Astral Sphere combines cutting-edge technology, refined design and optimal comfort to meet the expectations of the most demanding athletes. Some cyclists from the World Tour Bahrain Victorious team are already using this model in the first races of the season.

Sports performance and possible optical correction

The Astral Sphere stands out with its spherical lens design, an alternative to the cylindrical configuration of its predecessor.
Thanks to its larger lens surface, the mask offers better peripheral vision, reduces glare (by eliminating flat spots where light could reflect) and, thanks to the increased volume between the face and the lenses, improves ventilation and reduces fogging. In addition, vision is optically more precise, with distortion being virtually non-existent.

The new model is also compatible with ImpactX® photochromic lenses, unbreakable lenses made exclusively for Rudy Project, offering exceptional adaptation to different light conditions, optimal visual clarity and total UV protection.
Additionally, it is available with Polar 3FX Multilaser lenses, specially designed for activities where reducing glare and improving color contrast is essential.

Urban artist Astral Sphere can be equipped with a Rudy Project optical insert, which allows athletes to integrate visual correction into their sports glasses.

Durable and perforformants

The Astral Sphere frame is made of Rilsan Clear®, a bioplastic derived from castor oil. This responsibly produced and BPA-free material combines lightness, chemical resistance and flexibility.

Comfort and versatility: glasses to wear for a long time

Designed for long-term wear, Astral Sphere glasses offer high comfort and an excellent fit. The lightweight structure, ergonomic nose bridge and adjustable temples allow them to be adapted to different face shapes, ensuring safety and comfort even during intense sports activities.
