Costa Del Mar Irie Polarized Sunglasses
Named for the Caribbean expression meaning everything's good, the Costa Del Mar Irie is built to cut UV and glare while you dial up good times on the water.

Lens and Frame Technology
- Absorbs harmful high energy blue light (HEV)
- Enhances reds, greens, and blues
- Filters out harsh yellow light
- Glass lenses provide the best clarity of any lens material Costa offers
- Encapsulated mirrors between layers of glass are scratch proof
- 20% thinner and 22% lighter than average polarized glass
- Polycarbonate options are the lightest and most durable lens material
- C-WALL is a molecular bond that resists scratches
- Blocks 100% of UV light
The Irie frame itself is designed with an oversized look and a distinctive keyhole nose piece, a style choice built for those who want more presence on their face along with the protection underneath.
Who It Is For
The Irie suits anyone spending real time in South Florida sun and glare, whether that is offshore fishing, paddling, or just walking the beach, where cutting glare off the water matters as much as blocking UV. The oversized silhouette appeals to wearers who want a bolder, statement frame rather than a low profile pair.
Wearing and Caring for Polarized Glass Lenses
Because these use glass lenses, rinse them with fresh water after salt exposure and store them in a case rather than tossing them in a bag, since glass resists scratches well but is not indestructible. Wipe with a microfiber cloth only, never a shirt or towel, to protect the C-WALL scratch resistant coating and the encapsulated mirror layer.
