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 Ferg XL 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 overall. They are equally suitable for fishing in rivers, lakes, or coastal areas. Many guides rely on the excellent performance of gold in varying light conditions and also use the copper-colored lens for saltwater fishing. The 580 Gold has been developed with lower light transmission (Visible Light Transmission, VLT), providing improved versatility across a wide range of lighting conditions, whether on the water in bright sunlight or on a cloudy day. Therefore, it is the ideal companion for anyone 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 during the golden hour.

The patented 580G lenses are produced with highest quality real glass. They outperform plastic ones in terms of imaging quality, brilliance and clarity. Further they are 20% thinner and 22% lighter than common glasses with polarizing effect.
