The uvex astrospec 2.0 The new incarnation of the much-loved uvex astrospec safety spectacle

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Widely regarded as the most successful industrial safety spectacle ever produced, and certainly one of the most copied by manufacturers around the world, the classic uvex astrospec has been born again, taking style, technology, comfort, functionality and versatility to another level.

uvex’s makeover of the astrospec
includes:

  • A
    complete redesign
  • New
    soft-grip technology for ear-pieces
  • A secure
    and pressure-free fit
  • Innovative
    brow grip capability
  • The
    latest hinge technology
  • Increased
    comfort over long periods of wear
  • Adjustable
    inclination with flexible, wraparound side arms
  • Panoramic
    polycarbonate lens plus side protectors
  • A choice
    of uvex scratch- and permanent fog-resistant lens coatings
  • Ventilated
    labyrinth seal

 

The original uvex astrospec has
been trusted by customers for over 20 years, simply because it is the most unpretentious,
straightforward and adaptable safety spectacle in the market and does exactly
what it is intended to do – protect the wearer’s eyes from harm in the way they
would expect.

 

And now, with its added features
and new design, the uvex astrospec 2.0 is even more dependable. Classic design
features such as the central section arc have been retained, so users need not
worry that their beloved uvex astrospec spectacle has been changed too much in
the process of enhancement.

 

The uvex astrospec 2.0 has also
just won the internationally recognised Red Dot: Product Design Award 2014. The
panel of international experts discussed and evaluated 4,815 entries from 53
countries. Prof. Dr. Peter Zec,
initiator and CEO of Red Dot, on the decision process in the Red Dot Award:
“The 40 experts assessed the quality of the entries with the utmost care and
attention. Due to their backgrounds, they also assessed the special cultural
aspects of the designs from 53 countries.” Only designs that demonstrated a
high level of quality and innovation won an award. To find out more about the
