Rudy Project

I’ve been living in So. Cal and racing triathlons for the last 21 years. After trying several brands, I found Rudy Project and couldn’t be happier. The ability to change lenses to deal with the conditions is awesome. There are few things more annoying than scratched lenses. When this happens, you send them back to Rudy and for a small fee, they will send you new ones. Their customer service is terrific and they have, on more than one occasion, replaced my frames (no questions asked)…even once when I was out of the warranty period.
I have never seen nor heard of better sunglasses.
I am not a shill. This is my first Unilocal review of anything.

Rudy Project makes some of the best sunglasses and bike helmets I’ve ever worn. Their attention to detail and quality are second to none. Over the years I’ve worn products from the other big name brand sunglass makers and find the fit and optic quality of the Rudy Project models to be superior. I particularly like the wide range of lenses available for every lighting condition. I can easily fine tune the lenses of my Rydons for the anticipated conditions, whether it’s bright mid-​day sun (laser blue), hazy twilight (yellow or Racing Red) or after dark (clear). I don’t use them, but several cycling and speed skating buddies say the prescription inserts work great, too.
When I first tried a Rudy project helmet years ago, I wasn’t a fan. They were heavy and hot. That changed a couple of years ago when they reengineered the entire line of helmets. Now, the Kontact+ is my helmet of choice. It’s light and has tons of venting to let the breeze in and the heat out. The integrated bug net is also a big plus! i also like my Sterling.
So, if you’re looking for new sunglasses or helmet for your cycling and inline skating adventures, I highly recommend the Rudy Project products. They have wide variety of products to suit everyones’ activity and sense of style.
They have two web sites I visit. The main corporate site (
) offers lots of information on the various products and technologies. When i’m ready to buy, I visit their online store,
