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

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!
I love these sunnies! They are so functional and look pretty damn cool, too. They fit me well. cut down the bright glare of Sierra sun, still work when it’s a bit overcast and keep the wind out of my eyes. I rode my MTB yesterday on pretty dusty single track in +20 mph wind and didn’t get any dust or wind in my eyes. I have the Spinshield Air, too, but the Thunder fits me better. I don’t find smudges from my face on the lenses.
Got it the week be IM CHATTANOOGA and had it dialed in after one ride. It was only mid-80's out, but the vent worked well.
