Test: Uvex has been a guarantor and strong partner for everything that protects for years, not just in mountain biking. The Franconians rely on high-quality workmanship and the best glass technology in the eyewear segment. The new Uvex Sportstyle 706 CV VM combines Colorvision and Variomatic technology in one stylish pair of glasses.
Uvex Sportstyle 706 CV VM: The technologies in detail
The abbreviations CV and VM in the product designation stand for the two lens technologies used in this Uvex Sportstyle 706. CV stands for Colorvision. The contrast-enhancing panes bundle the incident light on the pane and contrasts, especially green tones, are intensified. Ideal for use in nature. The advantage is obvious when mountain biking. Obstacles, bumps and details on the trail are recognized more quickly.
VM stands for Variomatic. The automatic lens tinting changes the protection factor of the lenses fully automatically. The transition between protection classes S1 and S3 is fluid. This means that the glasses can be worn permanently, in changing weather conditions or on extensive bike day tours.
This combination increases performance, responsiveness and thus safety. In addition, the lenses prevent 100 percent of harmful UVA, UVB or UVC rays from reaching the eyes. In addition, the Uvex Sportstyle does not tarnish thanks to the anti-fog coating, even in high humidity.
Uvex Sportstyle 706 CV VM: comfort and impression
Thanks to the light frame and the pleasantly soft coating of the temples, the Uvex Sportstyle 706 CV VM is comfortable to wear. Also, the temples don't fall out. The stylish goggles fit under most helmet models at any time without leaving uncomfortable pressure points. The nostrils can also be easily adjusted and adapted to the respective nose shape.
Once they are in place, you no longer notice that you are wearing glasses. Due to its low weight, it is almost imperceptible and the discs sound natural without harsh transitions.
The only small disadvantage: If it gets longer on the bike tour and it gets dark, the Uvex Sportstyle 706 CV VM doesn't completely drop the tint. There is always a slight residual tint.
