The Costa Del Mar Peli 4002 Sunglasses bring classic pilot style to the water. Named after the pelican and built for adventure, the Peli combines a double-bridge aviator silhouette with Costa's proven fishing and outdoor performance technology.
Costa 580 Lens Technology: See More, See Better
Every Peli frame ships with Costa's polarized 580 lenses, available in both 580G glass and 580P polycarbonate. The 580 technology blocks yellow light at 580 nanometers on the visible spectrum, naturally boosting reds, greens, and blues for sharper contrast and color definition. It also absorbs harmful high-energy visible (HEV) blue light linked to eye fatigue and long-term damage, while providing 100% UV protection.
Choose 580G glass lenses for superior optical clarity and scratch resistance—they're 20% thinner and 22% lighter than standard polarized glass. The 580P polycarbonate option delivers the same color-enhancing performance in a lighter, impact-resistant package, ideal for active use. Both lens types feature Costa's C-Wall coating, a molecular bond that resists scratches and repels water, oil, and sweat for easy cleaning on the boat or trail.
Marine-Grade Construction and Prescription-Ready Design
The Peli's full-rim metal frame is made from Monel, a corrosion-resistant alloy used in marine applications. It stands up to saltwater, sweat, and sun without corroding or losing its finish. The temples feature injected nylon tips with boat-hull inspired textures—a design detail drawn from Costa's Florida roots and commitment to life on the water.
The Peli is prescription-ready. Its 6-base lens curvature and 57mm lens width accommodate most Rx prescriptions, and the fully adjustable nose pads let you dial in a custom fit that reduces fogging and stays secure during activity. The large lens front is designed for average to larger faces, offering excellent coverage without feeling oversized.
Available in 17 frame and lens combinations—from brushed gold with green mirror 580G to gunmetal with blue mirror, rose gradient, and more—the Peli adapts to different light conditions and personal style. Whether you're sight-fishing flats, paddling coastal waters, or just need reliable sun protection with prescription lenses, the Costa Peli 4002 delivers the clarity and durability serious outdoor enthusiasts demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get prescription lenses in the Costa Peli 4002 sunglasses?
Yes, the Costa Peli 4002 is prescription-ready. The frame features a 6-base lens curvature that accommodates most prescriptions, including single-vision and progressive lenses. The metal frame can be easily adjusted by an optician for a perfect fit with your Rx lenses, and the adjustable nose pads help customize comfort and reduce fogging.
What's the difference between Costa 580G and 580P lenses?
580G lenses are made of glass and offer superior optical clarity and scratch resistance, while being 20% thinner and 22% lighter than standard polarized glass. 580P lenses are polycarbonate—lighter, more impact-resistant, and better for active sports, though slightly more prone to scratching. Both provide the same 580 color-enhancement technology, 100% UV protection, and polarization.
What size head does the Costa Peli fit?
The Costa Peli features a large lens front (57mm lens width) designed to fit those with average to larger-sized heads. The frame has a 14mm bridge and adjustable nose pads that allow you to customize the fit. The pilot/aviator style provides excellent coverage without being overly bulky.
Are Costa Peli sunglasses good for fishing and water sports?
Absolutely. The Peli is designed specifically for life on the water. The polarized 580 lenses cut glare and enhance color contrast to help you see fish and structure below the surface. The marine-grade Monel metal frame resists corrosion from saltwater, and the C-Wall coating repels water and oil for clear vision in wet conditions.
What is the C-Wall coating on Costa lenses?
C-Wall is Costa's proprietary lens coating that provides extra scratch resistance and creates a barrier that repels water, oil, and sweat. This makes the lenses easier to clean and more durable for everyday use, especially in harsh outdoor and marine environments where salt spray and debris are common.
Which lens color is best for the Costa Peli?
It depends on your activity and light conditions. Green Mirror lenses are excellent for fishing in bright, variable light and enhance contrast on the water. Blue Mirror lenses work well in offshore and open-water conditions. Gray lenses offer natural color perception for all-around use. Rose and Copper lenses enhance contrast in lower light or overcast conditions.

Costa Peli 4002 vs. Loreto 4006 vs. Piper 6003: Which Aviator Is Right for You?
Costa Del Mar makes several pilot and aviator-style sunglasses, and choosing between them comes down to fit, styling details, and personal preference. Here's how the Peli 4002 stacks up against its closest competitors in our catalog.
Peli 4002 vs. Loreto 4006
The Loreto 4006 is the Peli's closest sibling. Both feature double-bridge aviator designs, marine-grade metal frames, and Costa's 580 lens technology. The key difference is size: the Peli has a 57mm lens width versus the Loreto's 56mm, making the Peli better suited for average to larger faces. The Loreto is often marketed with more feminine color options like rose gold and palladium, while the Peli leans into nautical-inspired finishes like brushed gold and gunmetal with boat-hull temple textures. If you have a smaller face or prefer a slightly more delicate aviator look, the Loreto is an excellent choice. For maximum coverage and a bolder presence, go with the Peli.
Peli 4002 vs. Piper 6003
The Piper 6003 is another Costa aviator with a double-bridge design and prescription-ready construction. While both models offer similar lens technology and durability, the Piper has a different temple design and may fit differently depending on your face shape. The Piper's price range is slightly lower at the entry point, making it a good option if you're budget-conscious but still want Costa's proven performance. However, the Peli's boat-hull inspired textures and specific design cues make it stand out for those who want a frame that visually connects to Costa's water-sports heritage.
Why Choose the Peli 4002?
The Peli 4002 offers the best combination of coverage, style, and Costa's fishing-focused technology. Its 57mm lens provides excellent protection and field of view, the Monel metal frame resists corrosion in saltwater environments, and the boat-hull temple details give it a distinctive look that sets it apart from generic aviators. With 17 frame and lens combinations and full prescription compatibility, the Peli is versatile enough for everyday wear but purpose-built for serious time on the water.
