Rip Curl RC2009 vs. Other Rip Curl Rectangle Frames
If you're considering the RC2009, you might also be looking at other Rip Curl eyeglasses in the same collection. Here's how the RC2009 compares to similar models.
RC2009 vs. RC2019
Both frames use the same TR90 thermoplastic material and offer similar durability and lightweight comfort. The RC2019 is priced slightly lower ($95.70-$99.92) and may appeal if you prefer a different temple design or color scheme. Both are prescription-ready with full-rim construction, so your choice comes down to style preference and which measurements fit your face better.
RC2009 vs. RC2060
The RC2060 sits at the same $99.92 price point as the RC2009 and shares the TR90 construction. The key difference is in the frame styling—the RC2060 may have a different temple design or front shape. If you like the Rip Curl brand's surf-inspired aesthetic and TR90 benefits but want to compare styles, these two are worth trying side by side.
Why Choose the RC2009?
The RC2009 stands out with its bold contrast temple colors (red, green, or blue accents on matte black). If you want a frame that adds a pop of color while maintaining the durability and comfort of TR90, the RC2009 delivers. The 53-18-140 sizing works well for medium to larger faces, and the rectangle shape is a proven winner for round and oval face shapes.
