Uvex Helmets and Jackets
I've seen these online...
Uvex Enduro Helmet
Uvex Breeze Jacket.
UVEX Sports
They seem like nice bits of kit I'm especially interested in the Helmet
Has anyone seen these in the flesh, or better used them?

Went to have a look but I don't speak Dutch!
They look okay but I have never actually picked one up. Have a look at the thread below, it discusses cheaper makes of helmets. My argument is that some of these cheaper helmets are in fact better buys than the more expensive designer makes...

Hi Stevesawol,
I use the BMW Enduro helmet, which I understand is made by Uvex.
It's comfy, light and very well made.

I can't speak dutch either which is why I clicked the little EN in the top right hand corner, which took me to this:
UVEX Sports EN
TA-DAH!!!
Tried on the Uvex Enduro/Full face helmet the other day, it looked great but seemed to be made for those with long thin head shapes and was too tight at the sides for me, but maybe that's a head thing, not a helmet thing.

Cheers Alexlebrit, However on the English page there's no listing for the Enduro helmet for some reason What did the seal around the visor look like? any good?
I'm having trouble tracking one down in the flesh. Plenty of dealers are stocking UVEX but not that model. Which makes me wonder why no one is stocking it??? a new model perhaps? no good?
