The high technology of Rudy Project eyewear, which has always been synonymous with excellence and absolute reliability, has been a leading player in yet another extreme and gripping feat. The well-known French optician and mountaineer Jacques Marmet, famous for having recently scaled the Seven Summits, the highest mountains in each of the seven continents, has chosen the exclusive ImpactRX ophthalmic lenses by Rudy Project to reach the four highest summits in Nepal.
To reach the height of 6,200 m, between prohibitive temperatures and fierce technical difficulties, above all, Jacques Marmet had to think about correcting his long-sightedness. He found the solution with ImpactRX photochromic lenses, which guaranteed first-rate eyesight from close-up for reading maps and travel instruments, excellent panoramic eyesight and at the same time a good perception of contrasts for facing the forests of the Asian region at his best.
«The high technology of the Rudy Project lenses has literally conquered me», says Marmet and he explains: «The strong point of these lenses is, without doubt, their incredible light adaptation speed and their excellent quality of vision, both close up and at a distance. I didn’t notice any distortions, not even at the sides, despite the marked curve of the lenses». And he concludes: «Entering the forest, contrast was really important, if not indispensable, for distinguishing the reliefs and getting along paths beset with obstacles».
