Costa polarisation 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 wide range of frames and tints offers the right model for every fly fisherman.
Green Mirror:
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.
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. The patented molecular compound C-WALL® gives the lenses enormous scratch resistance, so you can enjoy your 580G lenses for many years.
