The Desafio Español team sets its sights on the semi-final of the America's Cup

Yesterday, Tuesday 3 April, marked the start of the final Act of the Louis Vuitton Cup, which will also see the participation of the Desafío Español team, whose official supplier is Rudy Project. After the important victories in the competitions of the Louis Vuitton Acts, the Spanish team once again confirms its success choosing top-of-the-range Rudy Project eyewear.

Rudy Project has developed eyewear with special ImpactX photocromic polarized lenses for the Spanish team, which is on its fourth challenge of the America's Cup, after the Louis Vuitton Cups in 1992, 1995 and 1999.

The photochromic lenses allow light to be controlled during the day, and change color automatically depending on the light intensity. Whereas the polarization eliminates bothersome glare caused by reflections from the water, preventing eye fatigue and increasing the contrast and perception of depth. At the same time, the special polarization formula studied by Rudy Project's research and development division allows easy reading of the instruments on board.

These highly technological lenses use NXT®, a clear and unbreakable patented material that guarantees a high level of protection, reliability and performance, and lasts longer than polycarbonate.
