I am not saying it's the only brand worth buying. But - the Rudy Project
shades I bought recently to wear for the first time during the Ötztaler
Radmarathon in Tyrol last Sunday, were worth every euro.I bought the
Kerosene version with changeable lenses - and I got yellow for grey weather
/ twilight - and smoke coloured for bright sun. (For the day long mountain
ride I chose the yellow glasses.)
But most important they protect your eyes from wind and insects.
They are designed to let your body damp blow away from the inside of the
lenses.
My only problem was, that this build in ventilation did not function on the
steepest hills (17 %) when I was really boiling AND going very slow at the
same time. Then I had to take off the shades till I gained speed again. I
don't know if other ventilation designs work on slower speed - but the
steepness of these climbs was extreme - and rare to most people.
The Kerosene model fit me comfortably. It is made of very durable and
flexible material.
To a man my age the looks are maybe a bit too cool, as if I want to appear
younger than I am. But what the hell - the quality of the product is
definitely all right. It should be at that price.
