For years, Costa’s polarized sunglasses have been a staple for world-class guides and everyday anglers alike - all around the world. The color brilliance and clarity performance of these patented glasses have earned many fans of both salt and freshwater fishing. With a wide variety of frames and tints, there is a model for every fly fisherman, whether they’re chasing Golden Dorado in Bolivia or Sea Trout on the Baltic Sea.
Costa Aransas sunglasses feature a classic look with a rectangular shape and great eye coverage - a great design for any place and any activity. Regardless whether you are hitting the flats with your rod in hand or the beach while sipping a cocktail, the Aransas is always a nice choice. The frame and temples are made of acetate which is known for its comfortable wear and skin-friendly performance. Patented, 580G lenses offer maximum protection against aggressive UV-radiation and reduce light reflections of the water surface for clear vision and to minimize eye fatigue – even on long days out on the water!
Grey Lenses:
The grey tone lenses display colors genuinely and therefore offer a very natural, comfortable vision – a favorite for long sessions on the water. Due to their relatively dark tone, these lenses are best suited for bright, sunny days with high light intensity which is why they are considered a number one choice for water sports of all kinds. Ideal for big water bodies like lakes, the coast or offshore.
580G Glass Lens Material:
The patented 580G lenses are produced with the highest quality, real glass. They outperform plastic lenses in terms of image quality, brilliance and clarity. They are also 20% thinner and 22% lighter than common polarized lenses. The patented C-WALL® molecular-bonding technology provides the lenses with enormous scratch resistance for long lasting brilliant optics.

On adh-world we explain how polarized sunglasses work and what to keep in mind when purchasing a new pair.
