Costa Corrientes Polarized Sunglasses
The Corrientes is Costa Del Mar's answer to minimalist coastal style without sacrificing optical performance. Built on an ultra-thin Radel frame that achieves some of the thinnest cross sections in Costa's lineup, the Corrientes delivers a clean, elevated silhouette that moves from the water to everyday wear without looking out of place. Adjustable nose pads let you dial in the fit for all-day comfort and secure retention, even in the surf or on the boat.
580G Lens Technology
At the heart of the Corrientes is Costa's 580G lens, their top-tier polarized glass offering. The 580 designation refers to the specific wavelength of light (580 nanometers) that Costa's lens tints block and enhance. The result is sharper contrast, reduced glare off the water, and colors that appear more vivid and true-to-life than with standard polarized lenses. The glass construction adds inherent scratch resistance that polycarbonate lenses cannot match, making the 580G the choice for serious time on the water. The base 6 decentered lens curve minimizes optical distortion at the edges while maintaining a wide, unobstructed field of view.
Radel Frame Construction
Costa built the Corrientes frame from Radel, a high-performance copolymer resin that is significantly thinner and lighter than standard nylon or acetate frames at the same strength level. The narrow fit profile suits faces that find oversized frames uncomfortable, and the clean square shape reads as refined rather than sporty, making the Corrientes versatile enough for on-water and off-water use.
Fit and Comfort
Adjustable silicone-style nose pads give you a custom fit regardless of nose bridge shape, reducing the pressure points that cause fatigue during long sessions. The narrow frame fit keeps the Corrientes snug and secure without pinching, a balance that makes these sunglasses work as well on a paddleboard as in a restaurant.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Costa Corrientes sunglasses polarized?
- Yes. Every Corrientes is built with Costa's 580G polarized glass lens, which blocks horizontal glare off water and reflective surfaces while enhancing color contrast and clarity.
- What is Costa 580G?
- 580G is Costa Del Mar's premium polarized glass lens. The '580' refers to the wavelength of light the tint filters and enhances for sharper contrast and truer colors. The 'G' stands for glass, which provides superior scratch resistance compared to polycarbonate alternatives.
- What does 'base 6 decentered' mean on the Corrientes lens?
- A base 6 decentered lens has a moderate curve that reduces optical distortion toward the edges of the lens, giving you a wide, clear field of view without the warping that can occur with flatter or more steeply curved lenses.
- What is Radel frame material?
- Radel is a high-performance copolymer resin that allows Costa to produce frames with thinner cross sections than standard nylon or acetate, reducing weight while maintaining strength and durability.
- Are the Costa Corrientes a narrow or wide fit?
- The Corrientes is designed with a narrow frame fit, making it well suited for smaller or medium face widths. Adjustable nose pads let you fine-tune the bridge fit for additional comfort.
- Can I wear Costa Corrientes sunglasses for water sports?
- Yes. The 580G polarized glass cuts water glare effectively, and the adjustable nose pads and narrow fit help keep the frame secure during active use. Costa designs all Corrientes frames for coastal and on-water conditions.
