Rudy Project Lens Types and Colors Always at the peak of technology, Rudy Project lenses provide optical clarity and physical protection of the eyes making them ideal for all sports enthusiasts. All Rudy Project have an outstanding optical quality and are designed to reduce glare and protect from ultraviolet rays in a lightweight, anti-scratch, unbreakable lens. - Polycarbonate is injected under pressure that can reach 800 bars to ensure lightweight, UV protection. RP Optics lenses are afocal sunglass lenses, which are optically correct and provide excellent clarity. The materials used in the RP Optics program are the finest available.ImpactXTM - ImpactX™ lens technology offers breakthrough NXT® semi-rigid molecular properties formulated exclusively for Rudy Project. After years of laboratory research and field tests with professional athletes, ImpactX has been perfected with cutting edge light management technology by combining photochromic particles and advanced polarized technology, incorporating superior impact resistance with enhanced visual acuity, for virtually any climatic condition. Thanks to their transparency and superior optical quality, lenses made in NXT® (bullet-proof, transparent, and light-weight material capable of providing superior protection, reliability and longer lasting performance than polycarbonate) ensure sharp vision and unbeatable comfort. ImpactX™ Photochromic lenses provide unique climatic management technology, getting dark from low to high light transmission within few seconds; ImpactX™ Polarized Photochromic enhance contrast and depth perception while providing unparalleled eye protection. RP-D CenteredTM - The optical axis is maintained parallel to the main axis of vision, permitting maximum utilization of lenses with an extensive curvature (basis 6 – 8), while respecting the need of optical quality and visual clarity, and minimizing eye fatigue. UV Protection - Light is an electromagnetic ray characterized by its wave length and measured in nanometers (1 nm = one millionth of a millimeter). The ultraviolet rays (UVA, B and C) are the most dangerous rays for the eyes. Rudy Project lenses absorb all of the ultraviolet rays - the residual transmission is less than 0.001% up to 380 nm, less than 0.1% at 385 nm (the wave length at which the visible spectrum begins). The lenses receive an application of metal ions of chrome or silicon oxide, calculated in such a way as to provide a precise absorption factor. Anti-Fog Treatment - Fogging is due to the formation of microscopic drops of water on a surface that is cooler than the surrounding environment. The anti-fog technology minimizes bothersome fogging by permitting the lens to absorb the droplets. Anti-Scratch Treatment - Treated by coating with polyxilosane, the lens is hardened by exposure to heat at 120°C. This specific treatment gives it excellent resistance to abrasion and scratching. All Rudy Project lenses come with a Replacement Lens Guarantee (RLG) for scratched/damaged lenses. Hydrophobic Treatment - The hydrophobic treatment facilitates runoff or water droplets from the surface of the lens, maintaining vision free of the typical distortion caused by wearing the glasses in an aquatic environment or in the rain. They are ideal for surfers, sailing and all aquatic sports. |
