Apparel reviews of Ray-Ban RB2140 Original Wayfarer Sunglasses
Customer Review: Incredible glasses, and worth every penny!
Rating: 5 Stars
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...
