The Ray-Ban Erik 4398 sunglasses bring a bold, modern take on square frames. Built from durable propionate with thick, defined lines, the Erik updates the classic square silhouette with a more substantial presence and contemporary edge. The full-rim construction wraps completely around the lenses for maximum stability and a confident look that works equally well on men and women.
These unisex sunglasses feature a pronounced square shape that flatters a variety of face types, particularly those with round or oval features. The 51mm and 53mm lens widths offer versatile sizing, while the 20mm bridge and molded nose pieces ensure a secure, comfortable fit throughout the day. Propionate construction keeps the frames lightweight despite their bold appearance, and the material's natural flexibility means they adapt gently to your face without pressure points.
The Erik is prescription-ready, making it a practical choice if you need vision correction but don't want to compromise on style. Available in multiple color combinations—from classic black with green lenses to tortoise havana and translucent grey with gradient lenses—the RB4398 adapts to your personal aesthetic. Some variants include polarized lenses that cut glare for driving and outdoor activities, while gradient options transition smoothly from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom.
The silver Ray-Ban signature logo sits cleanly on each temple, and the iconic brand detailing at the hinges reinforces the authentic heritage. These sunglasses deliver 100% UV protection to shield your eyes from harmful rays, whether you're commuting, traveling, or spending the day outside. The Erik's versatile square shape and range of finishes make it an easy everyday pair that transitions from casual weekends to smart-casual work environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Ray-Ban Erik 4398 sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Ray-Ban Erik RB4398 is fully compatible with prescription lenses, including single vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The full-rim propionate frame provides the structure needed to securely hold prescription lenses, making these a versatile option if you need vision correction without sacrificing the iconic Ray-Ban aesthetic.
What is the difference between Ray-Ban Erik and New Wayfarer?
The Erik RB4398 features a bolder, more substantial square shape with thicker frame lines and propionate construction, while the New Wayfarer RB2132 has a more streamlined, lighter profile with softer rectangular lenses. The Erik offers a more contemporary, pronounced look, whereas the New Wayfarer maintains a slimmer, classic silhouette.
What face shapes work best with Ray-Ban Erik sunglasses?
The Erik's square shape works particularly well for round and oval face shapes, as the angular lines add definition and balance softer facial features. The pronounced geometric structure and well-balanced proportions also suit heart-shaped faces. The unisex design and two size options (51mm and 53mm) accommodate a wide range of face widths.
What material are Ray-Ban Erik 4398 frames made from?
The Erik RB4398 frames are made from propionate, a high-quality plastic material known for its durability, impact resistance, and lightweight comfort. Propionate is flexible enough to adapt to your face shape without exerting pressure, yet strong enough to maintain its structure over time. This makes the Erik suitable for all-day wear.
Do Ray-Ban Erik sunglasses come with UV protection?
Yes, all Ray-Ban Erik RB4398 sunglasses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection to shield your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays. Select variants also feature polarized lenses that eliminate glare from reflective surfaces, making them ideal for driving, water activities, and bright outdoor conditions.
What is the bridge width and temple length of the Erik 4398?
The Ray-Ban Erik RB4398 has a 20mm bridge width and temple lengths of either 140mm (for the 51mm lens size) or 145mm (for the 53mm lens size). The molded nose pieces and pronounced nose bridge design provide a snug, secure fit that prevents slipping during movement or outdoor activities.

Ray-Ban Erik 4398 vs New Wayfarer vs Justin: Which Square Frame Is Right for You?
If you're drawn to Ray-Ban's square and rectangular frames, the Erik RB4398 sits in an interesting middle ground between the classic New Wayfarer and the bold, contemporary Justin. Here's how they compare.
Erik 4398: Bold Modern Square
The Erik brings a more substantial, pronounced square shape with thick frame lines and polished propionate construction. It's a bold revision of classic square styling—more assertive than the New Wayfarer but more refined than the Justin. The Erik works well if you want a frame with presence that still feels versatile enough for both casual and smart-casual settings. At 51mm and 53mm, it offers a medium coverage that suits most face sizes, and the prescription-ready design makes it practical for everyday wear.
New Wayfarer 2132: Streamlined Classic
The New Wayfarer is lighter and more streamlined, with a softer rectangular lens shape and shallower lens height. Made from nylon rather than propionate, it's the lightest of the three and maintains the iconic Wayfarer heritage without the forward tilt of the original. If you prefer a less pronounced frame that doesn't dominate your face, the New Wayfarer is the safer, more understated choice. It's also the most affordable option, starting at $117.56.
Justin 4165: Street-Style Bold
The Justin is the boxiest and most contemporary of the three, with a rubberized frame finish that gives it a modern, street-style edge. It offers the largest lens coverage and the boldest look, but that size can overwhelm smaller faces. The rubberized texture provides excellent grip but feels less premium than the Erik's polished propionate. If you're after maximum impact and a casual, urban aesthetic, the Justin delivers—and at a lower starting price of $98.00.
Our Recommendation
Choose the Erik 4398 if you want a bold square frame with a polished, versatile look that transitions easily from weekend to work. Its substantial presence and quality propionate construction make it feel premium without being overly casual. Go with the New Wayfarer if you prefer a lighter, more classic rectangular shape with Wayfarer heritage and a lower price point. Pick the Justin if you want maximum coverage, a rubberized modern finish, and a street-style vibe at the most affordable price.
