Costa Sunglasses
Costa, formerly Costa Del Mar makes sunglasses for outdoor life. The rugged frames are built to withstand the elements. Costa eyewear is designed for active lifestyles. It brings fashion and style to the trailhead or beach. Costa eyewear includes polarized sunglasses, Costa prescription sunglasses, Designer eyeglasses and C-Mates Bifocal Readers and Dress reading glasses. These will assist you in whatever direction your adventures take.
Costa was founded by fishermen for fishermen in the 1980s. They continue to produce high-quality sunglasses and eyeglasses using innovative technology. These glasses are made from water; each pair is worth the investment.
Sunglasses Features
Costa Del Mar remains a popular brand thanks to the excellent construction and innovative yet practical features. For example, many of their models are designed with side ventilation to help prevent fogging and manage sweat.
Options for a Comfortable Fit
The glasses are designed with rubber nose and temple pads. They are also carefully crafted to offer a good fit for a wide range of head shapes. The Costa team’s goal has always been to offer super-comfortable glasses. This is supported by the lightweight construction. You can easily forget that you are wearing sunglasses at all, even during all-day use.
The excellent fit also helps to ensure that the glasses will stay in place. When you are fishing or otherwise enjoying the outdoors, knowing that your glasses will stay on your face is always a plus.
Multiple Frame Materials Available
There are a few different material options for your frames. These are the options you need to know about:
- Bio-Based Nylon: With this co-injected, bio-based nylon material, your glasses will be lightweight and extremely strong. This is the most common material for Costa prescription sunglasses and non-prescription models.
- Acetate: Many people enjoy the warm, luxurious feel of acetate. It is strong, light and hypoallergenic. It is ideal for layered designs with rich colors.
- Metal: Glasses have always had metal frames as an option. With marine-grade, corrosion-resistant Monel and titanium frames, Costa offered metal glasses that are ready for aquatic use.
- Combination: With nylon, acetate and metal, these frames offer a great combination of durability, performance and style.
- Rimless: Some people love the look of rimless glasses. You can find these in a few of the above material options. They are ultra-light and look great.
Robust Hinges
Hinges are the literal weak point of many glasses. Thus, Costa has invested time and effort into making the most robust hinges possible. They keep their shape and ensure a consistent, comfortable fit. No matter where you take your sunglasses, you can be confident that they will stay in excellent condition. The frames may feature integral, optical spring, snap or five-barrel optical hinges. No matter what you choose, you will love the look and feel of your sunglasses.

Yes, Costa focuses on polarized sunglasses. Their technology polarizes light with 99.99% efficiency and keeps out high-energy visible (blue) light. These eye protection measures can cause color distortion in some glasses. So, Costa Del Mar has created color-correcting and -enhancing technology to offer excellent visual clarity. You can view full details about the 580 Costa Lens Technology.

Most of our Costas are hand assembled in USA, because we have yet to find a machine that does the job as well as a real, live person. We receive parts for our sunglasses from all around the world. Costas assembled in USA are examined by no fewer than eight pairs of eyes before they ever shield yours. It’s the only way we know how to keep the high standards we need to confidently back every pair of Costas with a limited warranty.
One size doesn’t always fit all. That’s why we’re continually innovating new sunglass frame styles. On our website, each sunglass style is labeled as either narrow, regular, or wide fit. Regular fit is our most common. When shopping online, you can choose to filter sunglasses by fit to see which frame options might be best for you. Specific sunglass measurements are available under the “Sunglass Specs” tab on each sunglass detail page and you can learn how to select the proper fit here.
Costa Sunglasses and optical eyeglass frames are warranted against defects in materials or workmanship. Costa will repair or replace (with an identical or reasonably equivalent style), at our option, any product determined by Costa to have a manufacturer’s defect. Costa will ask you to cover a processing fee, which includes return shipping and handling, plus applicable tax. If we determine that the damage to your Costa sunglasses is not a defect in materials or workmanship (for example, wear and tear, accidental damage, scratched lenses, broken hinges, misuse or other problems not covered by one of our limited warranties), you may still take advantage of our Repair Program. Please note that our Repair Program is not available for your Costa Optical eyeglass frames or for lenses supplied by your Eye Care Practitioner.
Every repair is different. And since we look at each one individually, repair costs will vary. Please see our Repair Program for more information. You will also be charged for shipping and handling and applicable tax.
Scratched lenses are not covered under Costa’s other limited warranties. Under our Repair Program, you may be able to have your scratched lenses replaced for a fee.
The average turnaround time is three weeks.
There’s a real need for clear vision all day, every day. So, we created Costa Optical: a line of handcrafted prescription eyeglass frames that’s inspired by famous underwater places with topographical designs.
Costa offers a line of high quality Readers in a variety of styles – C-Mates Bifocal Readers and Dress reading glasses.
A lens cleaning solution and our premium microfiber cleaning cloth are your best bets for keeping your Costas in top shape. Keep them in their protective case, away from extreme temperatures (translation: don’t leave them on the dash of your pickup). Regular tightening of your hinge screws will also help maintain your frame. Follow these guidelines and your Costas will help you see what’s out there for years to come.
Just like all other angling equipment, proper maintenance of your Costas is vital in achieving maximum performance and maximum protection. To keep your Costas in great condition and to get the most out of them in your time on the water, follow these simple steps.
Rinse: Take your Costas and run them under some lukewarm water to rinse away any salt, sunscreen or other unwanted debris.
Clean: Take a dash of mild soap and lightly apply it to the lenses. Use your fingers to gently spread it across the lens and cover the full surface.
Rinse again: Once you’ve applied the soap, run your Costas under water again ensuring that all residue is removed.
Dry: For the final step, take your microfiber cloth and gently dry your Costas. Make sure to do this thoroughly!
Costa offers frames to meet everyone’s needs. Customers can choose a frame based on color, hypoallergenic materials, durability, lightness, cost and uniqueness. Each frame offers its own performance advantages and style features for eyewear that fits every occasion.
