IMPACTX: RUDY PROJECT REVEALS CUTTING EDGE LENS TECHNOLOGY : THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTION IN THE FIELD OF VISION PROTECTION GUARANTEED UNBREAKABLE FOR LIFE

WHAT IS Z87+ WHAT IS WHAT IS

ANSI Z87.1 is the American National Standard that covers the basic requirements for personal eye and face protective devices to minimize or prevent injuries from impacts, non-ionizing radiation and chemical agents in occupational, educational and military environments.This Standard sets criteria related to the description, general requirements, testing, marking, selection, care and use of these protectors. The Rudy Project TACTICAL series including Sentinel™, Exception™, Perception™, Rydon™, Ekynox SX™, Ekynox™, Ekynox™ Mask, Klonyx™ V1,Guardyan™ and Kalybro™meet or exceed all the optical, mechanical and other requirements prescribed by ANSI Z87.1 and exceed also the additional “+” requirement of Penetration (1.56 oz – 44.2 gm / 50 in – 127 cm) High Mass Impact (17.6 oz – 500 gr / 50 in – 127 cm) and High Velocity Impact (150 ft/s – 46 m/s) resistance. - Z87+ Lab Test for Impact resistance - NXT® was first developed for military use to meet a specific need: provide a bulletproof material that is transparent, light, durable and capable of offering the maximum protection.
BALLISTIC is a special requirement added to all what prescribed by ANSI Z87.1 for certifying the ballistic resistance of eye and face Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) against small arms projectiles and fragments.The reference Standards approved by all departments and agencies of the US Department of Defense - all over the world agreed and accepted - for testing spectacles and goggles are MIL-PRF-31013 (paragraph 3.5.1.1 / V0 Ballistics 0.15 caliber-T37, 640 to 660 ft/s) and MIL-V-43511 (paragraph 3.5.10 / V0 ballistics 0.22 caliber-T37, 550 to 560 ft/s). The Rudy Project TACTICAL series including Ekynox SX™, Guardyan™, Kalybro™and Klonyx™ V1 are BALLISTIC APPROVED. 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.
