Costa Polarized Glasses Grand Catalina Matte Black (Green Mirror 580G)
Costa polarizing 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 large selection of frames and tints offers the right model for every fly fisherman!
The Grand Catalina polarized sunglasses by Costa are designed to give anglers the ultimate advantage on the water. The sunglasses are purely functional, with a glare shield that prevents sunlight from entering from the sides. Additionally, the frame and nose pads feature ventilation holes, making it almost impossible for the lenses to fog up in changing temperatures or after physical exertion! The entire construction provides ideal coverage against the sun and annoying light when spotting fish, while also ensuring sufficient air circulation to prevent fogging. Moreover, the Grand Catalina comes in a timeless style that suits every angler. These sunglasses are not only functional but also stylish! Furthermore, the sunglasses naturally feature rubberized nose pads, so they won't slip even on wet skin. Optimal for fishing and other outdoor activities on and around the water.
- Green Mirror:
As with all Costa lenses, the polarization effect of this tint is impressive! The green mirrored glass is an all-rounder for saltwater and excellent for sight fishing when it comes to spotting bonefish, permit and co. on the flats early. The biggest advantage of this tint is that contrasts are noticeably enhanced, which not only helps you spot the bright fish on the bright bottom, but also makes it easier to spot structure. For domestic fishing, this tint is great on the coast for sea trout as well as on lakes for pike and other predators. Overall, slightly brighter than the 'Blue Mirror' lenses also recommended for saltwater.

Costa's patented 580G glasses are made of the highest quality real glass. They are unsurpassed in performance, brilliance and clarity, and are 20% thinner and 22% lighter than conventional polarized lenses.
