Uvex: Protection

Uvex is a leading German brand in personal protective equipment. Safety glasses, goggles, ear defenders, ear bands, ear plugs, forestry helmets and specific protection: Uvex supports professionals in construction, industry, logistics, landscaping and maintenance with reliable, comfortable and certified PPE.

On Oxwork, the Uvex range meets several professional needs: protecting eyes from projections, filtering UV, reducing noise, securing forestry work or equipping teams exposed to bright, dusty or noisy environments.

Uvex hearing protection: ear defenders, ear band and ear plugs

For noisy environments, the foldable high-visibility ear defenders Uvex K2 SNR 31 dB deliver effective protection against strong noise. Their foldable format makes storage easier and the high-visibility design suits construction sites, workshops, industrial zones and outdoor operations.

For more occasional exposure, the ear band Uvex X-CAP SNR 24 dB is a light, practical and quick-to-fit solution. It can be paired with the Uvex X-CAP replacement ear plugs, sold in boxes of 5 pairs, to extend the use of the band while keeping good hygiene.

Uvex also offers children's ear defenders, designed to protect young ones during noisy events, concerts, shows, public events or family activities exposed to noise. For adult professional use, models such as the Uvex K2 or the Uvex X-CAP remain reliable references.

Uvex PHEOS FOREST forestry helmet: complete protection

The complete forestry helmet Uvex PHEOS FOREST targets professionals in landscaping, logging, pruning and outdoor maintenance. It combines a helmet, a metal mesh visor and SNR 30 dB ear defenders.

This solution protects head, face and hearing at the same time during work with chainsaws, brush cutters, hedge trimmers or noisy machinery generating projections.

Uvex glasses and goggles: protection, comfort and visibility

Uvex is particularly recognised for its safety eyewear. The Uvex MEGASONIC UV400 goggles offer a wide field of vision and are compatible with prescription glasses. They suit workstations exposed to projections, dust or liquids, while providing UV400 protection.

For outdoor work, the Uvex PHEOS CX2 UV400 sun protection glasses protect against UV and glare while providing real mechanical protection. They advantageously replace non-certified classic sunglasses on construction sites, in outdoor logistics, road work or landscaping.

The Uvex PHEOS CX2 SONIC goggles are designed for damp, dusty or salty environments. Lightweight and compact, they protect against projections while staying comfortable with other PPE.

The Uvex PHEOS CX2 CBR65 glasses bring improved visual comfort in bright environments. Their blue-light filter and UV400 protection make them useful in workshops, logistics, maintenance or workstations alternating between indoors and outdoors.

How to choose your Uvex PPE?

The choice depends on the main risk. For intense noise, go for the Uvex K2 SNR 31 dB ear defenders. For occasional sound exposure, the Uvex X-CAP SNR 24 dB ear band is lighter and easier to wear. For forestry work or landscaping, the Uvex PHEOS FOREST helmet is recommended.

For eye protection, the Uvex MEGASONIC suit prescription glasses wearers, the Uvex PHEOS CX2 sun glasses suit outdoor work, the Uvex PHEOS CX2 SONIC suit dusty or damp environments, and the Uvex PHEOS CX2 CBR65 suit bright environments requiring greater visual comfort.
