Take the outstanding
features already incorporated in Rudy Project sunglasses and improve them!
That’s what Rudy Project has done with the Ekynox SX. Along with the
contemporary styling of the Ekynox SX frame, they have added the newest lens
technology. Here’s what you get: ImpactX, photochromic, and
polarized.
Probably the most
significant in terms of safety is ImpactX. Can you say bulletproof? Can you say guaranteed
unbreakable for life? Sounds like something I would like covering my eyeballs!
As strange as it sounds, the lenses remain flexible. I suppose this is the “bend
not break” way of thinking.
Now, if only this lens
could change shades based upon the light conditions. Sure enough, Rudy Project
thought of everything. Can you say photochromic polarizing? In short, the lens
changes from light to dark depending upon the light conditions. If you are lazy
like me, you don’t have to take them off when you walk indoors. If you are a
tech geek, the lens is made with photochromic particles which produce the
changes and provides for polarization.

I was getting a few odd
stares every time I entered or left a building and took my sunglasses off to
look at the lens’ change color. It’s a bit like watching paint dry. You really
can’t see it happen but it does. I’m glad it works the way it does. No more
fussing with spare lenses. I have to admit I prefer the laser lens in bright
sunshine. Good thing I have my Rudy Project Kerosene’s on
standby.
I know I say this all
the time about Rudy Project’s, but it is true. The lens clarity is the best.
Every time I put a pair on, I think my eyesight gets better! The fact is, their
lenses enhance contrast, reduce glare, provide true vision without color
distortion, and protect you form ultraviolet rays. Another handy feature is the
strap interface. You can hook a strap to the bow more securely. Of course, there
is nearly infinite adjustment with the nosepiece and
temples.
I will readily admit it.
I love Rudy Project sunglasses and haven’t found anything better. The new
photochromic lens is great because I don’t bump into the wall anymore when I
walk in a building! Rudy Projects keep getting better.
