Fit
Proper fit
Poorly fitted safety helmets are not only uncomfortable, but they also won’t offer the right level of protection. The suspension harness should act like a shock absorber and allow a level of airflow. Adjustability ensures a secure, stable fit without discomfort, irritation or abrasion which can indicate incorrect sizing.
Comfort
All day comfort
Safety helmets should be ergonomically designed to ensure weight is evenly distributed, with a centre of gravity that supports a natural head posture. Without this, the helmet places additional strain on the neck and spine, inducing fatigue. The right level of ventilation can also affect comfort and compliance.
Performance
Product performance
In addition to fulfilling the required safety standards, premium details and tightly-nested accessories that work as a system can enhance comfort, versatility and compatibility with other PPE - helping to maximise compliance. Head protection should never stop a wearer form doing their job properly.
Style
Modern style
It is possible to have high-performing, comfortable, properly fitted head protection in a style and design that appeals to the wearer. Lightweight and sporty looking PPE that looks and feels good is more likely to be worn, and customising hard hats with company logos increases a sense of belonging.
Properly fitting head protection
Poorly fitted safety helmets are not only uncomfortable, but they also won’t offer the right level of protection. The suspension harness should act like a shock absorber and allow a level of airflow. Adjustability ensures a secure, stable fit without discomfort, irritation or abrasion which can indicate incorrect sizing.
Customised fitting
A safety helmet should be neither too tight nor too loose on your head. uvex safety helmets are designed for simple size adjustment thanks to the one-hand wheel ratchet, allowing wearers to achieve a comfortable fit on the go without having to remove their gloves or helmet.
Flexibility with armadillo design
With the armadillo design, the uvex u-cap sport has extra flexibility and adapts ergonomically to different head shapes and sizes. uvex bump caps have an integrated hard shell for reliable impact protection in accordance with EN 812 optimal protection for the back of the head.
Find the right safety helmet size
It's important to find the right safety helmet size by measuring your head circumference. The individual sizes of our uvex safety helmets offer several centimetres of wiggle room, so you can adjust the helmet exactly to your head circumference using an adjuster.
Innovative features for comfortable protection
Safety helmets should be ergonomically designed to ensure weight is evenly distributed, with a centre of gravity that supports a natural head posture. Without this, the helmet places additional strain on the neck and spine, inducing fatigue. The right level of ventilation can also affect comfort and compliance.
Ergonomic design
When it comes to comfort, we think of everything. uvex pheos safety helmets feature a six-point suspension harness made from soft polyester that is ultrasonically welded to eliminate uncomfortable seams and weakness. A padded sweatband made of coated synthetic leather covers the entire 360º helmet rim for enhanced comfort, and can also be easily replaced to maintain hygiene.
Perfect resting position
The joint system is designed to improve the helmet's ergonomics and evenly distributes the weight of all attachments across the body's centre of gravity. The visor can be locked above the helmet shell when not required, while the hearing protection can be folded back. Everything fits closely to the helmet and is perfectly balanced, ensuring maximum comfort and freedom of movement with no unnecessary weight to strain the muscles on the neck.
Innovative climate management
The climate inside a safety helmet can have a big impact on wearer comfort and compliance. The adjustable uvex climazone ventilation system has been designed to move the way you do with front and back vents that allows air in to cool the head and warm air to escape at the rear. The vents can easily be opened to increase airflow through the helmet and closed to help combat the elements.
High-performing products
In addition to fulfilling the required safety standards, premium details and tightly-nested accessories that work as a system can enhance comfort, versatility and compatibility with other PPE - helping to maximise compliance.
Quality made in uvex
Industrial safety helmets from uvex comply with standard DIN EN 397, which states that they must be designed to protect the wearer from falling objects. During development, we continuously check our products in our in-house test laboratories. This means that our products fulfil the standards in all respects – and even exceed specifications.
Additional protection zone
An additional protection zone provides more back-of-head coverage against hazards and falling or deflected debris. This helps to protect more of your command centre including the lower part of your brain – the cerebellum – where voluntary action movements like posture, balance, coordination, and speech are coordinated.
Wide range of attachments
The uvex pheos offers a diverse range of possible combinations with a functional accessory system. uvex pheos safety helmets can be combined with an anti-fog and scratch-resistant high-quality polycarbonate visor, ear muffs or a head torch when needed. The injection-moulded transparent peak prevents particles penetrating the inside of the visor.
Style meets comfort and safety meets design
Lightweight and sporty looking PPE that looks and feels good is more likely to be worn. It is possible to have high-performing, comfortable, properly fitted PPE in a style and design that appeals to the wearer.
uvex head protection - protecting people and the environment
As a family-owned German business, uvex’s sustainable journey started over 15 years ago. Since then, we have committed to improving our carbon footprint by implementing over 300 resource-saving technologies, processes and measures to improve our green credentials, resulting in a reduction in CO2 output by 70%, since 2012. By manufacturing over 80% of our head-to-toe PPE products in our own European factories, we are able to retain total control of design, quality, and sustainable performance.
The lightweight uvex pheos planet safety helmet is part of the uvex “protecting planet” range of sustainable products. The shell is made of up to 30% bioplastic (the raw material being sugar cane) and the material for the headband is made from 50% granulated helmet shells which helps reduce process-related waste. The packaging is made of regranulated material and has been taken from the recycling economy while the user instructions are printed on 100% recycled paper.
WEARABILITY across all product groups
WEARABILITY in safety eyewear
Simply wearing any old pair of safety eyewear isn’t enough to protect your eyes. We design and manufacture a range of styles, sizes, lens tints, lens coatings and colours to ensure wearers derive true WEARABILITY from uvex safety eyewear.
WEARABILITY in safety gloves
An ill-fitting glove can be as much a hazard as not wearing any at all. We design and select materials that provide protective properties, grip, dexterity, comfort and fit to ensure wearers derive true WEARABILITY from uvex safety gloves.
WEARABILITY in prescription safety eyewear
Facial shapes all differ requiring a range from which employees can select. We have developed frames with adjustable features and striking designs, offering the best possible protection in the workplace.
WEARABILITY in safety footwear
The best safety footwear should be supple, allowing freedom of movement without discomfort when walking or kneeling and comfortable enough to wear all day to ensure wearers derive true WEARABILITY from uvex safety footwear.
