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.
