Rudy Project Rydon II Eyewear

Having eyewear that is comfortable and designed for performance is probably one of the most important aspects of gear that athletes look for. While everyone’s face is a different size and shape, finding the right pair of glasses that works for you is critical.

I have been using the Rydon II by Rudy Project for over 2 years now. This frame is designed for the smaller face shape in mind. Its constructed of an ultra light carbon, flexible, and heavily durable materials. They are so light in fact, that I often forget they are even on my face. The nose bridge can be adjusted to create a custom fit and the arms are equally flexible, having the ability to flex and bend as much as desired around the head.

The Rydon II comes with 3 different interchangeable lens’s which are easy and quick to switch. I have tested these glasses to the max and beyond. They have withstood the abuse of multi-day racing and the constant bashing around in my backpack during the night. I love them because they are reliable, tough and comfortable to wear.
