View Full Version : Overwhelmed by Choices

After trying out LAV's Rudy Project glasses at a recent class, I decided I'd procure some for myself.

Then I started looking at the Web site and got overwhelmed by the available choices. I don't have any dealers nearby to try any out.

I was originally going with the shooter's kit, but I'm not sure I need that many lenses, and I'm trying to figure out if a photochromic lens would suit me better.

Then I started looking at other frames, and I'm not sure if one is better than the others for shooting. I'm mainly looking at the Genetyk and Rydon frames. For some reason I'm concerned that the break at the bridge/the two-piece lenses on the Rydons will be something of a problem. Then we come to the Rydon Tactical, which doesn't seem to be a part of the shooting kit. I prefer the subdued logos if possible, though it's not necessarily a deal killer for me. I also don't know if there's a difference in thickness between the temples on the two different frames—I prefer as thin a temple as possible for comfort under earpro.

I think I'm leaning toward the Genetyk kit, but it's pricey even with a discount, so I'm wondering if the advantages over the Rydon kit makes it worth it beyond just the photochromic lenses.

Any guidance in this matter would be most helpful.

Jason,

Thanks for your interest in Rudy Project.

It's definitely easy to get overwhelmed with all of our different frame and lens choices, but you have narrowed it down to the 2 frames that I would have recommended for you: the GENETYK and the RYDON.

Now it's simply a matter of deciding whether you prefer a "single lens shield" (GENETYK), or a 2 lens configuration (RYDON).

I would suggest the photo clear lens and the photo red lens. These 2 lenses will cover just about every light condition.

In regards to pricing, there's no doubt that our products are expensive. But, in the case of shooting eye wear, you absolutely get what you pay for.

Please contact me if you have follow-up questions, or you need more info.

Thanks Jason.

Jason,

Please let me know what you think of the GENETYK, once you have a chance to put them through the ringer!

Be honest in your evaluation, and let me know if there's ANYTHING that you don't like about them.

I'm confident that (for shooters that appreciate good quality) there's nothing else out there even close to the craftsmanship, durability, clarity, and comfort of our eyewear!

Thanks Jason.
