From Rudy Project, the company known for its cutting edge and ‘technically cool’ products, comes the newest addition to its award winning sunglasses line – the Firebolt. Weighting in at an ultra light 27g, these ultra-light and stylish sunglasses offer ‘the perfect balance of ergonomics and optical performance in an affordable package.’
“These glasses distill down what Rudy is all about. Comfort, Style, Customization, Precision and Performance,” said Paul Craig, President and Co-Founder of Rudy Project North America. “We’re proud the Firebolt brings together these features with Italian craftsmanship at an affordable price point. These are sure to be a hot item for any athlete looking to up their game.”
The new design of the Firebolt utilizes a number of patented Rudy Project technologies in their wrap-around construction and embraces the historical look of the Ekynox SX, one of Rudy Project’s most successful frames ever.
The convenient and easy-to-use Quick Change system allows users to manage changing lighting conditions by easily swapping lenses; and thanks to the anti-slip soft rubber temple tips and adjustable Ergo IV nosepiece, the Firebolt fits the face comfortably, even while riding at extreme speeds or participating in strenuous activity.
“The shape of the Firebolt is ergonomically sculpted for wearing with a bike helmet or hat for running,” noted 15 time National Off-Road Bike race winner Shonny Vanlandigham. “The Firebolt will be well received by the cyclist because of the vented lenses that will keep your glasses from fogging during hot humid rides and races. This is especially key for mountain biking when you need clear vision to navigate obstacles on the trail.”
The Firebolt is also fully RX-able, utilizing Rudy Project’s flagship prescription eyewear technology, ImpactRX FreeForm TEK – which incorporates digital backside surfacing to increase peripheral vision by up to 20% over other leading RX Lenses.
The Firebolt has an MSRP of US$109.99 and is available for purchase online at www.e-rudy.com or from any authorized Rudy dealer..
