Ray-Ban New Wayfarer (RB2132)
Yes, they cost more than supermarket shades — but most people who want a classic look and clearer sight will prefer these New Wayfarers' G‑15 glass lenses and proper UV blocking.
These are for anyone who wants a fuss-free, classic pair of sunglasses that actually improves how you see outside: medium-sized wayfarer frames with Ray‑Ban's long-running G‑15 green lenses that prioritise contrast and natural colour. If you commute, drive, or spend weekends outdoors and want reliable eye protection without loud branding, this is the sort of pair you'll reach for daily. ## What makes it worth it The New Wayfarer RB2132 is the modern, slightly smaller take on the original Wayfarer, offered in a 52 mm lens width with a 18 mm bridge and 145 mm temples for a medium fit; those dimensions make it comfortable for most faces and easy to wear all day. The Classic G‑15 green lenses are a genuine benefit: Ray‑Ban's G‑15 filters absorb around 85% of visible light while preserving natural colours and offer 100% UVA/UVB protection, and retail listings for this model commonly use crystal (glass) lenses for superior optical clarity compared with cheap plastic options. The injected-frame construction keeps the silhouette light and durable while preserving the iconic Wayfarer shape. ## Where it falls short Glass lenses add optical quality but also extra weight compared with modern polycarbonate lenses, and the standard G‑15 option on many retailer listings is not always polarised — if you need maximum glare reduction for driving or water sports you should opt for an explicitly polarised variant. The style is timeless but not subtle if you dislike recognisable brand silhouettes. Buy this if you want a medium, wearable Wayfarer with glass G‑15 optics and proper UV protection; skip it if you need ultra-lightweight sport frames or polarised lenses as standard.

You want a classic, medium-fit Wayfarer with very good optical clarity and proper UV protection for everyday outdoor use and driving.
Skip if
You mainly need ultra-light sport sunglasses or polarised lenses for heavy glare (water or snow) because this model's glass G‑15 is heavier and the standard versions aren't always polarised.
