Rudy Project's two-decade mainstay in the narrower Slim fit, with ImpactX photochromic lenses that darken and clear on their own — impact-resistant, full UV protection, adjustable nosepiece, no lens swap to forget. Rishon LeZion first: a well struck in 1883 and a tower built over it in case.
Rudy Project Rydon Slim ImpactX Photochromic Sunglasses: Please stay together, because this well is exactly where water was struck on 23 February 1883, which basically decided the town would survive, and I’d rather not test our own survival skills today. Also, if anyone hears thunder, I have already identified three exits and one emotionally supportive bench.
Rudy Project Rydon Slim ImpactX Photochromic Sunglasses: That 1898 water tower stood over the well, which is reassuring in a civic-infrastructure way and alarming in a tall-object-over-my-head way. History is wonderful; gravity remains a concern.
Rudy Project Rydon Slim ImpactX Photochromic Sunglasses: The Great Synagogue was built between 1885 and 1889 as the centre of village life, so yes, this is where everyone gathered, and no, that does not mean we should all scatter now. I’m counting heads anyway, because heritage deserves attendance.
Rudy Project Rydon Slim ImpactX Photochromic Sunglasses: Carmel winery was founded in 1886 under Baron Rothschild, with cellars cut below the street, which sounds delightfully cool and only mildly like a place where I could lose the group forever. If we go downstairs, pair up and remember your buddy’s hat.
Right, before we go anywhere — has everyone got these on properly? Because the thing that worries me about sunglasses is not the sun, it is the swap. You start at nine, the light is flat, you put a dark lens on and you cannot see the ball in the shade. You start under cloud, you leave them in the bag, and by eleven you are squinting into a serve. That is how people get hit.
Which is why this pair exists and why I am, unusually, calm about it. ImpactX Photochromic lenses change tint by themselves as the light changes — darker in glare, clear again when it goes — so there is no swap to forget and no second pair to lose.
And they are impact-resistant, which is the part I actually care about, because the failure I worry about with eyewear is not glare, it is something hard arriving at speed. The Rydon has been Rudy Project's mainstay for two decades: full UVA and UVB protection, a fully adjustable nosepiece, grippy temple tips, and interchangeable lenses if you ever do want to change.
Slim is the narrower version of that frame, cut for a smaller face, which matters more than people admit — a frame that is too wide slides down every time you look up at a lob, and then you are not looking at the lob.
They dug, and on 23 February 1883 they struck water, and that single well decided the place would live at all. Then they built a water tower over it in 1898, because having found water once, you do not simply hope.
Rishon LeZion is, if you think about it, a town founded by people planning for the worst.
There is a synagogue from the 1880s that became the centre of everything, and a winery from 1886 with its cellars cut in below the street, out of the heat, where nothing can go wrong.
No lens to swap, nothing to forget in the car. That is one whole worry, gone.
