Germany's leading brand of cycling helmets and one of the sponsors of the Winter Olympics. At Sochi 2016, 450 professional athletes from around the world used Uvex products and won a total of 68 medals. It is not difficult to see that Uvex's financial resources are quite strong, and at the same time, many domestic users have faith in German brands, and Uvex's sales in China have not been bad. But in reality, at least in the field of snow helmets, the Germans did not do a great job in any respect.
 
In the early days, Uvex was proud of its active ventilation technology, but in fact, strictly speaking, the way of front and rear convection did not fully meet the definition of "active ventilation", but compared to the "chimney ventilation" with air holes at the top. Secondly, the so-called "active ventilation" technology has a very low technical threshold, so it has long been commonplace in the products of other brands. Coupled with the slow pace of follow-up of new technologies, whether it is a MIPS system or a similarly functional SPIN pad, Uvex's current helmet is not equipped, and the once strong man now seems to have been somewhat abandoned by the times.
 
Although the hero is in his twilight years, some traditional craftsmanship is still relatively solid, such as the UVEX HLMT 500 Visor, which has a hybrid structure, a simple and straightforward design, and an integrated helmet that is suitable for users who wear glasses as well as women who wear makeup. As an all-in-one helmet, the weight of 595g is not out of line, but whether such a helmet is worth selling for $300 is really worth discussing.
 
It is worth mentioning that the UVEX HLMT 500 Visor is available in a chrome mirror version in some offline stores, which has a very strong visual impact. If you especially like the bold look, you can pay attention to it.
