Rip Curl BONEYARDS vs. Similar Surf-Lifestyle Sunglasses
If you're drawn to the BONEYARDS' rectangle shape and hybrid construction, you might also consider other models in the Rip Curl collection. Here's how the BONEYARDS stacks up against similar options in our store.
BONEYARDS vs. TRESTLES
Both the BONEYARDS and the Rip Curl TRESTLES are priced at $84.54 and feature polarized lenses with surf-inspired designs. The key difference is shape: the BONEYARDS offers a classic rectangle silhouette (55-19-135), while the TRESTLES leans toward a square shape (55-15-145). The BONEYARDS' hybrid stainless steel and acetate construction gives it a slightly more refined look, while the TRESTLES offers three color options versus the BONEYARDS' two. If you prefer a rectangle frame that suits a wider range of face shapes, the BONEYARDS is the better choice. If you want a bolder square look with more color variety, consider the TRESTLES.
BONEYARDS vs. POINTBREAK
The Rip Curl POINTBREAK shares the same price and polarized lens technology as the BONEYARDS. Both are prescription-ready and built for outdoor performance. The POINTBREAK offers a different frame style that may appeal to those looking for an alternative to the rectangle shape. If you're set on a rectangle frame with hybrid construction, the BONEYARDS is the clear pick. If you're open to exploring different shapes within the Rip Curl line, the POINTBREAK is worth a look.
BONEYARDS vs. JEFFREYSBAY
The Rip Curl JEFFREYSBAY is another surf-lifestyle option with polarized lenses and prescription compatibility. Priced slightly higher on some variants ($84.54–$87.70), it offers a different aesthetic while maintaining the same core features. The BONEYARDS' rectangle shape and stainless steel front give it a more versatile, everyday look, while the JEFFREYSBAY may lean more sport-specific depending on the variant. For a balance of style and function at a consistent price, the BONEYARDS is the smarter choice.
Why Choose the BONEYARDS?
The BONEYARDS stands out for its hybrid construction, classic rectangle shape, and versatile styling. The stainless steel front resists corrosion and holds up well in coastal environments, while the acetate temples add comfort and flexibility. The polarized mirrored lenses deliver serious glare reduction for water sports, driving, and everyday outdoor use. If you want a prescription-ready frame that works as well on the beach as it does in the city, the BONEYARDS is a solid pick.
