For specific lens recommendations and light transmission data, please refer to the table at the bottom of the page.

IMPACTX Lenses 
ImpactX® lenses are unbreakable (thanks to a unique semi-rigid structure) and photochromic, meaning they darken or brighten automatically depending on light conditions. Originally developed for military and aerospace needs to be ultralight, bulletproof, and transparent, they provide significantly better protection and reliability compared to polycarbonate or polyamide lenses. The semi-rigid structure ensures the best physical protection for the eyes against external impacts while minimizing the severity of injuries from falls or strikes.

Features of ImpactX® Photochromic Lenses:

• Darken in seconds based on light intensity
• Guaranteed lifetime unbreakable performance + superior eye protection
• Excellent scratch resistance
• Exceptional optical clarity improves vision and reduces eye fatigue
• Full protection against harmful UV rays

When choosing lenses, consider the primary sport and environment (see the lens guide table below). For example, the best lenses for mountain biking, depending on weather, are: 
LE 73 ImpactX Photochromic 2 Black (Filter category 1-3; light transmission 74% – 9%) 
LE 74 ImpactX Photochromic 2 Red (Filter category 1-3; light transmission 76% – 17%)

RYDON Frame Features 
The RYDON glasses are incredibly lightweight (24g), durable, and fully adjustable. They feature exceptionally comfortable and easily adjustable nose pads that fit various face shapes and allow for tuning the height and distance of the lenses from the face. The frames also have adjustable temple tips—simply apply light pressure to bend them in the desired direction. The quick-change lens system allows for effortless lens swapping as weather conditions change.

Rudy Project utilizes innovative aerospace alloys such as Grilamid® and Kynetium. The Grilamid® frame is high-quality, impact-resistant, hypoallergenic, lightweight, and flexible. The Kynetium temples combine aluminum with magnesium, silicon, and titanium, creating eyewear that is exceptionally light (magnesium), durable (titanium), and flexible (silicon).
