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 sportive design of the Diego features a patented ventilation system enabling moisture to escape quickly to prevent fogging. Ideally suited for the next fishing trip into the tropics and in case it’s getting steamy when fighting a giant fish ;) The frame and side pieces are made of durable yet super lightweight nylon-composite material. Flexible hinges provide comfortable fit and successfully eliminate bothering pressure. The rubberized nose and side pads further increase comfort and prevent the glasses from slipping and sliding down your nose. Patented 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.
Gold Mirror:
The new Gold Mirror lenses are highly versatile. They are equally suitable for fishing in rivers, lakes, or coastal waters. Many guides rely on the outstanding performance of gold-tinted lenses under changing light conditions and also use the copper-colored glass for saltwater fishing. The 580 Gold was designed with lower light transmission (Visible Light Transmission, VLT), offering enhanced versatility across a wide range of lighting conditions—whether on the water in bright sunlight or on a cloudy day. This makes it the perfect companion when looking for a single pair of polarized sunglasses. Another distinguishing feature of these lenses is the characteristic gold mirror coating, inspired by the golden hour after sunrise;).
580G lenses:
Costa's patented 580G lenses are made from the highest quality genuine glass. They are unsurpassed in terms of image performance, brilliance and clarity and are also 20% thinner and 22% lighter in direct comparison to conventional lenses with polarising filters.

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