The Costa Del Mar Whitetip Pro 9115 sunglasses bring professional-grade fishing performance to a medium-fit rectangular frame. Part of Costa's PRO Series, these prescription-ready sunglasses upgrade the legacy Whitetip design with technical features tested by full-time fishing guides and tournament anglers: vented adjustable nose pads, sweat management channels, eyewire drains, Hydrolite rubber grips, side shields with hooding, and metal keeper slots.
PRO Series Technology Built for the Water
The Whitetip Pro combines a fast, chiseled design with Costa's signature 3-hole scoop venting. The vented, fully adjustable nose pads let you customize the fit while improving airflow to reduce fogging. Sweat management channels and eyewire drains redirect moisture away from your eyes and lenses—keeping your vision clear when you're fighting fish in the heat. The improved Hydrolite nose pads and temple grips get tackier as they get wet, locking the frames in place even in rough water. Side shields with hooding block light leak, and metal keeper slots accept retainer cords so your sunglasses stay with you, not at the bottom of the lake.
The bio-resin frame is lighter and more sustainable than traditional acetate, with integrated spring hinges for all-day comfort. At 57mm lens width, the Whitetip Pro fits average-sized heads and offers maximum coverage with an 8-base wrap that reduces peripheral glare.
Costa 580 Polarized Lens Technology
Every pair ships with Costa's polarized 580 lenses, available in glass (580G) or polycarbonate (580P). The 580 technology filters harmful high-energy blue light and blocks yellow light at 580 nanometers, sharpening contrast and making reds, greens, and blues pop—especially over water. Glass lenses deliver superior optical clarity and scratch resistance thanks to mirrors encapsulated between layers of glass. All lenses absorb 100% UV light and feature Costa's C-Wall coating, which repels water, oil, and sweat for easy cleaning.
Available in 13 lens and frame combinations, including Blue Mirror for offshore brightness, Green Mirror for inshore flats, Copper Silver Mirror for variable light, and the new Gold Mirror 580G—a rose-based lens with lighter visible light transmission that excels in both full sun and overcast conditions.
Prescription-Ready Performance
The Whitetip Pro 9115 accepts prescription lenses, so you don't have to choose between clear vision and polarized protection on the water. The adjustable nose pads ensure proper optical alignment for Rx wearers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Costa Whitetip Pro sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Costa Whitetip Pro 9115 is fully prescription-ready. The frame accepts custom Rx lenses, and the vented adjustable nose pads allow for proper optical alignment and a customized fit for prescription wearers. You can order them with single-vision, progressive, or bifocal lenses.
What is the difference between Costa 580G and 580P lenses?
580G lenses are made from optical glass and offer superior clarity and scratch resistance, with mirrors encapsulated between glass layers. They're 20% thinner and 22% lighter than standard polarized glass. 580P lenses are polycarbonate—lighter, more impact-resistant, and about $50 less expensive, but more prone to scratches. Both filter the same harmful light and provide 100% UV protection.
What size head does the Whitetip Pro fit?
The Whitetip Pro 9115 is a medium-sized frame (57mm lens width, 18mm bridge) designed to fit average-sized heads. It's the smallest frame in the PRO Series lineup. Costa describes it as having a "large lens front designed to fit those with an average-sized head" with maximum coverage and an 8-base wrap.
What are the PRO Series features on the Whitetip Pro?
The Whitetip Pro includes six PRO Series upgrades: vented and fully adjustable nose pads for custom fit and reduced fogging, sweat management channels that redirect moisture away from your eyes, eyewire drains to prevent water pooling, improved Hydrolite rubber that gets tackier when wet, side shields with hooding to block light leak, and metal keeper slots for retainer cords.
Do Costa Whitetip Pro sunglasses have UV protection?
Yes, all Costa Whitetip Pro sunglasses absorb 100% of UVA, UVB, and UVC light. The polarized 580 lenses also filter harmful high-energy blue light and block yellow light at 580 nanometers to enhance contrast and color. The C-Wall coating adds scratch resistance and repels water, oil, and sweat.
What lens color is best for fishing in the Whitetip Pro?
Blue Mirror 580G is ideal for bright offshore conditions and open water. Green Mirror works best for inshore fishing and flats, enhancing contrast in variable light. The new Gold Mirror 580G offers lighter visible light transmission and excels in both full sun and overcast conditions, making it the most versatile all-around fishing lens.

Costa Whitetip Pro vs. Other PRO Series Sunglasses
The Costa Whitetip Pro 9115 sits in the medium-fit range of Costa's PRO Series lineup, making it ideal for anglers with average-sized heads who want professional-grade features without the bulk of larger frames. Here's how it compares to other PRO Series options in our catalog.
Whitetip Pro vs. Fantail Pro
The Costa Fantail Pro 9079 shares all six PRO Series features with the Whitetip Pro—vented adjustable nose pads, sweat channels, eyewire drains, improved Hydrolite, side shields, and keeper slots. The key difference is frame shape: the Fantail Pro has a slimmer, more streamlined profile that some anglers prefer for a less chunky look. Both are medium-fit frames, but the Whitetip Pro offers slightly more lens coverage and a wider selection of lens colors. The Fantail Pro is available in 580G glass only, while the Whitetip Pro offers both 580G and 580P options. If you want maximum versatility in lens choice and a classic rectangular shape, the Whitetip Pro is the better pick.
Whitetip Pro vs. Blackfin Pro
The Costa Blackfin Pro 9078 is the larger sibling in the PRO Series family. It's built for anglers with bigger faces or those who want maximum lens area for superior peripheral coverage. The Blackfin Pro features the same PRO tech as the Whitetip Pro but in a larger, heavier frame. If you have an average-sized head, the Whitetip Pro will feel more balanced and comfortable for all-day wear. If you need more coverage or have a larger face, the Blackfin Pro is worth the extra size and cost.
Whitetip Pro vs. Jose Pro
The Costa Jose Pro 9106 is another medium-fit PRO Series frame with identical technical features. The choice between the two comes down to frame shape and style preference. The Whitetip Pro has a more rectangular, classic fishing sunglass look with the signature 3-hole scoop venting. The Jose Pro offers a different aesthetic while delivering the same performance. Both are prescription-ready and priced similarly ($286–$309). If you're drawn to the Whitetip's legacy design and want the widest range of lens colors, it's the better choice.
Why Choose the Whitetip Pro?
The Whitetip Pro 9115 is the best choice for anglers who want a medium-fit PRO Series frame with maximum lens color options, a proven rectangular design, and the versatility to choose between 580G glass or 580P polycarbonate lenses. It's lighter and more comfortable than the Blackfin Pro, offers more lens choices than the Fantail Pro, and carries the legacy of the original Whitetip design that's been trusted by anglers for over a decade.
