In the early 80’s, mountain biking was only just emerging as a sport. The equipment was bad and the clothing was worse. Over just a few years, its popularity grew considerably with a scene developing in Whistler and on Vancouver’s notorious North Shore. By the mid-80’s, the gear was improving and the sport was progressing rapidly. 1986 brought about the first ever Canadian Mountain Bike Championships, with the competition spanning a few days and finishing in Whistler with local boy, Brent Martin, coming out on top. Shortly after being crowned Canadian Champion, Brent founded RYDERS EYEWEAR®. His goal was simple—to provide cyclists of all stripes with high quality, performance-oriented eyewear that they wouldn’t hesitate to use, especially in the most destructive conditions. But it wasn’t just about eyewear and bikes—he was determined to remain actively involved in the cycling and outdoor community, doing what he could to encourage the growth of these sports. For the past 31 years, we have stayed true to Brent’s vision. The reality is that mountain biking, road cycling and endurance mountain sports present the most unique and challenging environments for eyewear. Designing eyewear for golf, baseball or activities that occur in static environments doesn’t force you to meet these challenges. We design, test and produce products to directly solve problems that are encountered in these hostile activities and environments. Our deep roots in the Pacific Northwest are of vital importance to who we are today. Not only are we still headquartered in North Vancouver, but everything we do is influenced by our drive for adventure, our love for providing like-minded people with hard-working gear, and our overwhelming sense of community—both in our backyard and afar.

The perfect fit Whether you’re looking for a pair of shoes or a new a bike, fit is absolutely critical. Performance eyewear is no different. Long-term comfort, fog resistance, helmet compatibility, as well as glare and wind protection are all affected by how well the frame fits your face. There are many aspects of frame design that—when applied properly—are more likely to produce a high-performance product on a wider range of face shapes. This is where 30 years of experience, an in-house design team, and a big crew of product testers spread over a vast range of climates, geographies, and action sports come into play. HOW TO GET A FOG-RESISTANT FIT If you want the ultimate in fog protection, combine a great fitting frame with our critically-acclaimed antiFOG lenses. Fogging is one of the most common issues affecting high-performance eyewear. Fogging problems can be mitigated by choosing glasses that are big enough to allow a significant amount of airflow behind the lens. A pair that fits too close to the face is much more likely to fog than one that fits correctly. In addition to finding the right size, adjustable or interchangeable nose pads are an excellent fog-fighting feature because they allow you to position your eyewear the appropriate distance from your face. HELMET COMPATIBILITY Not everyone who wears RYDERS EYEWEAR® uses them for helmet sports, but if you do wear a helmet, choose a pair of glasses that won’t interfere with straps, retention devices or the helmet itself. Airflow also changes once your helmet is on, so make sure that your glasses have enough breathing room when worn with a helmet. Both airflow and helmet interference problems can be dealt with by using adjustable temple tips because they allow you to angle the frame for ventilation, and can be manually formed to fit around straps, retention devices and helmet edges. LENS COVERAGE Airflow behind the lens is as important as lens coverage if you want top performance from your eyewear. These factors can work against one another so it’s important to find the balance that best meets your needs. Protection from sunlight is just one of the reasons that most cyclists and outdoor athletes choose performance eyewear. Wind, dust, and other environmental hazards are important considerations, so make sure that you choose a lens that is big enough to effectively block all of the elements, and a frame that provides adequate breathing room for a performance fit. 08 CORY WILLIAMS elevate khs pro cycling team 09
Women’s-specific design philosophy One-size-fits-all often doesn’t apply to performance gear. And when it comes to designing for women, ‘shrink it and pink it’ is not our philosophy. Though there are certainly many frames that fit well on both men and women, there are some differences that simply can’t be ignored. Our research revealed that there are few options available for women who prefer a more fashion-oriented look, without compromising on performance. Traditionally, performance frames have featured very technical and often masculine styling that doesn’t appeal to all women. Narrower fits, shorter temple tips and more organically-shaped frames with adjustable components and technical lenses are the characteristics that define the RYDERS® Women’s Collection. SEE PAGES 88–89 FOR THE COMPLETE WOMEN’S COLLECTION THE RYDERS ANTIFOG LENSES ARE A GAME CHANGER! I’VE RACED ON JUST ABOUT EVERY CONTINENT IN ALL TEMPERATURE RANGES AND WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH THEM, AND THEY ARE INCREDIBLE! BEING ABLE TO SEE ON TECHNICAL TRAILS AND NOT WORRYING ABOUT MY GLASSES FOGGING UP HAS HELPED ME WIN RACES. THE PHOTOCHROMIC OPTION IS MY FAVORITE BECAUSE I ONLY NEED TO TAKE ONE PAIR OF GLASSES WITH ME WHEN I TRAVEL! –SONYA LOONEY professional mountain biker 10 11
Until now, most semi-rim sport glasses have been variations on a standard design—a frame across the top of the lens with the bottom edge of the lens exposed. We’ve taken this concept and flipped it on its head. And we haven’t done it just to be different. We recognized that despite the practical applications of traditional semi-rims, there were some obvious opportunities for improvement. FOG RESISTANCE Hot air rises, so the warm, humid air from your face needs to be able to escape over the top of your lens if you want to avoid fogging. A frame can block this airflow, causing the lens to fog. It can even collect moisture that may later drip down the back of the lens. By removing the top of the frame, the humidity can rise and escape without interruption. FIELD OF VISION In many sports we find ourselves looking down through the bottom of our lenses (to pick up a ball for example) so a traditional semi-rim makes sense for these activities. When cycling, however, we often look through the upper half of the lens because of our body position. By removing the top of the frame we expand and improve our field of vision. IMPACT PROTECTION Since the upper frame contributes to fogging and limits our field of vision, why not just remove the frame altogether to produce a conventional rimless shield? Because there’s another hazard associated with fast-forward outdoor activities—crashing. When compared to a frame, the bottom edge of a lens is far more likely to cut your face in the event of a crash. By running the frame along the bottom of the lens, we improve protection while increasing the overall strength and performance of the eyewear. 12 13

