Blackfin vs Blackfin Pro

Posted by Nick Sand on

The Costa Del Mar Blackfin and Blackfin Pro are both extremely popular sunglasses, but they have some differences. The Blackfin is a larger, more traditional frame, while the Blackfin Pro is a smaller, more modern frame. The Blackfin has a 62mm lens width, while the Blackfin Pro has a 60mm lens width. The Blackfin also has a slightly larger lens height then its newer Pro version.

Here is a more detailed comparison of the two sunglasses:

Ultimately, the best choice for you will depend on your personal preferences. If you prefer a smaller, more modern frame, then the Blackfin Pro is a great option. If you prefer a larger, more traditional frame, then the Blackfin will be perfect for you.

Which Should You Choose?

Here's the quick takeaway: the Blackfin is the go-to for a classic, slightly roomier fit — great if you want a bold, traditional look. The Blackfin Pro steps it up with fully-adjustable nose pads and a metal keeper for a more tailored, performance-ready fit. Both are built from Costa's bio-resin and offer the same legendary 580 lens technology — the difference is in the fit and feel.
