With the Tago Plus, Scott is sending a somewhat more moderate trail helmet into the test. The helmet shell is pulled less deep into the neck than on many other models in the test. This means that the Scott covers a slightly smaller area in the event of a sideways fall, but the Tago has a clear weight advantage on its side - which in turn has an impact on comfort.
You also don't have to dig as deep into your pockets for the price as with many other test candidates. 139.95 euros calls Scott for the Tago, which seems quite reasonable in view of the solid equipment and high-quality workmanship.
Almost perfect customisation system
Here is an extract from the equipment list: For the rotation system, Scott has already opted for the higher-quality Mips Evolve Core, whose shape is more precisely adapted to the shape and ventilation openings of the helmet. The height of the all-round adjustment system can be easily adjusted. The straps are very well thought out and positioned close to the head. The Y-dividers under the ears can also be adjusted.

The dial at the rear is not too small, is nicely rubberised and is easier to operate than the competition. The only small drawback is that there is only one standard buckle and the visor only offers two positions. However, there is still room for a goggle underneath.
On the head, we particularly liked the Scott Tago with its pleasant fit and comfortable padding. The helmet sits securely and wobble-free without having to be clipped on particularly tightly. All of the sunglasses we tried fitted under the helmet without any problems.

Scott Tago Plus in the lab
On our test bench, the Tago delivers solid values in the midfield. The linear impact protection could be a little better. However, the Scott reduces the risk of concussion to 19 per cent - a good value in comparison.
The values of all tested helmets at a glance
Compared to the airiest helmets in the test, the Tago is rather mediocrely ventilated. In our ranking, it is just ahead of the Fizik Kassis but even here the ventilation ducts do not manage to reliably channel the airflow to the back of the head.

Evaluation and conclusion
With slightly better lab results, the Scott Tago Plus would have come out on top. Its adjustment system is top: the rubberised dial is the best in the test field, the strap guide is perfect and the padding is very comfortable. The Tago is also lightweight and fits many head shapes. Its look is less radical and also okay for classic touring bikers. In terms of rotation and impact protection, the Tago is rather mid-range - the ventilation could also be better - but it is super comfortable to wear.
