The Costa Del Mar Caballito 9025 sunglasses deliver Costa's legendary 580 lens technology in a rectangular frame designed for those with narrower faces. Part of Costa's Voyager collection, these prescription-ready polarized sunglasses are built for beachcombers, bridge jumpers, and anyone who spends their days exploring sand, surf, and open water.
Costa 580 Lens Technology: Color-Enhancing Polarization
The Caballito's defining feature is Costa's patented 580 lens system, available in both polycarbonate (580P) and glass (580G) versions. This multi-patented technology filters out harsh yellow light at 580 nanometers while blocking 100% of UV rays and high-energy visible (HEV) blue light. The result? Reds, greens, and blues pop naturally, giving you sharper contrast and superior definition whether you're sight-fishing shallow flats or navigating a sun-drenched trail.
Choose 580P polycarbonate lenses for lightweight, impact-resistant durability—ideal for active days when you need sunglasses that can take a hit. The C-Wall coating adds scratch resistance beyond typical polycarbonate. Or opt for 580G glass lenses, which are 20% thinner and 22% lighter than average polarized glass, offering exceptional clarity and superior scratch resistance for those who prioritize optical precision.
Narrow Fit, Maximum Coverage
The Caballito features a small lens front (59mm width, 15mm bridge, 134mm temples) specifically designed for slightly narrow heads. The 8-base wrap and maximum-coverage design help reduce light leak from the sides, while Hydrolite™ nose pads keep the frames secure and comfortable even when you're sweating. Flexible integral hinges add durability without bulk.
The heavy-duty nylon frame construction balances toughness with all-day comfort. Available in multiple frame colors—from classic shiny black and tortoise to eye-catching matte Caribbean fade and the limited-edition OCEARCH Tiger Shark collaboration—there's a Caballito to match your style.
Prescription-Ready Performance
These frames accept prescription lenses, so you don't have to choose between clear vision and Costa's color-enhancing polarization. Whether you need single-vision or progressive lenses, the Caballito can be customized to your exact prescription.
From bright offshore conditions with blue mirror lenses to variable light with copper tints, the Caballito adapts to how you see the world. It's a go-anywhere frame that doesn't compromise on the details that matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Costa Caballito 9025 sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Costa Caballito 9025 frames are prescription-ready and can accommodate both single-vision and progressive prescription lenses. Most Costa frames, including the Caballito, can be customized with your prescription while maintaining the same 580 lens technology, polarization, and UV protection. You'll need to work with an authorized Costa prescription dealer to add your lenses.
What is the difference between Costa 580P and 580G lenses?
The 580P lenses are made of lightweight polycarbonate, making them more impact-resistant and about $50 less expensive than glass. The 580G lenses are made of glass and offer superior optical clarity and better scratch resistance, though they're slightly heavier. Both lens types feature the same 580 color-enhancement technology, 100% UV protection, and polarization. Choose 580P for active sports and all-day comfort, or 580G for maximum clarity and scratch resistance.
What size face do the Costa Caballito sunglasses fit?
The Costa Caballito features a narrow fit designed for those with slightly narrow heads or smaller faces. The frame measures 59mm lens width, 15mm bridge width, and 134mm temple length. Costa officially categorizes this as a small lens front with a narrow frame fit, making it ideal for people who find larger Costa models like the Blackfin or Fantail too big.
Do Costa Caballito sunglasses have 100% UV protection?
Yes, all Costa Caballito sunglasses provide 100% protection from UVA, UVB, and UVC rays (up to 400nm). Additionally, the 580 lens technology absorbs high-energy visible (HEV) blue light, which can cause eye strain and long-term damage. Every Costa lens is also fully polarized to eliminate reflected glare, making them excellent for water sports and bright outdoor conditions.
What is Costa's 580 lens technology?
Costa's 580 lens technology is a multi-patented system that filters out harsh yellow light at 580 nanometers on the visible light spectrum. This filtering enhances reds, greens, and blues naturally, providing superior color contrast and definition. The technology also blocks 100% of UV light and absorbs HEV (high-energy visible) blue light known to cause macular degeneration and other eye conditions. It's combined with full polarization to eliminate glare.
How does the Costa Caballito compare to the Fantail?
The Caballito belongs to Costa's Voyager lifestyle collection, while the Fantail is part of the hardcore Angler series. Both share the same 580 lens technology and polarization, but the Fantail has more Hydrolite rubber coverage for extended fishing trips and a slightly larger fit. The Caballito is better suited for spontaneous beach days and casual outdoor activities, while the Fantail is designed for serious anglers who need maximum grip and performance during long days on the water.

Costa Caballito vs. Brine vs. Fantail: Which Frame Is Right for You?
If you're shopping Costa sunglasses and have a narrower face, you've likely narrowed your choices to the Caballito, Brine, or Fantail. Here's how they stack up.
Caballito vs. Brine: The Narrow-Fit Showdown
Both the Caballito 9025 and Brine 9017 are designed for smaller faces, but there are key differences. The Caballito offers a small lens front with maximum wrap coverage to reduce light leak, while the Brine tends to run even smaller—some anglers report fit issues if you're on the upper end of the "narrow" range. Both feature the same 580 lens technology and are prescription-ready, but the Caballito typically offers more frame color options and slightly better side coverage. If you're between sizes, the Caballito is the safer bet.
Caballito vs. Fantail: Lifestyle or Angler?
The Fantail 9006 is Costa's legendary fishing frame, part of the hardcore Angler series. While the Caballito belongs to the Voyager lifestyle collection, both share Costa's 580 lens technology and full polarization. The key difference? The Fantail has significantly more Hydrolite rubber on the temples and nose pads, making it ideal for extended fishing trips where grip matters. The Caballito is lighter, more casual, and better suited for spontaneous beach days, hiking, or everyday wear. If you're a serious angler spending 8+ hours on the water, the Fantail's extra grip justifies the higher price. For versatile outdoor use, the Caballito delivers the same optical performance in a more relaxed package.
Why Choose the Caballito?
The Caballito hits the sweet spot for customers who want Costa's proven 580 technology in a narrow-fit frame that works for both performance and lifestyle use. It's more affordable than the Fantail, offers better coverage than the Brine, and comes in a wider range of colors. If you have a smaller face and want sunglasses that transition seamlessly from the boat to the boardwalk, the Caballito 9025 is your frame.
