Traditional looks with high-tech interior

uvex offers the high-tech answer to the traditional riding helmet. Perfect for riders who prefer classic style, whether they ride in the dressage arena, at formal riding events, or on trails. The surface finish of this ultra-modern helmet, from the multi-award winning fp 3 range, has a special flock coating for a soft, velvet look.

fp 3 elegance cc meets the highest protection standards while providing optimal ventilation, perfect fit and great comfort. Thus it meets the requirements of today’s horse rider by combining classic looks with the latest superb protection and function.
A special injection moulding technique is used to engineer the high quality, special plastic shell. This makes it very light whilst still offering the highest protection.

Thanks to the uvex climate management system, the fp 3’s clever, temperature-regulating interior helps you maintain a cool head in all situations. uvex climate management works in all conditions, cooling or warming, venting or storing heat, as desired. Just like our body’s own climate control system. For exceptional comfort and enjoyment at every level of physical exertion and in all weather conditions.

Key technologies guarantee exceptional performance. These include a specially developed,  breathable, yet waterproof and windproof membrane, a material that absorbs and wicks sweat (similar to functional underwear), and strategically-placed, integrated air channels. Excess heat, from physical exertion or high ambient temperatures is quickly dispersed. In cold and wind, the material will help retain heat. The helmet lining is removable, washable and anti-allergenic. Optional winter ear covers are also available.

The built-in uvex IAS-3D fit system enables you to fine-tune the perfect fit to every head shape: all
fp 3 helmets feature stepless, three-dimensional height and width adjustment. IAS-3D technology won uvex the Innovation Award at Spoga Horse 2010. The uvex monomatic chin strap closure is easy to operate with one hand. The soft-edged visor is engineered in two plastic components.

uvex fp 3 elegance cc is available in four sizes, XXS-S 52-55, S-M 55-58, M-L 57-59, L-XL 59-61. Colours: black, dark blue or, NEW from Autumn 2011, chocolate brown. Price: €249.95 RRP.
