Costa Del Mar Clemente Polarized Sunglasses
Built for Coastal Adventures
The Costa Clemente is designed for those who want a frame that keeps up with a life spent near the water. The bold, wraparound-inspired silhouette draws its design DNA from the southern California coastline, with sculptural contours across the frame front and a distinctive ripple texture along the temples that references the rhythm of the ocean.
Underneath the style is a frame built from bio resin, a material that reduces environmental impact without compromising durability. For a brand rooted in coastal culture, the choice of bio resin reflects a genuine commitment to the waters the Clemente is meant to explore.
Costa 580G Lens Technology
The Clemente is fitted with Costa's 580G polarized glass lenses, the brand's flagship lens platform. The "580" designation refers to the specific light-filtering spectrum the lenses target: they block high-energy blue light while enhancing reds, greens, and contrast so coastal environments look sharper and more vibrant rather than flat and washed out.
Glass construction delivers optical clarity that polycarbonate cannot match. The tradeoff in weight is offset by superior scratch resistance, making 580G the lens of choice for anglers, paddlers, and anyone who subjects their eyewear to genuine outdoor use. Polarization eliminates surface glare off water, wet sand, and pavement, reducing eye fatigue on long days outside.
Frame Construction and Fit
The Clemente's bio resin frame is built on a Base 4.25 lens curve, providing wrap coverage that keeps peripheral light from sneaking in at the edges without locking you into a full sport-wrap profile. The fit is categorized as XL, with a generous frame face that works well for wider facial structures. The angular frame geometry keeps the look modern and fashion-forward while the lightweight bio resin keeps it comfortable across full days on the water or in the sun.
