Uvex Comanche

Founded by Philipp M. Winter in Fürth, Bavaria in 1926, by 1936 he was supplying safety eyewear to competitors in the Summer Olympics.

His son - Rainer Winter coined the “uvex” brand name, based on an abbreviation of the quality seal for lenses – Ultra Violet EXluded. From 1956, all sports and leisure products were and still are sold under the uvex brand.

In 1972, uvex launched the uvex downhill: the first ski goggles with a spherical, injection-moulded lens and anti-fog coating and by 1987 the first manufactured helmets were introduced in Germany.
