Ray Ban Wayfarer Tortoise Sunglasses

First introduced in 1952, the Wayfarer was originally targeted at pilots, playing off the success of the Aviator model. But rather than go for the large lenses designed to cover the strange-looking tan lines caused by the large goggles worn by the open cockpit pilots of WWI, Wayfarers were much sleeker looking.

But it was thanks to Audrey Hepburn, as Holly Golightly, wearing a pair them in the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany's that gave the Wayfarer initial success.

By the 70's, however, sales had become quite slow. Ray-Ban was ready to discontinue the line. Even though they had experienced success, clearly attributable to their appearance in the movies, it wasn't until 1982 that the whole idea of product placement really took off.

That's when the producers of the soon-to-be filmed E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial approached candy company Mars Inc. about using M&M's in their movie. Mars turned down the offer after film makers asked for payment. Hershey's, on the other hand, decided to take the risk and paid to have Reese's Pieces appear in the movie.

The incredible success of Reese's Pieces' appearance in E.T. caused product placement companies to start springing up.

After being approached by one such company, Ray-Ban agreed to pay to have the Wayfarer appear in the movie Risky Business where Tom Cruise famously wore them throughout the movie as well as for promotional posters and box covers.

The Wayfarer's 1983 sales saw a boost that would cement its iconic destiny. The Wayfarer went on to appear in over 360 movies and television shows during the next four years.

Today, movies like 1998's The Truman Show lampoon product placement efforts and attempts at covert marketing are easily picked off by savvy viewers. While product placement marketing continues to become more and more of a tricky business in order to pull it off successfully -- the goal being to prominently place a product without it being obvious that it's there intentionally -- its early successes has guaranteed the Wayfarer a permanent place in marketing and fashion history.

They come in nine different styles and at the reasonable price of $60 to $95 per pair, they are well worth the money. Compared to other designer sun glasses that sell for over $200 so you know you are getting a bargain when you buy Electric.

All the frames for the Electric sunglasses, except for the Flux aviator style in the Electric line, are made from grylamide. This is a nylon material so that the sunglasses, even the Electric Vol sunglasses, are lightweight and fit snugly to your face. When you are flying through the air, you don’t want the sunglasses to slip and distract you. This is why there are rubber grips on the nosepiece that stick even tighter when they get wet.

The lenses in Electric sunglasses are made from polycarbonate – a shatterproof material. These sunglasses go through stringent testing before they go to market to make sure they meet the shatterproof test. The nylon frame comes in a wraparound design so that no UV rays cane get around the sides and you can keep the sunglasses firmly in place.

Electric Vol sunglasses do not have polarized lenses. These sunglasses have thin frames and large lenses. The style seems reminiscent of the sunglasses of the 1940’s and the Vol sunglasses are designed for fashion. You also have a choice in the color or lens you want, such as oyster/bronze, lavender or white gloss. Some of the Electric sunglasses, such as the Electric Maxwell and Electric Noise, do contain these lenses. If you can get polarized sunglasses for such a low price, why pay the high prices for biker sunglasses when these work just as well?
