Folding sunglasses, also called foldable sunglasses, fold flat or compact for easier carrying between a bag, pocket or case, though the exact format depends on the model. Stocked designs include the Persol® PO0714, the Ray-Ban® RB4105 Wayfarer Folding and the ROAV Galaxy 8203 Echo, each with its own folding mechanism, open-frame fit and, where supplied, carrying case. Compare the three below to see which folding design and case suit how you plan to carry them.
Compare Folding Sunglasses
The Persol PO0714 Folding 95/31 is an oval, full-rim frame in black with green lenses, also available in other frame and lens color combinations, in a large fit. The Ray-Ban RB4105 Wayfarer Folding 710/51 takes the classic Wayfarer shape in light havana, full rim, with gradient brown lenses, also available in other colorways, in medium and large fits. The ROAV Galaxy 8203 Echo Folding Black Polarized is a lightweight, super-thin, square full-rim frame in matte black with polarized gray-green lenses. Each folds differently: the Persol and Ray-Ban use a traditional folding-temple mechanism built into a recognizable frame shape, while the ROAV Galaxy’s super-thin build is designed to fold flatter for a more compact carry. Choose the Persol or Ray-Ban for a classic look with a familiar silhouette, or the ROAV Galaxy if a slim, pocket-friendly profile matters most.
Fold and Store the Selected Models
Follow each manufacturer’s folding sequence rather than applying one method to every pair, since the mechanism differs by model. The Persol and Ray-Ban use a center-folding temple design typical of classic folding frames; check the product page or included instructions for the exact sequence and the case supplied with your colorway. The ROAV Galaxy’s slim build is designed to fold down further for a flatter carry; use the case and care instructions supplied with the product, and avoid forcing the hinges past their designed range on any folding model.
Are Folding Sunglasses the Right Choice for You?
If you want a well-known shape that still folds for travel, the Persol PO0714 or Ray-Ban RB4105 Wayfarer Folding give you a classic silhouette with the added convenience of a compact carry, backed by the case supplied with your colorway. If a slim, pocket-friendly profile is the priority over shape, the super-thin ROAV Galaxy 8203 Echo folds flatter and adds polarized lenses for glare reduction. Whichever you choose, follow the model’s own folding and care instructions, since the extra joints in a folding frame need a little more care than a standard pair.
