What if the item I want is out of stock?

If the item you want is out of stock we encourage you to select the "notify me when back in stock" option to enter your email address and we will email you immediately once we receive more inventory of the item.

How do I know what helmet size to order?

Each helmet product page has a Size Guide section with each size's measurements as well as a link to our helmet size chart for all helmet models. To measure your head size, wrap a tape measure horizontally around your forehead as shown below. Select the helmet that is the closest fit to that size. A helmet should fit snug on your head, if it moves around a lot while wearing, it is too large.

What are ImpactX® Photochromic lenses?

ImpactX® lenses are made by photochromic particles which provide unique climatic management technology. Getting dark from low to high light transmission within few seconds and tailored to reach a custom color from an initial clear state, ImpactX® lenses are available in multiple colors and some feature a laser mirror coating. ImpactX® lenses enhance contrast, even in darker conditions, they will improve visual acuity and depth perception while providing unparalleled eye protection. Unlike most photochromic standard lenses, ImpactX® lenses are fused in the mass of the polymer itself with a complex manufacturing process, making it more resistant and clearly optically superior to most competitors. While the photochromic properties of ImpactX® lenses allow them to transition from light to dark very rapidly some environments like extreme cold can effect the speed and darkness of this transition.

Can I use my contact lens prescription to order Rx glasses?

Contact lenses are closer to your eyes so eyeglass prescriptions are a little different. Generally contact lens exams will include the eyeglass examination vales as well so your Dr. should have both on file.

What if my Rx prescription is expired?

Prescriptions are normally good for 2 years unless otherwise noted by your doctor. We require an up-to-date valid prescription to place a custom Rx order with us. If you’ve purchased glasses with us previously then we will have your prescription on file and can use it if it is not expired. We recommend having an updated exam done before investing in a new pair of custom Rx glasses.

When will my Rx prescription order ship?

Please allow 7-10 business days for your custom prescription order to be completed prior to being shipped to you. Once completed you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your order's tracking number included.

Due to the complexity of some custom prescription orders this processing time may be increased. To help expedite the processing time of your Rx order we ask that you make sure to include your prescription by either uploading it at checkout or replying to your order confirmation email with the prescription attached. Please make sure your prescription includes your doctors name, the exam date and all prescription values including your pupil distance (PD) measurement or your order may be delayed.

Prescription


Rx Lens Types

Single vision Rx prescription lenses

Single vision prescription lenses are used to correct a single vision problem such as nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism. They contain the same amount of vision correction throughout the entire lens.

Contact us to speak to one of our Rx specialists about your specific prescription needs

Progressive Rx prescription lenses

Progressives are multifocal lenses that contain three main fields of vision including near, intermediate and distance. However, progressives do not have a visible line between prescriptions. This gives the wearer a seamless and uninterrupted transition when looking from up-close objects to far-away distance.

Contact us to speak to one of our Rx specialists about your specific prescription needs

Bifocal Rx prescrition lenses

Bifocals contain two prescriptions within the same lens. The eyeglass lens is split into two sections; the upper part is for distance vision and the lower part for near vision. When you’re looking at someone who is wearing bifocals, you can often see the line between their nearsighted and farsighted prescription.

Contact us to speak to one of our Rx specialists about your specific prescription needs

Rx Lens Materials

ImpactX®

Rudy Project's proprietary brand of the highest clarity photochromic lenses that are both extremely light weight and the most impact resistant lenses available. ImpactX® prescription lenses are made of the same proprietary material as the standard ImpactX® photochromic lenses. They are created individually, using the wearer's prescription, but also the wearing parameters processed by digital calculations to maximize a full field of view and prevent distortion in wraparound sports eyewear.

For more information on our Rx technology and options visit our Rx Technology Page

Contact us to speak with one of our optical team members about your custom prescription needs

Trivex

Trivex is another lightweight, impact-resistant material used to make Rx lenses. Similar to polycarbonate but more lightweight, Trivex is an excellent lens material for prescription sports eyewear applications.

For more information on our Rx technology and options visit our Rx Technology Page

Contact us to speak with one of our optical team members about your custom prescription needs

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate is an excellent choice for people with a strong prescription. These lenses provide visual clarity without adding too much thickness to the lens. While Polycarbonate lenses are not as lightweight as ImpactX® or Trivex lenses they are generally thinner making them ideal for high prescriptions.

Rx Lens Properties

Photochromic

Photochromic lenses will go from light to dark by adapting to UV and lighting conditions. Great for versatility and activities with variable light conditions. Photochromic lenses are available in all lens material types but depending on your prescription some exclusions may apply. Additionally some windows, such as a car windshields, contain a UV filter that can affect the activation of some photochromic lenses.

