Scott

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which sustainable materials does SCOTT use in helmets, eyewear, footwear, and apparel?

  SCOTT uses recycled PC outer shells and recycled EPS liners in helmets (some helmet constructions reach as much as ~42% recycled content by weight), ECONYL® regenerated nylon for eyewear frames made from fishing nets and waste, and bio‑based materials such as castor‑bean plastics and footwear plates that can be about 56% biobased. Many re‑source garments use ≥50% recycled fibers or fully renewable inputs and carry third‑party material verification.
• How does SCOTT keep performance high when using recycled and bio‑based materials?

  Scott integrates recycled and bio‑based inputs into the same tested constructions and manufacturing processes used for their standard performance lines, so materials like recycled PC shells, ECONYL® frames, or biobased plates are engineered to meet strength, weight, and durability targets. Products undergo the same activity‑specific design (venting, fit, reinforcement) and lab/field testing to ensure the sustainability choices don’t compromise function.
• What range of activities does SCOTT cover and which product categories should I consider for each sport?

  SCOTT spans skiing, snowboarding, road and mountain cycling, trail running, and motocross with category‑specific gear: full‑face and MTB helmets for mountain biking and motocross, aerodynamic jerseys and road helmets for cycling, trail shoes with biobased plates for running, and high‑performance eyewear for snow and motorsport. Choose the category matched to your activity and then look at features like protective coverage, ventilation, and sport‑specific fit to dial in the right model.
