Product Description
The Original Wayfarer from Ray- Ban is the most recognizable style in sunwear. They have a distinct shape that is paired with the Ray-Ban signature logo on the temples. The Wayfarer comes in a variety of colors allowing you to express your own style and personality. Classically framed and completely iconic, this updated version has a softer eye shape and polished logo plaques at each of the sculpted temples, both of which add even more appeal to an already timeless style. The G-15 XLT lens reduces eyestrain and squinting. It also transmits all colors equally, retaining their true values, making the G-15 a natural vision lens. . Model Year: 2010, Product ID: 206222, Frame Shape: Shield, Frame Material: Plastic, Polarized: No

Wayfarers RB2140 July 24, 2008

I was going to order these online, but I decided to go to a sunglasses store in my area to make sure I was buying the right one, because wayfarers seem to have "small" differences that can amount to a lot. I ended up buying them in the store because the saleslady helped me out a lot, these things are sold on a commission basis, and she deserved it.
I got the Wayfarers in black with green lenses in the official description of: 901-5022 Ray-Ban RB2140. These are the 50 mm lenses, and they actually fit my face really well. I tried on the 54mm lenses, and while you look at them on the displays, the difference between the small and the large isn't really noticeable...but when you try them on, it's obvious, at least for my face. I have a wide, round face so I really was expecting to not be happy with any wayfarers. I don't know if these are the polarized ones, but I'm pretty sure if they are, I would've been told about it. See Brock Lander's excellent review (I think it's featured on the page for RB2113) which helped me immensely in realizing the different kinds of wayfarers. The large ones (54mm) lean a bit too much for me and my cheekbones get in the way. These are the ones I think of when I hear "wayfarer." Luckily, the smaller ones (50mm) have the same look and they don't overwhelm my face.
I was told that Wayfarers are supposed to "lean" slightly on your face, and with mine, the lean doesn't look as stupid as I thought it would on me. I tried the other colors on and while they would look great on other people, I don't have the face to pull them off. Even though these are made of plastic, they seem very sturdy and I found out that Ray-Ban's Wayfarers were one of the first sunglasses to use plastics instead of the usual metal.
To conclude my review, I highly recommend these. Even if you thought you couldn't pull it off, like me, go to your local sunglass store. The official Ray-Ban website has a store locator. Try as many styles as you can, they kind of look the same (at least to me) just sitting there in the case or display but they look so different on you. Thanks for reading my review and I hope this helped!
The original style, recently renewed, still the best October 24, 2008

Ray-Ban recently came to their senses and addressed some of the quality issues that had crept into the Wayfarer line over the years. The result was a renewal of the line, with a significant pick-up in quality. The pair I recently purchased is the equal - or better - of the pair I purchased decades ago. Wayfarers have superb, distortion-free lenses, bulletproof hinges, and the plastic frame will hold up through years of regular use.
Be careful when purchasing Wayfarers. There are a lot of style and size variations in the line, and there are a lot of off-brand knockoffs and fakes, too. These are real, and the original style that people have in mind when talking about Wayfarers.
Like many classic accessories, Wayfarers come in and go out of style periodically. The nice thing about owning a top-quality classic, though, is that if you take care of it, you can put it away for a few years when it's out of fashion, and it will have been worth the storage when you unearth it again.
My own use is more mundane than fashion, however. I've found that Wayfarers, unlike all the wrap-around sunglass types, work better for me for motorcycle use than anything else, plus they fold and store flat.
Highly recommended.

Not only is the look classic, they are pretty close to being indestructable as well. I got hit full in the face with a spike playing volleyball. There was no damage to my wayfarers (but my nose sure hurt!). If you wear prescription lenses, an optician can put them in these frames as well. Highly recommended.
ORIGINAL WAYFARER White on Black RB 2140 original June 23, 2010
Viacheslav Belchenko (Athens, Greece.)
The only Ray Ban glasses, the way it was ment to be. Can be a Brand's "visit card".
The Only Ray Ban model, without any compromise.
Incredible glasses, and worth every penny! August 31, 2010
Drew (Springfield, IL)
I've always loved the Wayfarer style. It's really the only thing that "works" for me. I can sort of pull off Aviators and Clubmasters, but the Wayfarers are what look perfect on me (or really anyone, for that matter; they're not too hard to pull off). So, obviously, I would scour every store I could to find a cheap pair of glasses with a nice Wayfarer style. I payed $20 for two of them. One broke after a few months, and the other lasted (surprisingly) two years. Regardless, each pair finally crapped out on me with the lens falling out. I decided, at that point, to look into why expensive glasses should really be so expensive.
I always wanted Ray-Ban glasses, but I always thought the price was too outrageous to consider them. When my two cheap pairs broke, and I discovered a pair of my dad's old Ray-Bans still kicking after well over 20 years, I thought that there had to be something to their price tag. I immediately went to my local Sunglass Hut and tried them on, and I was convinced at that point. I immediately came home and ordered a black polarized pair on the spot. Five days later, I had my glasses.
This is the 2140 pair, however. The difference being that the 2132 is the "New" Wayfarer style, which is more rectangular and streamlined. Because of this, the 2132's feel lighter and almost flimsier, and the look of them just isn't for me. Keep in mind that I don't think the 2132's will break easily. It was just my opinion that, compared to the 2140's, they didn't have as heavy duty of a feel to them. The 2140's, the minute you hold them, feel like they're built like a tank. Some might not like this, but that helped me decide to buy those. Along with that, they have a much more squared look to them, and they tilt into your face, while the 2132's are straight.
My glasses came in a brown leather case, which I found odd, as I had seen tons of videos of people with black cases with black sunglasses, and brown ones with the tortoise shell style. Maybe they're random, or maybe it was just a mix-up (don't worry, the glasses are real, they have the etching and everything). Open it up, and inside is booklets with Ray-Ban's styles and their impact, along with a microfiber cleaning cloth. They had a tiny bit of scruff on one arm, which I found odd. There were what looked like tiny scratches on one small part of it, which is sort of a bummer, but it's not like it's in a noticeable place, nor is it deal-breaking in any way.
When you wear the glasses, however, is when you really see why you spent the money you did. People think cheapo glasses cover their eyes just fine, and to an extent, it's true. If glasses say they'll cover a good amount of UV rays, they'll cover that amount--normally the same amount as the expensive glasses. There are problems, however. One, they normally distort colors, and two, they don't protect from glare, which still causes the eye to have to squint to keep light out. My pair is polarized, which obviously helps reduce a ton of glare, so I can't speak for regular sunglasses, but the minute you put them on, you're amazed at how much detail they bring out. Even more amazing is that, even when the sun is blaring in your eyes, you still don't have to squint nearly at all. The glasses just do so much more than you could ever think they would. I recommend even more for you to get polarized lenses. They're a bit more pricey, and you'll find your (presumably) LCD phone screen to look very weird while you wear the glasses, and if you're a photographer, your polarized lenses won't react well to your glasses (but why would you wear glasses when you look through the viewfinder, anyways?), but otherwise, it's worth all the money to get them.
Overall, Ray-Bans are worth every cent you pay, and are incredibly durable. They'll hold up through the years while still looking fashionable. I can't say the same for those one-lens glasses and giant lens ones that seem to be all the rage nowadays...
