Built for Life on the Water
The Costa Del Mar Sampan Polarized Sunglasses are designed for the person who takes their time outdoors seriously. A wide, statement-making frame pairs with Costa's proven 580P polarized lens technology to cut glare, enhance contrast, and protect your eyes whether you are on the water, in the lineup, or out in the sun all day. Costa has been building performance eyewear in America since its founding in Daytona Beach, Florida, and the Sampan carries that tradition into a versatile, wear-everywhere silhouette.
580P Polarized Lens Technology
The 580P designation tells you exactly what you are getting: Costa's 580 light filter built into a polycarbonate (P) lens. The 580 filter blocks yellow light at 580nm, the wavelength responsible for harsh glare and haze. The result is sharper definition, deeper color saturation, and reduced eye fatigue, even in the brightest conditions. Polycarbonate lenses are impact-resistant and lightweight, making the 580P an ideal choice for active wear where durability and all-day comfort matter equally. The lenses meet ANSI Z80.3 optical standards and block 100% of UV light.
Frame Construction and Fit
The Sampan frame is sized for a Regular fit, Costa's middle tier in their Narrow-Regular-Wide fit range. Fit is shaped by a combination of the overall frame dimensions and the construction details of the frame itself, including the hinge design and temple arm geometry. At 143mm total frame width, 57.7mm lens width, and 44.5mm lens height, the Sampan sits as a wider, full-coverage frame that suits a broad range of face shapes. Temple arms measure 132mm, long enough for a secure hold through movement. The Costa wave logo appears at the temple hinge as a clean metal accent, visible in the product image.
Costa Del Mar: American-Made Performance Eyewear
Costa Del Mar is an American manufacturer of polarized sunglasses, headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida. The brand was built around one idea: sunglasses that perform as hard as the people wearing them. Every frame is engineered to look good and hold up to the demands of saltwater, sun, and the everyday adventures in between. The Sampan is a natural expression of that mission, balancing bold style with optical precision that only Costa's 580 technology delivers.
