Many cyclists here in Singapore wear spectacles and it may be a hassle to put on contact lens prior to rides for those not comfortable with sticking foreign objects into their eyes. One solution is addition of optical inserts into sports sunglasses if the particular model allows and even so, it may not necessarily be the most aesthetically pleasing or comfortable.
So it begs the question: are there any sports glasses out there which are sporty yet suitable and practical for day-to-day use? That answer might be found in Rudy Projectâs Maya SUF prescription sports sunglasses.
Technologies and fit
Appropriately named, the SUF stands for âSports Utility Frameâ that is laden with proprietary technologies to minimize weight and maximize safety and comfort. The Maya SUFâs Grilamid frame is a high quality thermoplastic material that is shock resistant, lightweight and non-allergenic.

The ultra-light temples are constructed from Kynetium, a revolutionary aerospatial alloy which combines Magnesium, Silicium and Titanium. The easy mount optical insert âNYLORâ system allows for easy switching of lenses depending on the userâs preferences and needs. Â High tech and lightweight materials are just one part of the Maya SUFâs construction â the 360degree adjustable rubber temple tip and adjustable nose piece ensures an optimal fit for the user.
Wide range of colours and lens shapes
With the Maya SUF, it is possible to select from 10 different types of lens based on the userâs own style and field of vision and 15 colour tones to choose from, there can be up to 150 combinations, which means one can create his/her truly unique pair of prescription sports sunglasses.
