Uvex History: Uvex is based in Fuerth, Germany with its US distribution enclaved in Rhode Island, now I bet you don’t know what Uvex means, Uvex stands for Ultraviolet Excluded, that means Uvex goggles and eyewear protect you from ultraviolet rays such as UVA, UVV and UVC rays of the sun, in fact, they pioneered this technology back in the nineteen fifties. It’s a family owned company for over eighty years and it’s the number one sport optic company in Europe. We are number one worldwide in goggles. You can find Uvex eyewear and protection for skiing, snowboarding, biking and motocross. Now, the bigger part of the company is actually protection and protective eyewear that you use in the manufacturing processes but that translates over perfectly over the type of protection that you need on the mountains. Did you know that more world cup skiers use Uvex goggles and helmets than any other brand? In fact, in the Torino Olympics in 2006, Uvex won thirty nine medals! Hey, I wouldn’t be out there in the hill with anything less but Uvex and you shouldn’t either.
