Glasses for every light
The strength of Rudy Project lies in its lenses. On many models, they are interchangeable: you can switch in seconds from a dark lens for bright sunshine to a clear lens for rain or dusk. The photochromic lenses automatically darken or lighten according to the brightness, making them ideal for long outings that pass through areas of shadow and light. The brand also offers solutions to integrate optical correction.
Choosing your sports glasses
Sports glasses should wrap around your face to protect against ultraviolet rays, wind, dust, and insects, without obstructing side vision. The adjustable arms and nose bridge, often made of rubber, ensure a stable fit, even when sweating. Check the sun protection category, ranging from zero for clear lenses to four for high mountains, the latter being unsuitable for driving. Clean the lenses with clear water and a microfiber cloth, and store your glasses in their case.
Good deals
Good deals can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped within 24 hours are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a stable order: the Black Friday in late autumn, the holiday season, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back-to-school season.
Frequently asked questions
How do variable tint glasses work?
Their photochromic lenses darken under UV light and lighten in shade or overcast conditions. This way, you can keep the same pair from morning to evening, in the forest or in bright sunlight, without changing lenses.
Why choose interchangeable lenses?
A dark lens for bright sunlight, a clear lens for grey weather, a transparent lens at dusk: you can adjust the tint to the conditions in seconds, all on the same frame.
Can you wear Rudy Project glasses with a prescription?
Yes, the brand offers solutions for vision, with an optical clip or prescription lenses depending on the frames. An optician will check compatibility with your prescription.
