Did you know the average human head weighs around 5kg (or 11lbs) - and all that weight is balanced on just 7 vertebrae in your neck!
Poor posture for extended periods of time or excessive strains on the neck can cause tension and pain, and can even result in a slipped disc.
Performing manual tasks puts particular strain on the upper spine, which is why when we were developing the uvex pheos face protection system the main focus was minimising extra weight and strain on the upper spine and neck.
The low weight and compact design supports a natural head posture, minimising strain on the neck and back.
