The Ray-Ban Clubmaster Folding RB2176 sunglasses bring iconic browline style to your pocket. This ingenious take on the classic Clubmaster—first introduced by Ray-Ban in 1986—features innovative hinges at both the bridge and temples that let you fold the frame completely flat. Tuck them into a jacket pocket, slip them into a purse, or stash them in a glove compartment without the bulk of a traditional case.
Ray-Ban’s Clubmaster draws from the browline style that dominated American eyewear in the 1950s and ’60s, worn by cultural icons and intellectuals alike. The design pairs a bold acetate upper rim—mimicking the natural brow line—with a sleek metal lower frame and bridge. Ray-Ban revived this retro silhouette in 1986, and it quickly became a symbol of smart, rebellious style, appearing in films like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Reservoir Dogs. The RB2176 Folding model keeps that heritage intact while solving a real problem: how do you carry a full-rim frame without a bulky case?
The answer is precision engineering. The frame folds at the nose bridge and at each temple, collapsing to roughly half its open size. Reviewers consistently praise the compact design—one customer noted the frames “fold up into a tiny eye glass box and fit in my purse; great for travel.” The hinges feel sturdy, not flimsy, and the acetate-and-metal construction balances durability with a lightweight feel.
The RB2176 measures 51mm lens width, 21mm bridge, and 145mm temples—a medium fit that works well for most face shapes. The square-ish lens shape flatters round and oval faces, and the full-rim design gives a sense of completeness and structure. You’ll see the signature Ray-Ban logo etched into the left lens and gold rivets at the brow, subtle details that confirm authenticity. The black acetate upper frame contrasts beautifully with the gold metal lower rim in the classic 901 colorway, while the gradient brown and grey variants offer a softer, more versatile look.
These frames are prescription-ready. The full-rim construction accommodates single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses, and many optical labs can fit polarized prescription lenses as well. If you need corrective lenses, you don’t have to sacrifice the Clubmaster’s iconic look.
The RB2176 comes with your choice of classic G-15 green lenses (the original Ray-Ban tint, offering high contrast and natural color perception), gradient brown for a warmer tone, or dark grey for a neutral, subtle look. All lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection. Polarized versions are available in select colorways, cutting glare from water, pavement, and snow—ideal for driving or bright outdoor conditions.
Whether you’re replacing a well-loved pair or discovering the Clubmaster for the first time, the RB2176 Folding delivers the same retro-cool vibe as the original RB3016, just in a package you can actually carry every day.
