Rudy Project Rydon Buyer’s Guide

The Enduring Legacy of Rydon

Since 2002, the Rydon has become a benchmark in sports eyewear — accounting for 35% of all global sports sunglasses sales. Why? Because it combines timeless design, interchangeable lenses, unmatched fit, and long-term support. Whether you're hitting the road, the trails, or the shooting range, Rydon adapts to you.

Comfort That Moves With You

Adjustable Nose Pads for a Custom Fit

Every face is different, and Rydon respects that. Its multi-position Ergonose system lets you adjust height and distance from the face — reducing fogging and improving airflow during intense activity.

Flexible Temple Tips

Rydon’s fully adjustable temple arms mold to your head shape. Curved to sit securely behind the ears, they’re also helmet-friendly — staying comfortable during long rides or runs.

Interchangeable Lenses: Vision for Any Condition

The Rydon's Quick Change™ lens system allows you to swap lenses in seconds, depending on the light, terrain, or sport. Choose from:

• ImpactX Photochromic Lenses – Clear to dark with UV/light activation

• Polarized HDR Lenses – Reduce glare and enhance contrast

• Standard RP Optics – Lightweight, durable lenses in a wide range of tints

This lens-swapping flexibility makes Rydon one of the most versatile performance sunglasses on the market.
