three sizes.


 

The Mythic is essentially the same helmet, without the MIPS system. Notable are the extended coverage at the base of the skull, the large flat spot on top for mounting lights or cameras (no specific mount is included) and the shape that accommodates goggles as well as glasses. The Mythic is available in black, white, blue, and orange in three sizes.
