ImpactX™ represents today the most advanced technological solution in the field of vision protection. Lenses made in NXT¨ ensure sharp vision and unbeatable comfort.
Since the development of CR-39 and Polycarbonate over 40 years ago, there have been few advances and innovations in high impact resistant optical polymer development. NXT¨ is a family of patented polyurethane optical polymers, transparent and unbreakable, originally developed for the military to provide superior protection and performance: NXT¨ was born in the USA in the early 1990’s when the U.S. Government contracted Simula Technologies to develop a new bullet-proof, transparent, and light-weight material capable of providing superior protection, reliability and longer lasting performance than polycarbonate. This material is also used in the windows in post Sept. 11 cockpit doors being installed on airplanes and Apache helicopter windshields panels; it is today available for Rudy Project Technically Cool Eyewear under a unique and unparalleled lens program: ImpactX™. ImpactX™represents today the most advanced technological solution in the field of vision protection. Thanks to their transparency and superior optical quality, lenses made in NXT¨ ensure sharp vision and unbeatable comfort: they are made by casting, a process which ensures lower internal stress, higher optical homogeneity and mechanical stability compared to traditional Polycarbonate lenses.
ImpactX™lens technology offers breakthrough NXT¨semi-rigid molecular properties formulated exclusively for Rudy Project. After years of laboratory research and field tests with professional athletes, ImpactX™ has been perfected with cutting edge light management technology by combining photochromic particles and advanced polarized technology in the mass, incorporating thus superior impact resistance with enhanced visual acuity, for virtually any climatic condition.
