I have owned 10+ pairs of Rudy Project glasses over the past 20 years. These "new" models are definitely lighter. However, the lenses are more difficult to switch out than the older models (Rydon, Noyz, etc) and the ear pieces are less adjustable if at all. The lenses are also thinner, hopefully equally protective for flying objects (biking) and ski poles (cross country skiing). I have had these Propulse glasses for a few weeks so some time to find out their durability. The Noyz was a phenomenal design with incredible adjustability and ease of use.
Perfect for me
Buy don't think they are worth the price. $189.....pluse $84 to replace the lenses ?
They scratched in 3 months.
If the lenses were more like $40 I could stomach that a little better
Hi R. Guy Larsen,

I bought two helmets to try out: one the Rudy project and the other was from Scott. I tested them both back to back and found that the Rudy project fits better and has better ventilation and is 1 ounce lighter than the ARX from Scott. Both function very well, but the Rudy project is just a touch better on fit and finish.
I’ve had these for many years and they are still my favorites. So light weight and well made. I love the way they look as well.
Coming from a road helmet, this one was fantastic! They were able to get it to me before a 70.3 despite having some warehouse issues. So, not only am I happy with the product, customer service is also great!
