Our decades of experience in developing and producing personal protective equipment across multiple product groups allows us to combine our expertise and deliver integrated design concepts that ensure both [**WEAR**ABILITY and compatibility](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/wearability-the-key-to-respiratory-protection-compliance/). This is certainly true when it comes to combining eyewear and respiratory protection. Our uvex silv-Air mask designs have been influenced by our uvex safety eyewear to ensure they fit and work together to provide uncompromised protection levels and enhanced performance. Together, these two cost-effective solutions deliver an unmistakable partnership – after all, if PPE works and is comfortable, it’s more likely to get worn. Our development has also allowed us to design our RPE to achieve the best possible fit which in turn provides extremely high results when it comes to face fit testing.
