Helly Helbrecht, since 1992 the MC glasses supplier of confidence and scene veteran

"To name Helly Helbrecht in connection with glasses for motorcyclists would be to carry owls to Athens or Harley to Milwaukee - Helly is (felt) THE inventor of "biker glasses". The scion of a family business from North Rhine-Westphalia, which has been active in the optics industry since 1966, was one of the first to think about the special eyewear needs of motorcyclists, and started his own thing in 1992, initially only trading in sunglasses. With "Helly Bikereyes", the breakthrough was achieved, not only in the scene, but also in product tests: Sunglasses test winner in MOTORRAD, four models among the top five. In the meantime, Helly not only equips motorcyclists: Hunters, anglers and recreational athletes of all stripes are among its customers; reading glasses, blue light goggles - there is hardly a pair of glasses that Helly does not offer, all also in individual prescription. Also typical of Helly: special marketing and service promotions such as the "Fair Deal," a "right to exchange" for prescription glasses."

Helly Bikereyes 231 tested

Our model "231" was judged in Europe's leading trade journal (MOTORRAD | Issue 04/2018) as follows...

"Form follows function is an argument among engineers that the look should always serve the function and not the other way around, but Helly's bike series prefer neither one nor the other, or otherwise: both."

If glasses then Helly! "The best sunglasses and goggles for bikers, athletes, snipers, hunters and special forces"

"Helly's eyewear is not only stylish, but also safe. A bombardment of 200 (km/h)things put the Bikereyes away easily. German technology and a bit of exploratory spirit, paired with the little quirk of the Helbrecht brothers and a remarkable production, make the Helly glasses what they are. The best sun and goggles for bikers, athletes, snipers, hunters and special forces."

Sylvain von Objectif Moto berichtet über unser Helly Bikereyes Modell fender 2.0

Sylvain from Objectif Moto reports about our Helly Bikereyes model fender 2.0

"The German brand Helly offers many eyewear, not only for bikers and especially with many options that we do not necessarily see otherwise: lenses directly in eyesight, tinted or polarized lenses, highly flexible frames and what we were most interested in, photochromic lenses.
(…) Without realizing it, they darken in the sun to finally look like classic sunglasses and of course have the filter function (UV400 protection). Protection against the sun varies from category 0 to 3 (from light to dark (…)).
I tested it on several helmets, for example on an HJC R-PHA11, the Premier Trophy or a jet like the Mambo Evo (…) and I'm thrilled."

Moped eyeglasses from Helly Helbrecht - everything just no conventions ... I do not make such a shit ...

"In 1999, when it was time to offer some sunglasses in person at a TV shop, Helly's answer was in plain language:" I can not make such a shit. "

With this quote in mind, we now go to Hilden - almost reverently hopeful to meet the godfather of sunglasses himself and at the same time with the anxious question in the back of the head: Not that he will welcome us so much...

We've not met so many people so far up on our sympathy scale as Helly Helbrecht! "

GRAVITY Mountainbike Magazine reports in issue #037 [May & June 2017] about the outdoor goggles "HSE - SportEyes 2305b" & "RX Universal Correction Clip".

We do not want to withhold the conclusion:

"The "HSE Sport Eyes 2305b" is a high-quality and modern downhill goggle at a fair price. In addition, you get for the goggles a lot of cool replacement lenses. The "RX Universal Correction Clip" fits most downhill goggles and ensures that riders with impaired vision can bike without worry. Only the field of vision should be a little wider at the clip."