Contact us to speak with one of our optical team members about your custom prescription needs

Polar 3FX HDR

Available in polycarbonate lens material our Polar 3FX HDR polarized technology protects your eyes from all harmful UV rays and eliminates glare by selectively filtering non harmful wavelengths through the lens. Polar 3FX HDR technology is designed to filter glare from car headlights, sun rays and the refracted light on wet or shiny surfaces like water and snow. Plus, the all new Polar 3FX HDR polarized lenses features the HDR filter which is fine tuned to maximize your safety by improving contrast in urban, mountain and road bike environments. The result is bright and comfortable vision, sharper details perception and brighter colors with considerable reduction in eye fatigue.

Helmets

WG 11 Rotational

At Rudy Project, we are committed to developing products aimed at the highest level of safety, exceeding requirements set by international standards, such as the CE or CPSC norms. Today our goal is to go even further by surpassing a new experimental testing protocol based on real accident data and scientific sources. The WG11 rotational impact test is a protocol adopted by Rudy Project, in cooperation with accredited and notified bodies, to test and measure the performance of our helmets against rotational impacts. The WG11 “pass-fail” criterion is based on the BRIC (Brain Injury Criterion) value, an algorithm that defines the level of brain injury. This value must be less than 0.68. Several studies in fact showed that concussive values of BRIC for humans varied from 0.60, when scaled directly from animal data, to 0.68 when obtained directly from college football players.

Hexocrush Technology

Originally inspired by Conehead technology and developed be extremely lightweight, this entirely new structure is one of the most advanced Rudy Project solutions. And it is designed to maximize your safety by ensuring unprecedented level of security. The liner is molded with two different foam densities and the hexagon-shaped structure provides improved shock absorption by dissipating impact forces sideways and radially. Thus, the Hexocrush reduces the g-force pressure on the head in case of falls or impacts.

Lenses

Do all of your lenses offer UV protection?

Our lens program has features common to every type of lens, such as neutralizing ultraviolet radiation completely up to 400 nm (UV 400 Protection), and maintains colors integrity even with the dark filters. We believe it is not enough to protect the eyes from hazardous radiation and external agents. It is also important to enhance visual acuity and minimize distortion, while offering high quality optics suitable for sports. In some extreme conditions an athlete must rely on technologies to enhance performance and minimize distractions. For this reason, we have expanded the range of filters with specific treatments including anti-fog, hydrophobic, and photochromic technology.

What is RP D Centered Optics?

RP D Centered Optics technology features lenses where the optical axis is maintained parallel to the main axis of vision, permitting maximum utilization of lenses with extensive curvature (basis 6-8), respecting the need of optical quality and visual clarity.

ImpactX® - Outstanding Photochromic Technology

ImpactX® lenses are made by photochromic particles which provide unique climatic management technology. Getting dark from low to high light transmission within few seconds and tailored to reach a custom color from an initial clear state, ImpactX® lenses are available in multiple colors and with the Laser mirrored coating (Black and Laser Black , Red and Laser Red, Laser Brown, Laser Purple and Laser Crimson). ImpactX® lenses enhance contrast , even in darker conditions, they will improve visual acuity and depth perception while providing unparalleled eye protection. Unlike most photochromic standard lenses, ImpactX® lenses are fused in the mass of the polymer itself with a complex manufacturing process, making it more resistant and clearly optically superior to most competitors. While the photochromic properties of ImpactX® lenses allow them to transition from light to dark very rapidly some environments like extreme cold can effect the speed and darkness of this transition.

ImpactX® - Guaranteed Unbreakable For Life

ImpactX® lenses are guaranteed unbreakable for life. Their molecular semi-rigid properties ensure unique light management and unparalleled eye protection from sun rays and atmospheric elements. ImpactX® is a family of patented polyurethane optical polymers, transparent and unbreakable, originally developed for military and aerospace requirements to provide bulletproof, transparent, and lightweight material capable of providing superior protection, reliability and longer lasting performance than polycarbonate.

ImpactX® - Lightweight Material

ImpactX® lenses are 16% lighter than CR-39 and 10% lighter than polycarbonate; they have lower internal stress and chromatic dispersion than polycarbonate, resulting in sharper images, higher definition, reduces "rainbowing', and more visual comfort. The program offers cutting-edge photochromic and polarized technology for unparalleled weather management.

For more information visit our Lens Technology Page

ImpactX® - HDR High Dynamic Range

In addition to faster activation, the innovative photochromic pigments specifically developed for the new ImpactX® 2 lenses, incorporated an advanced filter function which scientifically modulates the wavelength of light passing through the lens: by eliminating a portion not perceived by our eyes and optimizing its spectrum, the HDR technology provides extraordinary visual performance. While maximizing the chromatic range, perceived benefits include superior perception, sharper image and unparalleled enhanced contrast definition.
