SCOTT Launches First RECCO®-Equipped Summer Product, Expanding Searchability for Trail Runners

April 15, 2026

New SCOTT Endurance SL Waterproof Jacket marks the first warm-weather integration of RECCO technology for the brand.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (April 15, 2026) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ — RECCO, a global leader in rescue technology, today announced an extended partnership with SCOTT Sports to introduce SCOTT’s first summer product equipped with a RECCO® reflector. The launch of the SCOTT Endurance SL Waterproof Jacket , available for both men and women, represents a significant milestone in expanding RECCO technology beyond winter use, making trail runners more searchable in the outdoors.

SCOTT designed the new jacket around how runners actually move, train, and race. Engineered for the harshest condition, it’s built to work seamlessly either beneath or on top of a running vest. Available in stores and online for the Spring/Summer 2026 season, the Endurance SL Waterproof Jacket is the first warm-weather apparel piece from SCOTT to integrate RECCO reflectors. This reflects SCOTT’s ongoing commitment to enhancing safety and searchability for its customers across all seasons and environments.

“Athlete feedback was crystal clear: this jacket had to work with a backpack, not against it. Ensuring it fits comfortably over a pack became a key development goal, and it aligns perfectly with where technical trail‑running rain jackets are heading,” says Nico Bardonner, Head of Softgoods Equipment at SCOTT. “As we continue to grow our partnership with RECCO in winter, it felt important to extend that added layer of safety into summer mountain running. This is our first summer apparel piece to feature a RECCO reflector, complementing the wind and rain protection — and high breathability — of the Pertex® Shield fabric, while also offering reassurance in the event of an accident or injury in the mountains.”

The RECCO rescue network continues to grow rapidly, supporting search-and-rescue operations at more than 900 mountain rescue organizations and ski resorts across 32 countries. In tandem, RECCO has expanded its SAR Helicopter Detector system, which enables rescue teams to quicker search large areas, up to a square kilometer in six minutes. Along with helping reduce search times for missing people, the helicopter-based detector can reduce the time and risk exposure for rescue workers during missions. This continued expansion strengthens coverage across both Europe, North America, Nepal and New Zealand, ensuring that more outdoor enthusiasts are searchable in a wider range of environments.

“The launch of the first summer RECCO-equipped product with SCOTT is an important step in our mission to make more people searchable year-round,” said Fredrik Steinwall, CEO at RECCO. “As our detector network continues to expand across the world, collaborations like this help extend the benefits of RECCO technology beyond winter sports and into new outdoor categories like trail running and hiking.”

This launch builds on a period of growth for RECCO, as the company continues to expand its global rescue network and, working with product manufacturing partners, advance technology that improves safety for outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.
