The Costa Del Mar Taxman 9116 sunglasses deliver serious performance for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts who demand maximum coverage and uncompromising optical clarity. Part of Costa’s Pathfinder Series, the Taxman features an oversized rectangular frame designed for wide faces, offering full wrap protection against sun, wind, and glare on the water.
Every Taxman frame comes equipped with Costa’s patented 580 polarized lenses—available in both 580G glass and 580P polycarbonate. The 580 technology filters out harsh yellow light at 580 nanometers and absorbs harmful high-energy blue (HEV) light, enhancing reds, greens, and blues for superior color definition and contrast. This means you’ll spot fish in shallow water, read the surface, and navigate changing light conditions with crystal clarity.
Choose 580G glass lenses for the ultimate in optical clarity and scratch resistance—20% thinner and 22% lighter than standard polarized glass. The 580P polycarbonate option offers impact resistance and all-day comfort at a lighter weight. Both provide 100% UV protection and Costa’s C-Wall coating, which repels water, oil, and sweat for easy cleaning.
The Taxman’s bio-resin frame construction balances durability with comfort. Vented adjustable nose pads promote airflow to minimize fogging, while integrated sweat management channels direct moisture away from your eyes and lenses. Hydrolite rubber grips on the nose and temples become tackier when wet, preventing slippage during intense activity.
Oversized temples with integrated side shields block peripheral light—critical when you’re sight-fishing or scanning the flats. The wide fit (59mm lens width, 16mm bridge) accommodates medium to large heads comfortably, and the full-rim rectangular shape provides maximum lens coverage without sacrificing style.
The Taxman is prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx and enjoy Costa’s legendary lens technology with your exact vision correction. Available in 13 frame and lens combinations—including matte black, grey, and tortoise frames paired with blue mirror, green mirror, sunrise silver mirror, gold mirror, and gray lenses—there’s a Taxman configuration for every light condition and personal style.
Whether you’re offshore chasing big game, working inshore flats, or spending long days on the boat, the Costa Del Mar Taxman 9116 sunglasses are engineered to perform when it matters most.
