Costa Polarized Glasses Clipperton Matte Black (Green Mirror 580P)
Costas polarized sunglasses are since many years the choice of professional guides and fly fishers around the world. And that is for a reason - Their patented lens technologies provide extremely brilliant optics and sharp contrasts that will boost your fishing experience in both salt- and fresh water. Costa glasses come in a wide variety of different frame styles and lens colors for everyone to find a perfectly matching pair. No matter the setting or fishing situation!
The Costa Clipperton polarized sunglasses are undoubtedly among the technical eyewear designed for fishing. Although it may not be immediately apparent, the classic design of the Clipperton features a perfectly shaped frame that fits closely to the face. This maximum coverage minimizes distracting light from the sides and enhances the polarization effect to the fullest. Additionally, the Clipperton is equipped with Hydrolite inserts on the temples and nose pads. These rubberized areas provide excellent grip and comfort, ensuring that you can fully focus on fishing without worrying about losing your sunglasses.
Green Mirror Lenses:
The Green Mirror lenses are an all-around performer for saltwater and ideal for sight fishing. When it comes to spotting Bonefish, Permit, etc. on the Flats, before it’s too late, it is imperative to have the best polarized glasses. The biggest advantage of this tint is that contrasts are noticeably enhanced, making it easier for you not only to see the bright fish on the light ground but also to make structure easier to spot. In local fishing, this tint also excels on the coast for Sea Trout and at the lake for Pike and other predators. Overall, these lenses are a bit lighter than the 'Blue Mirror' lenses which are often recommended for saltwater, giving them a bit more versatility.
580P Lenses:
Costa's patented 580P lenses are made from durable polycarbonate and Trivex. This makes them especially lightweight, providing you with the best comfort for a long day on the water. The patented molecular bond C-WALL® also gives the lenses enormous scratch resistance, allowing you to enjoy the brilliant performance of the 580P lenses for many years.
