RideAlive started with the concept of being a summer vacation for us, the Circles staff. And the RAL brand was launched so that we, being the curious and eclectic people we are, could bring to life versatile tools that we can use for everything from our daily lives to our weekend activities.
The main items in the RAL product lineup currently are eyewear and sunglasses. Whether riding a bike, driving a car, or simply going about our active daily lives, sunglasses are an essential item for us to protect our eyes from UV rays and keep our vision clear.
The RAL eyewear collection is a product realized through cooperation with CLT, a company based here in Nagoya that produces original eyewear mainly using domestically-made polarized lenses for fields like cycling and fishing.
One of the models in this lineup is the "activité."

Color: Clear Gray
Lens: Kiwi / Polarization: 99%, Visible Light Transmittance: 29%, UV Protection: 99% or more
With slightly larger lenses to ensure a wide field of view and a lightweight, slim frame, this model is perfect for those who live an active daily life. It uses bright kiwi-colored polarized lenses, which maintain clear, bright vision even on cloudy or rainy days. Additionally, the use of polarized lenses makes it possible to recognize subtle road conditions even in shaded mountainous areas. The unisex frame also fits women well.
By the way, since the frames are made of acetate, anyone can adjust the shape by warming them up with a hairdryer. Another feature of this material is that it does not show aging as much as nylon materials. If the shape changes, you can simply adjust it again to restore the fit as mentioned above.
Although all RAL eyewear models are casual in style, they also match jersey-style cycling gear and are very capable in racing scenarios. Please give them a try.
RAL products are not necessarily specialized for high performance, but we aim to propose items that can be used across as many boundaries as possible. Please look forward to our future developments.
