Ray-Ban Chris RB4187 Polarized Sunglasses
The Ray-Ban Chris belongs to the Highstreet collection and draws its DNA from the iconic Erika silhouette, then reshapes it into a more squared-off, decisive frame. The result is a design with broad crossover appeal -- relaxed enough for a beach day, sharp enough for the street. Square lenses sit in an injected plastic frame finished with Ray-Ban's signature gummy, rubberized texture: softer to the touch than polished acetate and less prone to slipping even in humid conditions.
Polarized Lenses
Every Ray-Ban Chris Polarized carries lenses treated with a polarized filter that cuts horizontally reflected glare at its source. That matters most around water, sand, and wet pavement, where flat surfaces bounce light directly into your line of sight. The Classic treatment preserves true color rendition, so the world looks natural rather than artificially enhanced. The Ray-Ban "P" logo on the left lens is the standard mark of a genuine polarized Ray-Ban lens.
Frame Construction
The RB4187 frame is built from injected plastic, a process that produces consistent thickness and a clean, lightweight result across the full frame. The gummy rubberized finish is applied over the injected base, adding grip and a matte-like tactile quality that sets the Chris apart from standard polished frames. Gunmetal temples keep the frame from feeling too heavy at the hinge and provide a refined contrast to the front. The fit is Regular with a High Bridge Fit nosecup geometry, designed for a secure, non-pinching seat across a range of face shapes.
Fit and Dimensions
The Chris runs at a 54mm bridge/lens width with an 18mm bridge, a 43.7mm lens height, 131mm hinge-to-hinge measurement, and 145mm temples. That combination puts it in medium territory -- wide enough to suit most face shapes without overwhelming narrower features. The square lens shape and moderate depth make it a versatile everyday frame rather than an oversized fashion statement.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Ray-Ban Chris RB4187 sunglasses polarized?
- Yes. The Ray-Ban Chris Polarized (RB4187) carries a genuine polarized lens filter. You can confirm this by looking for the Ray-Ban "P" logo on the left lens, which Ray-Ban applies to every polarized lens in its lineup.
- What is the Ray-Ban Chris frame made of?
- The Chris RB4187 frame is built from injected plastic and finished with Ray-Ban's rubberized, gummy coating. This gives it a softer, more textured feel than standard polished acetate and helps the frame grip comfortably in warm or humid conditions.
- What is the difference between Ray-Ban Chris and Erika?
- The Erika is rounder and lighter in silhouette, designed with a softer circular shape. The Chris takes cues from the Erika but uses square lenses and a less circular frame, making it a slightly more structured and masculine alternative within the Highstreet collection.
- Is the Ray-Ban Chris a good fit for high bridge noses?
- Yes. The Chris RB4187 is built with a High Bridge Fit nosecup geometry, making it a strong choice for wearers with a higher nose bridge who find standard-fit frames sit too low or pinch at the bridge.
- How do I care for Ray-Ban Chris polarized lenses?
- Clean the lenses with the included microfiber cloth or a lens-safe cloth moistened with water. Avoid paper towels, clothing fabric, and dry wiping, which can cause fine scratches. Keep the sunglasses in their case when not in use, and avoid leaving them on a dashboard where heat can warp the injected frame or degrade the lens coating.
- Where can I buy the Ray-Ban Chris Polarized RB4187?
- Island Water Sports carries the Ray-Ban Chris Polarized in South Florida and online at islandwatersports.com. You can also call us at 954-427-4929 for in-store availability questions.
- What does the rubberized finish on the Ray-Ban Chris frame feel like?
- The gummy, rubberized finish is a matte-textured coating applied over the injected plastic base. It feels slightly soft and grippy compared to a glossy polished frame, and it resists the kind of slipping that can happen with smooth frames in warm weather or after extended wear.
