DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Rip Curl RC2013 eyeglasses bring surf-inspired style to everyday prescription eyewear. Built with a stainless steel front and flexible TR90 temples, these full-rim frames balance durability with all-day comfort. The square shape offers a modern, structured look that works for both men and women.

Lightweight, Flexible Construction

The RC2013 combines two proven materials: a corrosion-resistant stainless steel frame front paired with TR90 thermoplastic temples. TR90 is a flexible, impact-resistant material that won't break if dropped or bent—it absorbs shock and returns to its original shape. It's also hypoallergenic and feather-light, so these frames stay comfortable through long workdays or active weekends. The 56mm lens width and 17mm bridge fit most adult faces, with 140mm temples that flex to your head shape without pinching.

Prescription-Ready & Versatile

These frames accept single-vision, progressive, or bifocal prescription lenses. The full-rim design securely holds lenses of varying thicknesses, making them compatible with stronger prescriptions. Available in three matte finishes—Matt Black with red accents, Matt Gunmetal, and Matt Blue with orange accents—the RC2013 adds a pop of color without being loud. The Rip Curl logo sits subtly on each temple.

Rip Curl has been a fixture in surf culture since 1969, and that heritage shows in eyewear designed to handle real life. The RC2013 is built for people who need glasses that keep up—whether you're at a desk, outdoors, or somewhere in between.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Rip Curl RC2013 eyeglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the RC2013 frames are fully prescription-ready and accept single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim design securely holds lenses of varying thicknesses, making them compatible with most prescription strengths. You can customize them with anti-reflective coatings, blue light filtering, or transitions lenses.

What materials are the Rip Curl RC2013 frames made from?

The RC2013 features a stainless steel front frame combined with TR90 thermoplastic temples. This hybrid construction provides the strength and premium look of metal with the flexibility and lightweight comfort of TR90. The TR90 temples are impact-resistant, hypoallergenic, and won't break if accidentally bent or dropped.

What face shapes work best with square eyeglass frames?

Square frames like the RC2013 work well for people with round or oval face shapes, as the angular lines add definition and structure. They can also work for heart-shaped faces. If you have a square face with a strong jawline, you might prefer rounder frames for contrast, though many people with square faces still wear square frames successfully.

How durable are TR90 temple arms compared to regular plastic?

TR90 is significantly more durable than standard plastic. It's a flexible thermoplastic that absorbs impact rather than cracking or breaking. TR90 frames can survive drops, twisting, and accidental pressure, making them ideal for active lifestyles. The material also resists temperature changes and won't deform in hot or humid conditions.

What size are the Rip Curl RC2013 frames?

The RC2013 measures 56mm lens width, 17mm bridge width, and 140mm temple length (56-17-140). This is considered a medium to large fit suitable for most adult faces. The 56mm lens width provides good coverage without being oversized, and the flexible TR90 temples adjust to different head sizes.

Are Rip Curl eyeglasses good quality?

Rip Curl is an established Australian surf-lifestyle brand founded in 1969 and is part of the "Big Three" surf companies globally. Their eyewear focuses on high-performance materials and durability for active lifestyles. The RC2013 uses quality materials like stainless steel and TR90, and customer reviews consistently mention good build quality and accurate prescriptions.

Rip Curl RC2013 vs. Other Rip Curl Eyeglasses

If you're considering the RC2013, you might also be looking at other frames in the Rip Curl collection. Here's how the RC2013 compares to two similar models.

RC2013 vs. RC2019

Both the RC2013 and RC2019 offer full-rim construction and Rip Curl's surf-inspired aesthetic. The RC2019 starts at a slightly lower price ($95.70 vs. $99.92) and may feature a different frame shape or style. The RC2013's square shape with stainless steel front and TR90 temples makes it ideal for those who want a structured, modern look with maximum durability. If you prefer the square shape and the hybrid metal-TR90 construction, the RC2013 is worth the small price difference.

RC2013 vs. RC2009

The RC2009 is priced identically to the RC2013 at $99.92 but features a rectangle shape instead of square. Rectangle frames tend to balance rounded face features, while square frames add definition. The RC2013's square design offers a bolder, more contemporary look, while the RC2009's rectangle shape is slightly more traditional. Both use quality metal construction, so your choice comes down to which frame shape better suits your face and personal style.

Why choose the RC2013? The RC2013 stands out for its hybrid construction—stainless steel for durability and a premium look, TR90 for flexibility and comfort. The square shape is modern and versatile, and the three matte color options with accent details give you more personality than basic frames. At $99.92, it's competitively priced within the Rip Curl collection while offering excellent build quality and all-day wearability.
