Uvex: Riding Helmets & Sport Glasses | Emmers Equestrian
Combining safety with everyday comfort, Uvex is generally recognized for its riding helmets alongside a range of sport glasses designed for time in the saddle. The helmet range typically spans adult and children's models, including the Kiddox for younger riders, generally designed with certified safety and a modern, competition-ready look in mind.
Alongside helmets, Uvex offers a range of sport glasses and sunglasses, including the Sportstyle and LGL series, often chosen by riders looking for practical eye protection during training or competition.
A few tips for choosing:
- Get properly measured for a helmet; a secure, level fit generally matters more than picking a size by guesswork.
- Check current safety standards; it's worth confirming a helmet meets the certification required for your discipline or venue.
- Think about lens tint for glasses; different tints can suit different light conditions when riding outdoors.
- Consider a helmet for growing riders; children's models like the Kiddox are worth rechecking for size as they grow.
- Ask our team for a fitting; hands-on advice can help you find the right helmet size and style.
