Rudy Project has introduced a new lightweight design with the Astral X, positioned as a natural evolution of the brand’s best-selling Astral.
Astral X retains the features that made the original model so popular, such as lightness and secure fit. For Astral X, Rudy Project introduces a wider lens, for even greater protection from wind and light, while also improving visibility.
Thanks to collaboration with professional athletes like Johannes Klæbo, Rudy Project has optimized the lens shape to offer enhanced comfort.
Less weight, more protection
Building upon the success of its predecessor, Astral X stands out for its lightweight, weighing less than 30 grams, and offers customizable fit thanks to the adjustable nose pad and wrap-around temples, ensuring unparalleled stability even during the most intense activities.
Category 3 mirrored lenses
The RP Optics polycarbonate lenses are lightweight and durable, offering 91% UV protection (category 3) and clear, precise vision in all light conditions.
Thanks to advanced technology, with anti-reflective treatment that reduces glare and improves contrast, they reduce visual fatigue and enhance detail perception, allowing you to appreciate every detail of the landscape.
Astral X is available in numerous colour and finish combinations, including mirrored lenses and crystal or matte temples.
Sustainable materialsÂ
Crafted from sustainable Rilsan material – a polymer derived from castor oil, the temples are both flexible and durable. A choice that, in addition to guaranteeing high performance, contributes to more sustainable production.
Optical resolutions
Always attentive to athletes’ needs, Rudy Project also offers a customized optical solution for this model with an RX insert, allowing them to practice their favourite activities without compromising visual correction, reaffirming its dedication to high-quality sports eyewear.
Astral X is now available from £166 in 5 different colour variants from retailers, or via www.rudyproject.com
