Costa Del Mar Baffin Polarized Sunglasses

Sharp styling built from a real ocean cleanup story
The Costa Del Mar Baffin Polarized Sunglasses pair sharp angles and masculine styling with a name and a material story that both trace back to the ocean. The Baffin is named for the cold water current that ushers discarded fishing nets across marine ecosystems, and the frame itself is part of that same cleanup effort.
What is built into the frame and lens
These frames are made from 100% recycled fishing nets and are designed to be fully recyclable, giving them an end of life solution rather than ending up as more ocean waste. The Baffin carries a unique tumbled finish with textured detailing on the outer temples, plus interior rubber temple grips for comfort and performance during a full day of wear. The lenses are Costa's Polarized Glass, 580G, set in a regular fit frame with a base 4 lens curve, and the nosepad is fixed rather than adjustable. The Baffin belongs to Costa's Untangled collection, built entirely around recycled fishing net material.
Who reaches for the Baffin
This is a frame for anyone on the water who wants real polarization along with a material story they can stand behind, whether that is a day of fishing, boating, or just being out in bright glare. The interior rubber temple grips and regular fit are built to stay put through movement on a boat or at the beach, and the 580G polarized glass lens is built for genuine performance, not just a tinted look.
Wearing and caring for polarized glass lenses
Rinse the frame with fresh water after saltwater exposure to protect the tumbled finish and rubber temple grips, and store the sunglasses in a hard case when not worn to protect the glass lenses from scratches, since glass lenses are more scratch resistant than plastic but can still chip on impact. Clean the 580G lenses with a proper lens cloth rather than a shirt hem to avoid grinding grit into the glass surface.
About Costa Del Mar
