Built upon 3 years of development with professional athletes and mechanical engineers, the Synform is a one of a kind, completely foldable performance sunglass. Featuring many of Rudy Project’s core technologies, including vented interchangeable lenses, fully adjustable temple tips, and the Ergonose 8™ nosepiece, the Synform can be custom fit to every face.

FOTONYK – Customize Your Performance Look
Two years of intense research and countless hours of design have culminated in Rudy Project’s latest performance sunglasses: the Fotonyk. Featuring an all new ‘Lens Bumper’ system, the Fotonyk provides enhanced protection to the face during falls or impacts, all while offering a customizable look. The bumpers, which are available in an array of colors, can even be removed to create a half-rim lens with an unobstructed view. In addition to this new technology, air channels are strategically placed at the top of the lens so users can easily manage internal airflow and mitigate fog. The fully adjustable ErgonoseX™ nosepiece and variety of interchangeable lenses, including the unbreakable and photochromic ImpactX lens, make the Fotonyk an individualized gear piece specific to the wearer’s unique style and face shape. The Fotonyk is also available with high-tech prescription solutions such as the brand new Optical Dock, capable of high strength corrections in a sturdy removable platform.
Who to buy it for: The fashion forward racer that loves everything custom.
 

TRALYX – What the Pros Wear
If you saw Aussie Tim Reed roar past the finish line at the 70.3 IRONMAN World Championship this year, you saw the Tralyx in action. Rudy Project redefined the pinnacle of sports eyewear technology with the top selling Tralyx performance sunglass. The powerful and dynamic design takes Rudy Project a step forward into the future, while
building upon 30 years of technical innovation in the eyewear industry. With brand new features such as the unique PowerFlow™ ventilation system, Adaptive Tips™, and the Ergonose™ IX nosepiece, the Tralyx is an absolute showstopper. This sunglass is also available with ImpactX-2 lenses, Rudy Project’s most durable photochromic lenses. We recommend the White Gloss frame for men and Rubin Gloss for women.

IMPACTX-2
Unbreakable Photochromic Optics
Building on Rudy Project’s ImpactX technology and after years of laboratory research and field tests with professional athletes, we’re proud to introduce ImpactX-2, a new array of technical lenses with uparalleled cutting edge photochromic particles. The lenses go from dark to light within a few seconds, and enhance contrast, even in darker conditions.
Polar 3FX
This revolutionary application of science and optics makes it possible to eliminate annoying glare and eye fatigue while not having to sacrifice visual clarity. After years of research and refinement, Polar 3FX was perfected by combining advance polycarbonate technology and process with cutting edge coatings, ensuring complete elimination of glare, polarized light, and harmful UV rays. The technology’s light absorption and molecular properties enhance contrast and depth perception while maintaining color integrity and minimizing eye strain.
