The Costa Del Mar Paunch XL 9050 sunglasses bring surf-inspired style and serious optical performance to your days on and off the water. Named after the legendary surf break in the Bocas del Toro archipelago of Panama, these square polarized sunglasses for men deliver the XL fit that anglers, surfers, and outdoor enthusiasts with wider faces have been asking for.
Every pair of Paunch XL sunglasses features Costa’s proprietary 580 lens technology—the innovation that filters harmful light at 580 nanometers to enhance reds, greens, and blues while cutting harsh yellow light and absorbing high-energy visible (HEV) blue light. The result is sharper contrast, reduced haze, and colors that pop whether you’re scanning the flats for tailing fish or watching the horizon from the beach.
You can choose between two lens materials. 580G glass lenses offer superior optical clarity and are virtually scratch-proof, with mirrors encapsulated between layers of glass—ideal if you prioritize the crispest vision and maximum durability. 580P polycarbonate lenses are lighter and more impact-resistant, featuring Costa’s C-Wall coating for added scratch protection. Both deliver 100% UV protection and 99.9% polarization efficiency to kill reflected glare.
The Paunch XL frame is constructed from Costa’s eco-friendly Bio-Resin material—lightweight, durable, and designed to hold its shape through salt spray, sweat, and sun. Integrated metal hinges provide lasting strength, while the textured Hydrolite nose pads and temple tips actually grip better when wet, so your sunglasses stay put during long days on the boat or in the surf. Interior temple sculpting inspired by boat hull strakes adds a subtle design detail that nods to Costa’s roots in the fishing world.
The wide, square lens shape provides excellent coverage and a modern look that works equally well at the dock or downtown. The Paunch XL is prescription-ready, so you don’t have to choose between clear vision and sun protection.
Available in multiple colorways including matte black, havana tortoise, and fog gray frames paired with lens options ranging from green mirror and blue mirror to copper silver mirror and gray—each optimized for different light conditions and activities.
