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.
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´ ;).
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.

On adh-world we explain how polarized sunglasses work and what to keep in mind when purchasing a new pair.
„Polarized sunglasses play an important role in fly fishing. They not just protect the eye from erred flies or streamers and dangerous uv-radiation, but also reduce glare from the surface and help you spotting fish and reading the water more effectively.“
