DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Columbia C505S HAZEN Sunglasses deliver outdoor-ready performance in a versatile rectangular frame. Built from lightweight injected grilamid—a high-performance thermoplastic known for impact resistance and flexibility—these sunglasses are designed to handle active lifestyles without weighing you down. The matte finish acetate frame comes in three colors (Matte Black, Matte Collegiate Navy, and Tortoise), each paired with smoke or green-tinted lenses that reduce glare while maintaining natural color perception.

Built for the Outdoors

The HAZEN features a slightly wrapped rectangular profile that extends sun protection to your peripheral vision, making it a smart choice for hiking, fishing, or any time you're outside. The flat browline adds structure, while subtle shark fin temple tips nod to vintage sport styling. Columbia's logo sits at the hinge, understated but recognizable. Stop hinges prevent the temples from scratching the lenses when folded. At 59mm lens width, 15mm bridge, and 140mm temples, the fit is generous enough for medium to large faces.

Lightweight and Prescription-Ready

Grilamid construction means these frames are both sturdy and water-resistant—they won't deform from sweat or moisture, and they flex under stress rather than snapping. The full-rim design secures the lenses firmly while keeping the overall weight low. These sunglasses are prescription-ready, so you can add single-vision or progressive lenses through your optician. All lenses provide 100% UV protection to shield your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Rectangle sunglasses like the HAZEN work especially well for round and oval face shapes, adding definition and balance. The clean lines and neutral colorways make them easy to wear with anything from trail gear to casual streetwear. Columbia eyewear is produced under license by Marchon, bringing decades of optical manufacturing expertise to a brand known for rugged outdoor performance since 1938.

Exactly What I Wanted!

I broke my Columbia sunglass frame, and needed a replacement, along with a current prescription. My optometrist said that the Columbia model was no longer available. Some searching and I found DesignerOptics! Placed the ordeer online, no muss, no fuss, and they were delivered in the tome period promised on the website. Excellent!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Columbia C505S HAZEN sunglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the Columbia C505S HAZEN is fully prescription-ready. You can have your optician fit them with single-vision, progressive, or even polarized prescription lenses. The full-rim rectangular design provides a secure lens hold, making them compatible with most prescription lens types.

What face shapes work best with the Columbia HAZEN rectangular sunglasses?

Rectangle sunglasses like the HAZEN are ideal for round and oval face shapes. The angular lines add structure and balance to softer features. They also work well for heart-shaped faces. If you have a very angular or square face, you may prefer frames with softer, more rounded edges.

What is grilamid, and why is it used in the Columbia C505S frame?

Grilamid is a high-performance thermoplastic polyamide known for its extreme lightness, flexibility, and impact resistance. It's water-resistant, won't deform from heat or sweat, and is hypoallergenic. Columbia uses injected grilamid construction in the HAZEN to create a durable, comfortable frame that's built for active outdoor use.

Do Columbia C505S HAZEN sunglasses provide UV protection?

Yes, the Columbia C505S HAZEN sunglasses provide 100% UV protection, blocking both UVA and UVB rays. This helps protect your eyes from long-term damage such as cataracts and retinal issues. The smoke and green lens tints also reduce glare while maintaining natural color clarity.

What size are the Columbia HAZEN sunglasses?

The Columbia C505S HAZEN measures 59mm lens width, 15mm bridge width, and 140mm temple length (59-15-140). This is considered a medium to large fit, suitable for most adult men. The slightly wrapped rectangular shape provides good coverage without feeling oversized.

Are Columbia sunglasses durable enough for outdoor activities?

Yes, Columbia sunglasses are specifically designed for outdoor durability. The C505S HAZEN uses injected grilamid, which offers excellent impact resistance, flexibility, and stress-crack resistance. The frames are water-resistant and built to withstand active use like hiking, cycling, and water sports without breaking or deforming.

Columbia C505S HAZEN vs. Other Columbia Sunglasses

If you're considering the Columbia C505S HAZEN, you might also be looking at other rectangular sport sunglasses from Columbia's lineup. Here's how the HAZEN compares to two similar models in our collection.

HAZEN vs. FLATLANDER (C543S)

The Columbia C543S FLATLANDER ($104.62) shares the HAZEN's rectangular sport DNA and injected frame construction. Both are prescription-ready and built for outdoor use. The main differences come down to temple styling and lens tint options. If you like the HAZEN's flat browline and shark fin temples, stick with it. If you want to explore a slightly different aesthetic within the same performance category, the FLATLANDER is worth a look. Both offer the same Columbia durability and lightweight comfort.

HAZEN vs. PIKE LAKE (C115S)

The Columbia C115S PIKE LAKE ($102.94–$138.75) offers a different frame shape while maintaining Columbia's outdoor-ready build quality. If the HAZEN's rectangular profile doesn't quite match your face shape or style preference, the PIKE LAKE gives you another option within the Columbia family. Both are prescription-ready and feature the same commitment to UV protection and durable construction. The PIKE LAKE's price range reflects additional lens and color options.

Why Choose the HAZEN?

The Columbia C505S HAZEN stands out for its classic rectangular shape, lightweight grilamid construction, and versatile styling. At $89.23–$115.75, it's competitively priced within Columbia's lineup. The slightly wrapped profile provides excellent peripheral sun protection, making it especially practical for hiking, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Customer reviews consistently highlight the clarity of the lenses and the comfortable, lightweight feel. If you have a round or oval face and want a reliable, prescription-ready sport sunglass that works from trail to town, the HAZEN delivers.
