Rudy Project
Rudy Project designs and manufactures hi-tech sunglasses, Rxes, goggles and helmets by listening to the feedback from athletes and applying the most advanced science and technology. Crafted in Italy since 1985 and brought to North America in 1993, Rudy Project has grown quickly as a premier brand among athletes competing in a number of intense fields – especially Cyclocross. Richard Sachs and Rudy Project formed an alliance early on, and have grown that relationship over the last two decades.
“When Rudy Project North America started in 1998, there was a hand full of important relationships we had: Michellie Jones, the US Postal Service, and Richard Sachs,” said Paul Craig, President and Co-Founder of R.A.C.E., exclusive distributors of Rudy Project in North America. “Richard and his team have been great ambassadors and consultants, and it would be no stretch to say that their influence is hard-wired into the very DNA of Rudy Project. We’re grateful of our relationship and look forward to continuing our partnership in the coming years.”
Since its establishment in North America, Rudy Project has won Outside Magazine’s prestigious “Gear of the Year” Award twice for its cutting edge frame and lens technologies. Rudy helmets have become an iconic symbol at races around the world, and have famously been worn by cyclists from leading teams such as Cannondale Racing and the 2013 Tour de France Green Jersey winner, Peter Sagan.
Of late, Rudy Project has prided itself for providing the absolute best prescription eyewear for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts around the world. What sets Rudy Project apart is unparalleled customer service standards, cutting edge products, technological innovations, and proprietary, award winning lens technologies including ImpactX™, Polar3FX™ and RPOptics™. Rudy Project offers a Lifetime Replacement Lens Guarantee and an industry leading 3 year frame warranty.
