Thanks to an extra-wide field of vision, the visor ensures the best view on even the most narrow of pistes. The helmet’s mirrored lenses will enable design lovers and extroverted skiers alike to have all the attention on them. With the visor’s progressive shape, the uvex hlmt 500 visor defies the stereotype that visor helmets are practical but far less stylish. Design and function are completely unified in this helmet: the visor can be opened and closed with just one hand. The nose pad is anatomically shaped and fitted perfectly to the planes of the face, from the nose all the way to the ears.

Above all else, this guarantees good ventilation and increased comfort, with no pinching or poking. With uvex IAS-3D-System, the hard shell helmet can be adjusted to fit the exact width and height of the individual head. The uvex hlmt 500 visor also allows corrective glasses to be worn underneath with no problems. The visor protects against 100% of UVA, UVB and UVC radiation. The tried-and-tested uvex antifog coating prevents fogging of the spherical visor during adverse weather conditions and provides clear vision at all times.

Hardshell:
The helmet consists of a hard outer shell and an inner EPS layer. An effective safety combination makes the helmet resistant to external impacts and the inner layer absorbs them. For maximum safety and maximum comfort.

IAS 3D:
The sophisticated IAS 3D system provides optimal helmet size adjustment to different head sizes and shapes by simply turning the adjusting wheel. The space inside the helmet adapts to the height and circumference of the head.

Vent system:
Specially designed ventilation ducts draw in fresh air and dissipate warm air. This prevents unpleasant heat build-up inside the helmet.

ABS:
Helmet shell outer material. ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) is a relatively new, extremely strong and tough plastic with high resistance to pressure impacts, crack propagation and abrasion even at low temperatures. Good resistance to atmospheric influences and UV radiation. Its low thermal conductivity (no insulation required) makes it suitable for use in cold conditions.

EPS:
Inner material helmet.
The EPS protective material contains microscopic air chambers that effectively absorb impact forces when dropped. The EPS layer is injected directly into the outer shell of the helmet. A monolithic unit is formed which protects the head from impact and dampens it.
