Uvex have been providing top tour de France squads, Team Telecom and Franceas de Jeau with road race
and time trial helmets for the last 4 years. Jan Ullrich has worn the mega Aero FP 2 helmet in all of his time trials.
Faris Al Sultan wears an unmarked FP2 aero helmet in all of his Ironmans, including his win at Hawaii in 2005
and his 3rd place in 2006..

Nicole Cooke has worn these helmets in all of her road race and time trial wins.

These helmets have proven themselves to be the most aerodynamically advanced on the market.
Unlike Giro and other helmet manufactures you can actually purchase the same helmet as these
top boys and girls are wearing straight from the shelf.....
For 2007 I will be wearing the FP2 aero helmet and the FP1 (race) road helmet pictured below.
I have been training in the FP1 helmet and it is far better fitting than the Giro I used to train in.
All Uvex FP helmets come with a very simple fitting system which is a little disk at the back of the lid.
Just turn it until you feel the lid is secure, and the chin strap is a doddle to fit.
You can even do it one handed, so no fumbling in transition!!!!
The helmets are extremely light, and they also have a very clever little light that fits to the back of the helmet,
which has a flashing LED . This has come in handy when I have been returning from a long ride
and I want to get a bit of protection in the fading light...
If anybody is interested in these helmets then go on to www.raleighbikes.com and check them out.
