Established in 1983, Costa has been a longtime staple out on the water — watermen have sought out the brand for its lens tech, comfort and reliability for 42 years. This year, Costa has taken its best-selling model, Rincon, and imbued it with innovative upgrades designed to keep you adventuring further, for longer. The Rincon II is a technical innovation with the same beloved aesthetic; here’s everything you need to know about these new sunnies.
Enhanced Versatility
While Costa kept the same profile of the Rincon, the team added in four key technical upgrades that will make a real difference in everyday wear on and off the water. New micro side shields and hooding help reduce glare, minimize light leaks, and increase protection from the elements on the water.
Vented nose pads increase ventilation across the frame, which comes in handy to reduce fogging on those hot and muggy days — or when you’re working up a sweat. Finally, one of the most important and practical upgrades the Rincon II received was the transition from using spot glued rubber to double injected Hydrolite® rubber: This switch in materials and construction heightens the durability of your Rincon II, which will last with even the toughest treatment.
CostaPremium Pairing
Along with its new features and construction, the Rincon II has some additional technical tricks up its sleeve. The sunglasses feature Costa’s premium polarized 580® lenses, which are designed to cut reflective glare — a feature that is practically essential on water, and handy on land.
The 580® lenses featured in Rincon II also offer 99.9 percent UV protection, prioritizing light management and protection from harsh rays. Finally, the newly upgraded sunnies include lenses with a C-Wall bond, which provides enhanced scratch-resistance, and also repels water, oil and sweat for simplified cleaning.
CostaBuilt For Adventure
If you’re a Costa fan but need an upgrade for this summer’s adventures on the water, you won’t have to look for another brand to satisfy your innovative cravings: the new Rincon II is durable, easy to wear and built to handle all the journeys you have planned.
With its new utility and familiar style, the Rincon II is a modern upgrade to a well-loved classic.
