Costa Del Mar warranty for sunglasses
The short version
Costa Del Mar doesn't cover everything, but keeps whole product and prescription frames and lenses covered to 2 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 12 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Costa Del Mar's published warranty, checked October 2026.

- Out-of-warranty damage can be fixed through Costa's paid repair program ($18 plus parts).
