I used it the first time at 66 miles Bike-a-thon in Philly. They were comfortable, covered lots of my face and super stylish.
I recently had a horrific accident where I went entirely over the handlebars, landing directly on my head and the left side of my body.
The impact was severe enough that I broke my collarbone in two places and fractured a couple of ribs. However, despite my head bouncing off the pavement twice, I walked away with absolutely zero head or neck injuries. No concussion, no trauma, nothing. The helmet took the entire force of the blow so my brain didn't have to. Looking at the damage to the helmet, it’s clear that it did exactly what it was engineered to do.
I do a lot of EMTB in Mammoth Lakes and there are loads of tall trees. Light comes and goes and with the Defender's the lenses changes so my visibility is always good. Something I think is important when riding.
Picked up my first Rudy Project helmet to rotate with my other helmet. Went with the Nytron to mix it up and be different. Have had multiple compliments on in at the group rides. Helmet is comfortable and has good adjustment. Vents have great airflow at speed. Like the difference look. Would like to add a Wing helmet at a later date. Definitely happy with my purchase.
I recently bought my first helmet from Rudy Project — The Wing — and after four rides I’m very impressed. The helmet feels incredibly stable, especially in windy conditions, which makes rides more enjoyable and confidence-inspiring. I also really like the adjustable vent that lets you choose between maximum aerodynamics or added airflow depending on the ride. I haven’t raced in it yet, but it already feels fast and I’m excited to use it on race day.
The frame itself is comfortable and suitable for sports use, but the RX lens execution is not fully satisfactory. The thinning process and optical quality around the peripheral area may affect the viewing experience. I expected better consistency and clearer information for a Rudy Project RX product.
Solid first ride and then gravel race in the Spinshield Pro. Loved having one lense for all conditions. Adapted well in low light conditions in the woods and then in bright sunlight. Light, well ventilated, I forgot I was even wearing them.
Been using it for 3 years to cycling, running, any outdoor you say it! Always looking good pro shades!
I have never had glasses this comfortable before, nothing is perfect, but if there's something better I haven't experienced it yet because these feel great to wear and just fit so right over the ears and nose. They look sleek and aero, I went with the ImpactX Photochromic 2 Laser Purple Lens for a nice balance of day and evening riding.
I am a big fan of the Strym helmets but they are no longer available. The Venger appeared to be a reasonable replacement so I ordered one. My main complaint about this helmet is its square shape. While the Strym is more oval inside, the Venger is squared off along the forehead and back. Not a great deal but it is noticeable and over a few hours begins to become annoying to me.
I would not recommend this helmet or purchase it again. I'll continue to nurse my 3 Strym helmets along.
much more comfortable than my Giro Aerohead v1 (which is narrower and pinch my head a bit)
I did a test Feb 5 in the A2 wind tunnel in Mooresville, NC. I tested the Wingdream on my Argon TT bike vs my four year old Giro Aerohead. The test was a wash, no advantage for either helmet. Obviously I was hoping to get quicker with the Wingdream. I’m a M75 USAC racer and have raced over 20 seasons winning numerous local TTs for my age group and several National Senior Games Golds. I’ll try the Wingdream in a couple early season races as I believe my vision is better but I don’t believe it has an aero advantage based on the tunnel test results.
Had a skating crash yesterday and landed hard on the back of my head. The RSRmicro straps broke free and cushioned my head so I got a goose egg on my head but no concussion! I am ordering a new one so I can get back to practice.
Mine are brown frames with brown-green lenses. They remind me of the Spinair with a hint of aviator. Lightweight. Many compliments!
I like the wide field of vision and they are very high quality. Crystal clear lenses. They are bit wider fit vs the non-prescription Cutline pair that I own given less lens curvature of the prescription version.
I fell wearing my glasses and destroyed one of the lenses. I contacted the company and I was able to replace the lense without having to replace the glasses entirely. The new lenses came quickly and were easy to pop right in. I am thrilled to be able to fix them as they are my favorite sunglasses and I cannot live without them. I have light color eyes and these are my go to glasses on overcast or cloudy days.
I bought my Rydon RX-8 base single vision Trivex prescription lenses because my husband insisted. He’s crazy about road biking and everything related to it. I had always complained about not having proper sunglasses for cycling, just regular ones, since I wear prescription glasses, and it’s not easy to find cool cycling sunglasses with transition lenses. He suggested these Rudy Project sunglasses, saying they would be perfect for me. I had been considering another brand, but he was confident about this one. He helped me choose the right model to match exactly what I was looking for in cycling sunglasses.
When I received them, like anyone who wears prescription lenses knows, it takes time to adjust. The first time I tried them, I felt that strange sensation of wearing something new and different in style, but I thought it wasn’t a big deal. The next morning at 6:30 during my usual ride, I realized I couldn’t see clearly. The lights appeared doubled, and my eyes felt pressure. I thought it would pass, but after about 15 minutes, my vision still wasn’t clear, and I got too close to my husband’s bike. I had to brake suddenly and ended up being thrown into the air, falling with my bike on my back. I’ve been riding for almost two years and had never fallen before. I was very upset, and because of the injuries, I couldn’t ride for the next week, so I didn’t wear the sunglasses.
The following week, I tried riding again and felt the same sensation, forcing me to stop. I was scared and frustrated with the sunglasses. I contacted the store to complain, and they were very kind and helpful with the return process.
In the end, I decided to wear them while walking outside during the day. By the end of the day, my vision adjusted, and I could see as clearly as with my other sunglasses. I didn’t return them. They are stylish, unique, and I’m very excited to finally enjoy them!

Skudo Mango Shiny Small/Medium The one that I got have crisp plastic parts which snapped on my 2nd use.
field of vision is solid. innovative magnetic buckle. lightweight visor. big bang for the buck. get this helmet!
This helmet is seriously worth every penny! Comfortable, ridiculously aero and the field of vision is absolutely superior! Highly recommend it
Rudy helmet saved my life. Crashed my TT bike and the helmet took full force of the impact. I did not even have a headache after my head hit the road.
Got this to replace my crashed Spectrum (which I loved). Elegant yet practical design, stylish, innovative strap and retention system, sweet ventilation (yet aero enough), and peerless quality. Fits perfectly!

Skudo White Shiny Large I love the helmet. You get a quality Rudy Project helmet at an entry level price, with no special frizzles but just pure quality that you can feel on your head and looks nice. It became my daily training helmet for my 1hour morning ride.
I had initially ordered the wrong color, Photochromic, Purple, lenses, but Iordered the actual lenses I want, ImpactX Photochromic 2 Laser Red, for one of my Rydon frames, of which I have four (MTB, golf, shooting, and night walks).
At least two sets of mine are the clear lenses.
I, and our son, have been using Rudy Project Rydon, for decades now, initially for MTB riding (including night riding) and racing.
Rydon glasses ventilate well, are comfortable, and the vision’s good enough for the essential protection they offer, with quick changeable lenses (but once I set in the lenses I almost never change them).
Cheers,
Christian Jung Ho
