Costa Polarized Glasses Broadbill II Matte Black (Gold Mirror 580G)
The Costa Polarized Sunglasses Broadbill II combine a stylish design with sophisticated technology for optimal polarization effects. These sunglasses can be worn both for fishing and everyday activities. The lightweight Broadbill II frame not only offers a practical design but also the perfect geometry to ensure ideal shielding. This reduces stray light from entering the lenses from the sides, maintaining the filter effect. At the same time, the construction provides optimal ventilation – even the nose pads have ventilation – minimizing fogging caused by perspiration, even during movement. A perfect balance between function and style.
For many years, Costa polarized sunglasses have been highly valued not only by professional guides. The brilliance and imaging performance of these patented lenses have gained many followers worldwide in both freshwater and saltwater environments. The wide selection of frames and tints ensures that every fly fisherman can find the perfect model.
Gold Mirror:
The new Gold Mirror lenses are extremely versatile. They are just as suitable for fishing in rivers as they are for lakes or coastal areas. Many guides rely on Gold's outstanding performance under changing light conditions and also use the copper-colored lens for saltwater fishing. The 580 Gold was developed with a lower Visible Light Transmission (VLT), offering enhanced versatility across a broad range of lighting conditions, whether on the water in bright sunlight or on a cloudy day. This makes it the perfect companion if you are looking for just one pair of polarized sunglasses. Another distinguishing feature of these lenses is the characteristic gold mirror coating, inspired by life after sunrise, the golden hour.

Costa's patented 580G lenses are made from the highest-quality real glass. They are unmatched in terms of imaging performance, brilliance, and clarity. Compared to conventional polarized lenses, they are also 20% thinner and 22% lighter.
