DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Costa Del Mar Clipperton 9119 sunglasses deliver performance-driven design for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts who need serious glare protection without sacrificing style. Built with a rectangular 8-base wrap frame, these polarized sunglasses offer superior coverage and a modernized look that works equally well on the water or around town.

Costa 580 Lens Technology: Color Enhancement That Changes How You See

Every Clipperton frame comes equipped with Costa's patented 580 lens technology, engineered to filter out harsh yellow light at 580 nanometers while enhancing reds, greens, and blues. The result is sharper contrast, better depth perception, and colors that pop—especially critical when you're sight fishing or navigating changing light conditions. All lenses provide 100% UV protection and 100% polarization to eliminate reflected glare from water, sand, and pavement.

Available in both 580G glass and 580P polycarbonate versions, you can choose the lens material that fits your needs. The 580G glass lenses deliver superior optical clarity and scratch resistance—they're 20% thinner and 22% lighter than average polarized glass. The 580P polycarbonate lenses offer a lighter, more impact-resistant option at a lower price point, with added scratch-resistant coating. Mirror finishes in blue, green, and copper silver add extra protection in bright, full-sun conditions.

Built for All-Day Comfort and Retention

The Clipperton's injected bio-resin frame features double-injected Hydrolite rubber across the temples and nose pads—Costa's proprietary, hypoallergenic material that prevents slippage even when you're sweating. The medium fit accommodates average-sized heads comfortably, and the frame's 58mm lens width, 18mm bridge, and 133mm temple length provide a secure, balanced fit. Retainer-ready temple tips let you attach your preferred strap system, so your frames stay put during active pursuits.

The C-Wall coating adds scratch resistance and repels water, oil, and sweat for easy cleaning. This frame is prescription-ready, making it a versatile choice if you need vision correction without compromising on performance optics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Costa Del Mar Clipperton sunglasses available with prescription lenses?

Yes, the Clipperton 9119 is prescription-ready and can be fitted with Costa Rx lenses. Costa offers both single vision and multifocal prescription options with their 580 polarized lens technology. Most authorized Costa prescription dealers can customize these frames with your prescription, though online prescription orders are typically limited to 580P polycarbonate lenses.

What's the difference between Costa 580G and 580P lenses?

The 580G lenses are glass-based and offer superior optical clarity and scratch resistance—they're 20% thinner and 22% lighter than average polarized glass. The 580P lenses are polycarbonate, making them lighter, more impact-resistant, and more affordable. Both provide the same 580 color-enhancement technology, 100% UV protection, and polarization. Glass is preferred for ultimate clarity; polycarbonate is better for active use and all-day comfort.

What size head do Costa Clipperton sunglasses fit?

The Clipperton has a medium fit designed for average-sized heads. The frame measures 58mm lens width, 18mm bridge width, 133mm temple length, and 130.6mm total frame width. The 8-base wrap provides maximum coverage while the double-injected Hydrolite nose pads and temples ensure a secure, comfortable fit even during extended wear.

What is Hydrolite and why does it matter?

Hydrolite is Costa's proprietary hypoallergenic rubber used on nose pads and temple tips. It prevents slippage by absorbing sweat and moisture, keeping your sunglasses securely in place during active use. The Clipperton features double-injected Hydrolite across the frame for enhanced comfort and retention, allowing you to focus on fishing, boating, or other outdoor activities without constantly adjusting your frames.

Are Costa Clipperton sunglasses good for fishing?

Yes, the Clipperton is designed specifically for anglers and water sports. The 580 lens technology filters out yellow light and enhances reds, greens, and blues, making it easier to spot fish in the water. The polarized lenses eliminate glare from the water's surface, while the 8-base wrap and side coverage reduce light leak. Green mirror lenses are particularly effective for inshore and flats fishing, while blue mirror works best for offshore and open water.

Can I attach a retainer strap to Costa Clipperton sunglasses?

Yes, the Clipperton features retainer-ready temple tips that allow you to attach any retainer or strap of your choice. This ensures your frames won't be lost while exploring, fishing, or participating in water sports. The temple tip design accommodates standard Costa straps and most third-party retention systems.

Costa Clipperton vs. Rincon vs. Mainsail: Which Rectangle Frame Is Right for You?

If you're choosing between Costa's rectangular performance frames, the Clipperton, Rincon, and Mainsail all deliver 580 lens technology and polarized protection—but each has distinct advantages.

Choose the Clipperton if: You want the newest design with an 8-base wrap for maximum coverage, refined styling with subtle feminine details, and retainer-ready temples. The Clipperton's double-injected Hydrolite and medium fit make it ideal for all-day wear on the water or trail, and it's particularly well-suited for prescription lenses according to customer feedback.

Choose the Rincon if: You need a larger frame for a wider face or prefer a more established model with extensive real-world reviews. The Rincon has been a Costa staple for years and offers proven performance at a similar price point, though it lacks some of the Clipperton's modern refinements.

Choose the Mainsail if: You prioritize maximum ventilation and sweat management. The Mainsail's vented nose pads and sweat channels make it the best choice for extreme heat or high-intensity activities, though its square shape may not suit all face shapes as universally as the Clipperton's rectangle.

All three frames are available in both 580G glass (superior clarity, scratch resistance) and 580P polycarbonate (lighter weight, impact resistance). For most anglers and outdoor enthusiasts, the Clipperton offers the best balance of modern design, coverage, and all-day comfort.
