Ray-Ban Aviator RB3025 vs Ray-Ban New Wayfarer Classic
Pick the Aviator RB3025 for a classic metal pilot look, glass lenses and a fit that suits most faces. Pick the New Wayfarer for a lighter nylon frame, a squarer shape and a smaller lens that sits closer to the eye. Both are genuine Ray-Ban with UV400 protection and a solid reputation for build; the Aviator has the longer track record and far more owner feedback, while the Wayfarer adds a 2-year limited warranty.
- Choose the Ray-Ban Aviator RB3025 if you want the iconic teardrop metal frame, glass lenses and a fit that flatters almost any face shape.
- Choose the Ray-Ban New Wayfarer if you prefer a lighter plastic frame, a squarer silhouette and a smaller lens that stays put on narrower faces.
