Costa Del Mar Rincondo Polarized Sunglasses
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
West Coast Shape, Serious Polarized Performance
Named for the legendary California point break, the Rincondo brings the same no-compromise attitude to your face. The big, bold frame features a classic straight bridge, wrapping style lines, and edgy curved temples that capture the spirit of the wave and the surfers who charge it. Whether you are on the water, on the road, or anywhere the sun demands respect, the Rincondo delivers a commanding silhouette backed by Costa's optical technology.
580G Polarized Glass Lenses
The Rincondo is fitted with Costa's 580G polarized glass lens system. The "580" designation refers to Costa's proprietary color enhancement technology, which filters yellow light at 580nm to sharpen contrast and reveal detail in low-contrast environments like water and sky. Glass construction provides superior scratch resistance and optical clarity compared to polycarbonate alternatives. The Base 6 Decentered lens curve minimizes peripheral distortion, keeping your vision accurate from edge to edge. Polarization eliminates horizontal glare off water, pavement, and reflective surfaces so you can see clearly in the conditions that matter most.
Bio-Based Resin Frame
The Rincondo frame is built from Costa's castor plant bio-based resin. This proprietary material is lighter than conventional petroleum-based plastics, resilient against impact, and more sustainable in its sourcing. The result is a large-format frame that feels comfortable on longer wears without the weight penalty that oversized styles can carry. Spring hinges on both temples provide a self-adjusting flex that accommodates a wide range of head shapes, reducing pressure points over extended use.
Oversized Fit for a Big-Head-Friendly Silhouette
The Rincondo is intentionally sized large. It works well for most wearers seeking a bold, full-coverage look, and it is specifically engineered to fit comfortably for those who find standard frames too narrow or too short across the temples. The regular fit frame geometry sits securely without pinching, while the wrapping temples provide lateral stability during active movement. No nosepad adjustment is required; the frame geometry and material flexibility handle the fit work.
Built for Sun, Water, and Everything In Between
Costa Del Mar has been building polarized sunglasses from Daytona Beach, Florida since the 1980s, with a core focus on anglers, surfers, and outdoor athletes who spend real time under real sun. The Rincondo earns its place in that lineup: serious lens optics, a durable frame material, and a shape that looks intentional rather than incidental.