COMPOSITE COLLECTION A stylish fusion of high-tech materials with a nod to the past. Those of us who have been riding MTB since the early days certainly remember the innovations that pushed our sport to the next level. We’re not talking about eliminating chainrings and widening our bars. We’re talking about products that absolutely changed the way we rode the trails—ones that reshaped our ideas of what was possible on a bike.

Grilamid TR90 The best material on the planet for sports eyewear. Grilamid® TR90 is without question the ideal frame material for sports eyewear. It’s highly flexible, ultra-durable and extremely lightweight, making our frames very accommodating, comfortable, safe, and long-lasting. It’s like all of the positive attributes of a yogi, a tank, and your grandma packed into one incredible material. ULTRA-FLEXIBLE The flexibility of our TR90 frames is a big reason why they’re so comfortable, durable, and safe—ideal for almost any athletic endeavour. ULTRA-DURABLE TR90’s durability is a by-product of its flexibility. A highly flexible frame is less likely to break under stress or impact than a more rigid frame. ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT Fewer grams on your face can make a big difference in comfort, especially when wearing your eyewear for long periods of time. HYDROPHILIC COMPONENTS All of our TR90 frames have hydrophilic nose pads and our most technical designs have hydrophilic temple pads. The material we use is so effective that it actually grips better when it’s wet. ADJUSTABLE COMPONENTS Adjustable nose pads and temple tips allow you to customize the fit of your glasses for comfort and stability. These components are also used for fine-tuning the amount of airflow behind the lens, keeping your face cool and combating fogging. 74 ALEX HOEHN elevate khs pro cycling team 75

veloPOLAR™ The benefits of polarized lenses, fine-tuned for road cyclists. FIGHTS GLARE Some otherwise wonderful things simply don’t go well together. Toothpaste and orange juice. Alcohol and Social Media. Rooftop swimming pools and fast-approaching thunderstorms. ENHANCES DEFINITION For many, polarized lenses and road cycling should not be mixed. This seems strange considering that polarized lenses offer all sorts of good, glare-fighting comfort, defined RESISTS FOGGING details, and increased depth perception—benefits that road cyclists should want. So why do so many cyclists insist that polarized lenses aren’t for them? fine-tuned for road cyclists Three reasons: normal polarized lenses can hide slippery surfaces; produce undesirable optical anomalies that alter depth perception on features like sewer covers, windshields, and road patches; and blackout LCD screens. The reality is that glare isn’t all bad, as it’s often indicative of smooth or wet surfaces—spots that should be avoided by cyclists who dislike road rash. The problem comes when there’s so much glare that it actually hides important details of the surface. The veloPOLAR™ lens is fine-tuned to give road cyclists all the benefits of a polarized lens, without the compromises, allowing it to filter out the blinding part of the glare without hiding a slippery surface or blacking out an LCD screen. It minimizes optical anomalies and, with the help of RYDERS® antiFOG and hydrophobic coatings, creates a remarkable lens that gives you extraordinary vision throughout your ride. 46% VLT* 10%/ 27% VLT* Though we originally developed the veloPOLAR™ lens for road cycling, it has proven to be equally beneficial for many other activities in a vast array of environments.
