Rudy Project in America's Cup with Desafío Español team

Glasses by Rudy Project were also recruited to the Desafío Español team for the 32nd edition of the America's Cup, the most fascinating yachting competition in the world, the first in Europe since 1851.

The Spanish crew is currently taking part in the Louis Vuitton Cup Act 10 challenge, one of the match race regattas before the final stage in 2007 in Valencia, when the winner of the Louis Vuitton Cup will be entered against the Swiss Alinghi team, which won the title in Auckland in 2003.

The crew of the Desafío Español team chose to wear Rudy Project sunglasses fitted with ImpactX Polarized Photochromic lenses, a guarantee of peak performance and incomparable vision comfort.

The Spanish team chose highly technological lenses, which take advantage of NXT, the patented material from Intercast Europe which is transparent, shatterproof and guarantees a high level of protection, reliability, performance and greater durability compared to polycarbonate.

The photochromic lenses darken in a few seconds as light intensity increases. As they are polarizing lenses they also prevent annoying reflections, increase contrast and depth perception.
