Costa Polariszed Glasses Grand Catalina Matte Black (Sunrise Silver Mirror 580G)
Costa polarizing glasses have been highly appreciated for many years, not only by professional guides. The brilliance and imaging performance of these patented lenses has found many fans worldwide in fresh and salt water and the large selection of frames and tints offers the right model for every fly fisherman!
The Grand Catalina polarized sunglasses by Costa are designed to give anglers the ultimate advantage on the water. The sunglasses are purely functional, with a glare shield that prevents sunlight from entering from the sides. Additionally, the frame and nose pads feature ventilation holes, making it almost impossible for the lenses to fog up in changing temperatures or after physical exertion! The entire construction provides ideal coverage against the sun and annoying light when spotting fish, while also ensuring sufficient air circulation to prevent fogging. Moreover, the Grand Catalina comes in a timeless style that suits every angler. These sunglasses are not only functional but also stylish! Furthermore, the sunglasses naturally feature rubberized nose pads, so they won't slip even on wet skin. Optimal for fishing and other outdoor activities on and around the water.
- Sunrise Silver Mirror:
As in all Costa lenses the polarization effect of the ´Sunrise Silver Mirror´ lens color is nothing short of impressive! The yellow tone glass is especially suited for the prime time fishing in dusk and dawn situations. Generally these lenses shine in low light conditions making them the ideal companion for trout fishing in streams where they allow you to locate structures and fish holding close to the bottom. Where other lenses kill to much light the ´Sunrise Silver Mirror´ offers outstanding vision during the evening hatch. Also, the mirror effect makes for great ´Hero-shots´ ;).

Costa's patented 580G glasses are made of the highest quality real glass.
