[@JonathanMoosey]

The whole point of the Wayfarer design is because of the tilt. I just purchased a polarized pair of the original 2140 Wayfarer and I love the panascopic tilt and the durability of them.

[@watchmanexpert]

Jonathan Moosey R you happy with the 2140 ? Is uncomfortable the panascopic tilt ?

[@amelancer]

I don’t like the tilt, it always touches your cheekbones, it doesn’t protect your eyes from upper light. I guess it depends on each face shape, but honestly I prefer regular flat sunglasses.

[@kevindlv]

Honestly I think the issue is that they don't fit many faces. They look weird if they touch your cheekbones, and especially if you have a flatter face then they seem to really stick out of your face which looks pretty weird. So I feel like petite/angular faces only work, all other faces don't fit right.

[@suthinanahkist2521]

Johnny Knoxville from Jackass wears wayfarers, Billy Joel wore wayfarers Roy Orbison wore glasses quite similar to wayfarers . Wayfarers are the glasses worn by Garth in Wayne's World, etc. So it's an extremely popular style among celebrities. It's easy to see why wayfarers glasses are so popular!

Personally I love the original wayfarers 2140 54mm the tilt looks amazing, and personally the new wayfarers I don’t like them.. the design and shape is awful.. the original is where it’s at 🥰

[@MrJeepmarine]

I'm glad to read your comment, I just ordered a pair of the classic tilt wayfarers. I got my prescription done and tried on the two frames. I was amazed that I had not known of the design differences. For years I'd always had generic or knock off ones. I had never tried the originals, I figured I couldn't afford them. I went with the real deal. I hope I like the tilt it's a little different but I think it's a cool look.

[@MoSec9]

Everybody talks about head size but never mention nose bridge which is just as important for fitting sunglasses. I guess most people have a narrow bridge. My wide bridge is what kept me away from the Wayfarer all this time. I still hope to find one that fits some day...just can’t order online

[@sportrxeyewear]

That is a good point pstcontrl! I will make sure to speak with Sunglass Rob and see if we can start mentioning that in the review videos. If you ever need advice on sunglasses our opticians will be happy to help. We understand the challenges of finding the perfect sunglasses online.

The reason it touches his cheeks is because the temple pieces are too short. If Ray-Ban extended the temple piece to actually fit around his ears it would be a great fit. The pronounced angel would be a cool feature but not so much so that it rests on his cheeks.

Tilt is why I buy them. Instead of buying imitations. 😎

[@mattsaul6187]

How come my replacement temples are more straight and the ones that came with them have more of an arch that wrap around my ear? I had broke one of my temples. I have the rb2132 bi color. Blue outside and purple inside. The frame is black. I feel like I have franken-bans! Any help would be great!

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi Matt! It's tough to say why the replacement temples aren't the same as the original. I would recommend reaching out to the retailer you purchased from and see if they can provide an explanation. Sorry to not have more info for you!

[@arnaldorodrigues5556]

Hey guys, thanks for the video. I checked the website and noticed another difference between the three models, related to the material. The 2140 is made of acetate, the 2132 is made of nylon and the 4340 is made of propionate. I don't know much about this subject and about the reason for these material changes, so I ask you if it makes any difference in the quality, fit or durability of the products.

[@MARTPERE]

The nylon is lighter thr acetate is heavy

[@silverforever15]

The original 54mm look realy good

[@Solaar_Punk]

They also renamed them wayfare?

[@sportrxeyewear]

The Wayfarer name remains the same, but there are many different variations and sizes offered that incorporate the same basic style elements. 👉www.sportrx.com/search/?q=wayfarer

TILT TILT TILT! Can someone please help me? The 50mm are too big and slide off my face. The 47mm are discontinued and impossible to find. All thats left are the asian and the junior and they both seem like they have no tilt. Is the tilt just not possible to wear on some faces? I have a low bridge :( Oh the shame

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hey Tia! Below you'll see one example of a frame with Pantoscopic tilt from Raen called the Huxton! While it's slightly bigger than that of the size 50 original wayfarers, the temples are more adjustable allowing a more secure fit when you bend the back 3rd further down and behind the ear. Any local optician can help with this adjustment. Hope this helps! www.sportrx.com/raen-huxton.html

[@reaganmackay5179]

Please explain how to read the serial.no.?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Greetings! For example: RB 3025 (model number) 004/58 (product code) 58 (lens width) 14 (bridge width) 135 (temple length) Hope this helps!

[@TheCarloslinares]

If 52mm is small for medium head size on the new wayfarer, how the 4340 are going to fit with 50mm for medium head sizes ?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello Carlos! Although the lens width is slightly smaller, the frame width is 3mm larger which makes it more compatible with a medium head. Thanks for reaching out!

[@patrickclark3337]

Why do you think the 52mm are too small for his face? I thought they were on point and the 55mm made him look like a bug more. I have and wear the 52mm because I think I have a narrow face but according to the chart I wear a 7 ¼ hat size so I should wear the 55mm. That's according to the chart from Ray-Ban but I prefer the smaller 52mm. That's the reason I'm hesitant on getting the original wayfarer because of their larger size and the 47mm are hard to find and I think they are considered child's size so I'd have to go with the 50mm. I just might do it though.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Thank you for your input! You are absolutely correct. There is no exact science to determining the best frame size for someone remotely. We have good methods that work most of the time, though. That is why we offer our Test Ride Program (www.sportrx.com/test-ride-program) to give you a bit more confidence in your order before you commit to a prescription order. Make sure to take advantage of that if you order from us!

Hello Daniel! The size indicates the lens width so the lenses of the 50 eyesize would be 8mm slimmer. If the 58 eyesize fit you well then the 50 eyesize may be a bit small.
