The Costa Del Mar Saltbreak 9020 sunglasses are built for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts who need serious performance without the frills. These full-rim polarized fishing sunglasses feature a wraparound rectangular frame in bio-based nylon that's both lightweight and tough enough to handle saltwater, sun, and everything in between.
Costa 580 Lens Technology: Glass and Polycarbonate Options
Every Saltbreak comes equipped with Costa's patented 580 lens technology, available in your choice of 580G glass or 580P polycarbonate. The 580 system filters harmful light at 580 nanometers on the visible spectrum, blocking yellow light to boost reds, greens, and blues naturally. This means sharper contrast, enhanced color, and reduced eye strain whether you're sight-fishing flats or spending all day on open water.
Choose 580G glass lenses for maximum 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 technology in a more impact-resistant, lighter package. Both block 100% of UV rays and feature Costa's C-Wall coating, which repels water, oil, and sweat while adding extra scratch protection.
Lens options include Blue Mirror (10% light transmission) for open water and full sun, Green Mirror (10% VLT) for inshore and flats fishing where you need to see bottom structure, and Gray (12% VLT) for all-around use on water and land.
Built for Larger Faces and All-Day Wear
The Saltbreak is Costa's largest frame at 65mm lens width, designed specifically for anglers who find most sunglasses too tight or narrow. The wraparound 8-base curve provides maximum coverage and blocks side glare, while co-injected Hydrolite rubber at the nose pads and temples keeps the frames locked in place even when you're sweating. Integral hinges add long-term durability—feedback from the fishing community confirms these hold up season after season.
The Saltbreak is prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx and get the same performance optics tailored to your vision. Available in multiple frame colors including Matte Black, Tortoise, Silver, and specialty finishes, all paired with your choice of mirror or solid lens tints.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Costa Saltbreak sunglasses available with prescription lenses?
Yes, the Costa Saltbreak 9020 is fully prescription-ready. You can order these frames with custom prescription lenses in both 580G glass and 580P polycarbonate materials, maintaining the same polarization and UV protection as the non-prescription versions. Many optical retailers specialize in Costa prescription sunglasses and can help you configure the right lens options for your needs.
What is the difference between Costa 580G and 580P lenses?
580G lenses are made from glass and provide superior optical clarity and scratch resistance, while being 20% thinner and 22% lighter than standard polarized glass. 580P lenses are polycarbonate-based, making them more impact-resistant and lighter overall, with an added scratch-resistant coating. Both filter the same harmful light wavelengths and offer 100% UV protection, so the choice comes down to whether you prioritize absolute clarity (580G) or maximum durability and weight savings (580P).
What size head do Costa Saltbreak sunglasses fit?
The Saltbreak features a 65mm lens width, making it Costa's largest frame designed specifically for people with larger or wider faces. Multiple reviewers note these are ideal if other Costa models feel too tight at the temples or leave gaps at the sides. If you have a medium or smaller face, the Saltbreak may be too large and allow wind or side glare—consider the Fantail (59mm) or Rinconcito (58mm) instead.
Which Costa Saltbreak lens color is best for fishing?
Blue Mirror 580G (10% light transmission) is the most popular choice for open water and offshore fishing in full sun, delivering maximum contrast and glare elimination. Green Mirror (10% VLT) is better for inshore, flats, rivers, and streams where you need enhanced visual acuity to see bottom structure and fish. Gray lenses (12% VLT) are the all-around option for mixed conditions on water and land, maintaining natural color saturation.
Do Costa Saltbreak sunglasses stay on during activity?
Yes, the Saltbreak features co-injected Hydrolite rubber material at the nose pads and temple tips that absorbs sweat and prevents slipping. The wraparound design and rubberized contact points keep the frames secure during movement, jumping, and active use. Reviewers consistently mention the no-slip, "forget-they're-on" fit, though some note the thick temples may not fit standard eyewear retainer straps.
What comes included with Costa Saltbreak sunglasses?
Each pair of Costa Saltbreak sunglasses comes with a protective case, cleaning cloth, and Costa's limited 2-year manufacturer warranty. All lenses are 100% polarized with UV protection and feature the C-Wall scratch-resistant coating that repels water, oil, and sweat. The frames are constructed from bio-based nylon with integral hinges for long-lasting durability.

Costa Saltbreak vs. Fantail vs. Rinconcito: Which Costa Fishing Sunglasses Are Right for You?
All three models feature Costa's renowned 580 lens technology with polarization and 100% UV protection, but they're designed for different face sizes and fishing styles.
Choose the Saltbreak (65mm) if you have a larger or wider face and need maximum coverage for open-water fishing. The Saltbreak is Costa's biggest frame, purpose-built for anglers who find most sunglasses too tight. The full wraparound design blocks side glare better than any other Costa model, and the 8-base curve provides the most peripheral protection. Anglers on forums consistently recommend the Saltbreak for "big heads" and note the secure, no-slip fit even in rough conditions.
Choose the Fantail (59mm) if you have a medium face and want a frame that works equally well for fishing and everyday wear. The Fantail is one of Costa's best-sellers because it hits the sweet spot between performance and versatile style. It's lighter and less aggressive-looking than the Saltbreak, but still delivers full fishing-grade optics. If the Saltbreak feels too large or lets in wind at the sides, the Fantail is the answer.
Choose the Rinconcito (58mm) if you prefer a West Coast aesthetic with a straight bridge and less wraparound. The Rinconcito is the "little brother" to Costa's Rincon frame, offering a more casual look while maintaining the same bio-resin durability and 580 lens performance. It's best for small to medium faces and anglers who want Costa quality without the full-on fishing-frame appearance.
All three are available in 580G glass (maximum clarity) or 580P polycarbonate (maximum impact resistance), and all come with Costa's C-Wall scratch-resistant coating and Hydrolite no-slip components. The right choice comes down to your face size and how much coverage you need on the water.
