Classic Never Goes Out of Style: Ray-Ban Wayfarer In-depth Review
Product basic information
Appearance design
Since its introduction in 1952, the Ray-Ban Wayfarer has been an iconic item in the fashion world. The RB2140 we received uses a classic black acetate frame with G-15 green lenses, which is full of retro feeling.
The frame lines are tough, and the design of wide front and narrow back can well modify the face shape, especially suitable for round and square face wearers. The metal Ray-Ban logo at the end of the temples is low-key and exquisite, highlighting the brand identity.
Wearing experience
Weight: 28 grams - in the same category of products belong to the medium to light level, long-term wear without pressure.
Nose pads: adopt a fixed design, although not adjustable, but the curvature fits most Asian noses and is not easy to slip.
Temples: the ends are slightly adducted, the clamping force is moderate, and they will not fall off when running or turning the head quickly.
Suitable for face shapes: round face (can increase the sense of facial lines), square face (soften the mandibular angle), heart-shaped face (balance the width of the forehead). It is recommended to choose a slightly wider style for long faces.
Function test
Ultraviolet protection: tested by professional instruments, UV400 protection meets the standard, and can 100% block UVA and UVB rays.
Lens transmittance: G-15 lens transmittance is about 15%, suitable for strong light environment, natural color reproduction, no color cast.
Scratch resistance: glass lenses have high hardness and are not easy to scratch in daily use, but they are more fragile than resin lenses when accidentally dropped.
Applicable scenarios: daily commuting, driving, outdoor activities, fashion matching - almost all-round.

User reviews
I have bought it for three years, and it is still my favorite pair of sunglasses! I wear it for commuting to work and for weekend outings. My colleagues and friends are tired of asking for the link. The quality is really nothing to say.
The appearance is really high, but friends with low nose bridges may find it easy to slip. I added a non-slip cover to solve it perfectly. Overall very satisfied!
