Classic Ray Bans with a great twist

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2009

RB2140P: These are the Ray Bans that I remember my dad wearing growing up. However, these are even better, because they have polarized lenses. The lenses are amazing, they make a huge difference and I cannot imagine ever going back to non-polarized lenses. This is the best price I found on these sunglasses and I searched high and low, even factoring in [...] specials.

I don't have much to say about the shape, they are the classic Ray-Bans, not the "new" shape (RB2132) that you see most celebrities wearing. The lens slants back towards your face, they are not perpendicular to your face. I happened to like the originals, but I know that most prefer the newer lens, so keep this in mind when ordering. However, at this time Ray Ban does not make the new style with the polarized lens.

Polarized lenses reduce the glare off surfaces and reduce my need to squint, which I love because who wants wrinkles around their eyes? I make everyone try on my sunglasses so they can experience the polarized lens and now all family and friends have been converted. If you live in a place that you need to wear sunglasses throughout the year, this is a great investment!

It's not the name on the side, it's the quality of the product.

I ordered these Ray-Ban classic wayfarer RB2140 size 50mm in tortoise with green polarized lens (902/58 for those into model numbers). This is my third pair of RayBans this year. I chose the green polarized lens instead of the tortoise/brown lens because my experience with the green lens has been that they give you a true representation of color. In fact, colors tend to pop through the green lens--the sky looks deeper blue, the grass looks greener, cars look brighter. I haven't noticed any color distortion with them.

The good: The tortoise is so dark it looks black unless you're in direct light. The lenses are unbelievably clear. The fit is tight and the build is solid.

I have owned polarized lenses before and I was worried about using my cell phone while wearing these glasses. With my iPhone 4s, I can barely tell any difference between my polarized and non-polarized Ray-Bans. In fact, I can use my laptop and watch my LCD TV with the glasses on. I also don't notice as much fuzziness on the windows of parked cars as I have with cheaper polarized glasses I've owned in the past.

The frames are very thick compared to more modern styles of sunglasses but that doesn't interfere with vision.

The bad: THREE Ray-Ban logos, although the logos on the earpiece are somewhat small and tend to blend in on the tortoise color. The logo printed on the lens itself, however, tarnishes the look IMO.

When driving in late afternoon / early evening, I get lots of light coming in from the side. There's no wrap with Wayfarers.

These do not fit me nearly as well as the RB2132 "New Wayfarer" glasses that I own. However, these glasses can be easily adjusted by an optician or by a glasses shop. A lot of people complain that these glasses are too tight compared to the RB2132, but the temples can be bowed and shaped so keep this in mind. In fact, while taking a pair of Persols to an optician to be adjusted, she adjusted my RB2140 Wayfarer glasses WITHOUT using the hotbox, just by making a couple of very slight, strategic bends in the earpieces. While I wouldn't recommend doing that, she's obviously sold and worked with Ray-Bans enough that she knew what she was doing. I felt a lot less pressure from the fit after she made those adjustments, without the glasses sliding any more than normal.

The problem with the fit, for me, is the slant at which the glasses sit. The bottoms of the frames ride on my cheeks and the glasses slide quite a bit on my face when I talk and especially when I laugh. I'm planning to buy some stick-on nose pads to try and help this problem.

Overall, I'm quite pleased with these glasses and I've been wearing them every time I go out ever since they arrived. I purchased them mainly for driving a collector car with a painted dash and lots of chrome, and while I haven't had the opportunity to test them out in this capacity yet, I believe the slanted angle at which they sit will actually be perfect for blocking out the glints and glare from the dash on sunny days. Plus they have that vintage '50s / '60s look that match the car perfectly.

If you're reading this and trying to chose between the RB2140 and the RB2132, maybe this will help.

I have a pair of 55mm RB2132 and they are bar-none the most comfortable glasses I've ever owned. They have a classic look but they are also rounded at the bottom and, except for the chrome rivets on the temple, look almost nothing like the traditional wayfarer when placed side by side. The RB2132 earpieces curve outward and don't touch my temples at all until close to my ear, and most of the pressure is placed behind my ears to hold the glasses securely in place. In fact, the glasses feel like they snap on my head. I have issues with chronic headaches and I can wear the RB2132 all day without having any pain from pressure. I can even wear the RB2132 while having a bad headache and they help relieve the pain. They don't slide off and they never needed any form of adjustment to fit. The lenses sit far from my eyes and I have never had issues with my eyelashes scraping the lenses.

The 50 mm RB2140 are basically the same size as my 55mm RB2132, but they have a more masculine, square shape. The earpieces don't have nearly as much curve and they press into my face at the temples, even after adjustment. This is not uncomfortable, but it isn't as comfortable as the RB2132. They also sit closer to the face, and I have had times when my eyelashes smeared the lenses to the point I had to clean them, even though I couldn't feel my eyelashes touching them. That problem seems to have gone away as I've gotten the glasses broken in.

Personally, I prefer the fit of the RB2132 and the look of the RB2140. If I could only have one pair, I'd go with the RB2132 simply for the extreme comfort. If that vintage look is important to you, then go with the RB2140 and get them adjusted to best fit your face.

Great Sunglasses, Slow Service

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2011

I tried this sunglasses before buying them and they were really awesome. The polarizer help so much from the glare and the frame fits perfectly on my face. The quality is excellent hand made from Italy. The problems I had with this sunglasses is that they leave red marks on my nose after i wear them because they create it tight so the glasses doesn't fall off your face. In addition, the delivery took about over a week so I wasn't too happy about that. Overall, for the price of this ray ban, you can't go wrong. This is the lowest price you will find.

I purchased the RB 2140, 50mm lens but received the 54mm lens. Box marked correctly however. Tried contacting the seller and have heard zip! Next step, get a credit from my credit card company until the seller responds.

The Style of Sunglasses Worn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and in "Cocktails"

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2010

Having owned a pair of Ray Ban 2132 "New Wayfarers" in tortoise shell color and now a pair the Ray Ban 2140 "Original Wayfarers" in black color, I now know why the latter are the better pair.

With the New Wayfarers, they feel as if they are made of cheap plastic. Everytime I open them up to put on my face, the plastic makes a squeeking noise. But with the 2140 Original Wayfarers, they feel heavy when in your hands and the material used is of good, sturdy quality.

The lens are much larger compared to the 2132 New Wayfarers. However, the downside is that my pair of 2132 New Wayfarers fit better on my face since they are in 55mm size. The 2140 Original Wayfarers seem a bit snug on my face, probably due to the size of 54mm.

If one is looking for a nostalgic and the ultimate fashion statement of 1950s eye wear, then look no further. They've been seen on the famous faces of JFK, Tom Cruise, and Audrey Hepburn. The 2140 Original Wayfarers are not trendy as they will never go out of style.

These sunglasses are perfect for mending a day-time hangover after a night of drinking. If you are a battered house wife with a swolen eye, then these sunglasses are going to hide what your hubby is doing to you. If you want to look incognito or in disguise, these cover one's face quite well. They are perfect for wearing on the beach or boating too.
