This extremely innovative separation of the lens and helmet means that it’s easy to switch out the lens for a regular pair of goggles if you fancy a change. It also means that you can easily switch out for a pair of sunglasses during warmer conditions without having to worry about having a big lens strapped to the top of your helmet.

Scott Blend Plus Features

The helmet, aside from the additional magnets and cord for the visor, looks and fits just like a regular helmet. It features an in-mould design with MIPS for some best in class protection and active venting for comfort on the mountain no matter the time of year.

Looking at the visor, it makes use of Scott’s Amplifier lens technology. Similar to many other bits of contrast-boosting lens technology, this Amplifier essentially filters out the light you don’t need to see and, in doing so, boosts the light you want to see (Blue light, Orange light and Red light). These light ranges are said to be the most important in enhancing contrast and clarity in poor light conditions.

Let’s be honest: It’s really hard to get an integrated helmet / visor system to not look too kooky. However, in the case of the Blend Plus, Scott has absolutely nailed the design. It offers some really impressive airflow and a seamless connection between the helmet and visor. With some handy magnets to help stash the visor when you’re not using it, Scott have gone and created a seamless package for riders in the market for an integrated system.
