Ray-Ban Drifter 0360S vs. New Wayfarer 2132 vs. Justin 4165
Choosing between Ray-Ban's modern square frames comes down to your style preference, fit, and budget. The Drifter 0360S sits between the iconic New Wayfarer and the casual Justin, offering a clean contemporary look with premium propionate construction.
The New Wayfarer 2132 is the most affordable option, starting at $117.56. It carries the weight of Ray-Ban's heritage with a slightly more streamlined profile than the original Wayfarer. The acetate construction is durable and available in countless colors, but it's a bit heavier than the Drifter's propionate. If you want a recognizable classic with a modern twist, the New Wayfarer delivers.
The Justin 4165 starts at just $98.00 and offers a larger 54mm lens with a rubberized frame finish for better grip. It's the most casual of the three, with a laid-back vibe that works well for everyday wear. However, the rubber coating can show wear over time, and the style leans more sporty than sophisticated.
The Drifter 0360S stands out with its modern square geometry and lightweight propionate construction. At $148.53–$255.00, it's priced between the other two but offers unique gradient lens options and a cleaner, more architectural aesthetic. The propionate material is hypoallergenic and resistant to humidity and chemicals, making it ideal for active lifestyles. If you want a contemporary square frame that feels fresh and versatile, the Drifter is your best bet.
All three models are prescription-ready and offer 100% UV protection. Your choice depends on whether you prioritize heritage (New Wayfarer), affordability and casual style (Justin), or modern design and premium materials (Drifter).
