Rudy Project and Abu Dhabi Team together at the Volvo Ocean Race 2011

The partnership agreement has been signed under which Rudy Project and Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing Team will be battling together to win the Volvo Ocean Race, which starts next 29 October in Alicante.For this very tough, extreme race, the team led by skipper Ian Walker has decided on the quality and technology of Rudy Project glasses. From Spain to Scotland, passing through Cape Town, Abu Dhabi, Sanya, Auckland, Itajai, Miami, Lisbon and Lorient, the Abu Dhabi team will sail over 39,000 nautical miles, with some extremely tough trials, testing weather conditions and the physical and psychological pressures of former times. For best results nowadays, technology plays a crucial role. Under extreme conditions, quality of the athlete's vision can also be key. Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing Team has opted for the all-new Genetyk Hydrosailing^TM glasses, characterized by stainless steel screws and fittings and the all-new Polar3Fx Hydrotek polarized hydrophobic lenses which are specially treated to make water slides off from their outer surface. These wave-proof glasses make sure you always have perfect visibility, total protection from glare and maximum adherence to the face, even during storms or high waves. For the most extreme situations, Rudy Project also offers Klonyx goggles, which protect against collisions, jolts, waves ... and everything else that nature decides to throw at these intrepid heroes of the sea.
