Costa Del Mar labels its widest lens fronts L, XL, or Pro, and only that subset actually fits a large head comfortably — which naturally narrows this list to 8 real, currently sold frames rather than a padded ten. Prices below are checked this session across Costa’s own site and authorized retailers, and run roughly $200-$310 depending on lens material.

Buying tips
- Costa’s own size guide is worth checking before buying — L, XL, and XXL refer to lens front width and frame width, not a universal small/medium/large scale, so the same letter means a different measurement on different frame shapes.
- 580G (glass) lenses cost more than 580P (plastic/polycarbonate) across every frame here — glass gives sharper optics and better scratch resistance, but plastic is lighter and cheaper if that’s not a priority for you.
- If a frame is discontinued, Costa retires styles regularly — buying from Costa’s own site or a listed authorized dealer (rather than an unverified marketplace listing) is the safest way to confirm you’re getting a current, warrantied frame.
