Which is the perfect combination of mask and spectacles?
For many years, uvex has been a global leader in industrial safety eyewear. This expertise enabled uvex to develop its highly functional uvex silv-Air respirators.
The aim was to seamlessly combine two products. This was achieved through a closely coordinated product development process for safety eyewear and respiratory protection. Optimal protection could only be ensured if safety eyewear and respiratory protection were regarded as a single, unified entity.
The result of this combined expertise is the three dimensional shape of uvex silv-Air respirators. They create an optimum, close fit of safety eyewear without any slipping. As the equipment remains firmly in place, optimum eye protection is guaranteed. uvex preformed and folding masks are therefore particularly suitable for combination with uvex safety eyewear.
To make it easier to choose the right combination for you, we carried out subjective fit tests. In the course of these, uvex’s five different mask types were tested in tandem with the most popular uvex safety eyewear. The table below gives an overview of the results, which should hopefully help you to make the right decision!
