A longstanding member of the Rudy Project line, the Rydon is probably their most versatile cycling oriented model. In the base configuration they sell for $189 but you can also choose from a host of upgrades and options. The easy to swap lenses are offered in a range of colours but you can also select their special ‘ImpactX’ photochromic lens that automatically adjusts to suit varying light conditions. If you need prescription eyewear, the Rydon can be fitted with relatively affordable clip-on RX inserts, or you can go all the way and get their photochromic ImpactRx lenses. Beyond all the lens options, the Rydon features a lightweight customisable ‘Kynetium’ alloy temples with anti-slip pads and there are no sharp edges on the frame, making them a safer option if you do the dreaded face-plant. Rudy Project offers a two-year warranty and a ‘love it or your money back’ guarantee on their sunglasses.
