uvex: Riding helmets and gear from the safety specialist

uvex from Fürth has made protective equipment since 1926 and riding gear since 2009. We stock riding helmets, gloves and accessories.

uvex: Safe in the saddle

The story begins in 1926, when Philipp M. Winter founded uvex in Fürth, where the uvex group is still based today. The group also includes the brands ALPINA since 1980 and Heckel since 2001. For riders, 2009 is the key year: since then uvex sports has had its own equestrian product range. Since October 2025 Warburg Pincus has held a majority stake in the uvex group, while the founding families Winter and Grau retain a significant share.

Our focus is on riding helmets. These include the ixxo models, some with MIPS, the perfexxion III, the elexxion pro and the elexxion plus Hybrid. For young riders there are the kidoxx and the onyxx. Around the helmet you will find the helmet bag and the Winter Ears ear warmers for cold days. Riding gloves such as suntop and crx700 and the Loop Thermo snood complete your kit for the yard and the saddle.

Frequently asked questions

What does MIPS mean on an uvex riding helmet?
MIPS is an additional low-friction layer inside the helmet. It is designed to absorb rotational forces in an angled impact that would otherwise act on the head.

How do I find the right helmet size?
Measure your head circumference with a tape measure about a finger's width above your eyebrows. The helmet should sit firmly without pressure points and should not slip when you shake your head.

When should I replace my riding helmet?
After any fall in which the helmet takes a knock, even if nothing is visible on the outside. The foam inside may be damaged and will then no longer protect you reliably.
