Costa Polarized Glasses Jose Pro Matte Black (Gold Mirror 580G)
Costa polarized sunglasses have been highly appreciated by professional guides for many years. The brilliance and imaging performance of these patented lenses have gained many fans worldwide, both in freshwater and saltwater. The wide selection of frames and tints offers the perfect model for every fly fisher!
With the Costa Jose Pro polarized sunglasses, Costa introduces the successor to its best-selling frame, Jose. The frame of the Jose Pro stands out with its technical design, which prevents side glare from entering the lens. Its snug fit against the face effectively blocks unwanted light, ensuring an excellent view on and into the water. This can only be guaranteed if enough air circulates behind this close-fitting shape, which the Jose Pro frame achieves through technical features like well-ventilated nose pads. These pads allow air to escape while preventing light from entering. This ensures that fogging of the glasses is minimized during physical exertion. For added comfort and a secure fit, the Hydrolite rubberized pads provide exceptional grip, even on wet skin.
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
