Costa Polarized Glasses Jose Pro Matte Tortoise (Green 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.
Green Mirror:
Like all Costa lenses, the polarization effect of this tint is impressive! The green-mirrored lens is an all-rounder for saltwater fishing and is ideal for sight fishing when spotting bonefish, permit, and other species on the flats. The biggest advantage of this tint is its noticeable contrast enhancement, allowing you to see light-colored fish on a bright seabed more clearly and identify structures more easily. For domestic fishing, this tint is perfect for targeting sea trout along the coast or pike and other predators in lakes. It is slightly brighter than the also saltwater-recommended 'Blue Mirror' lenses.

Costa's patented 580G lenses are made from the highest quality real glass. They are unmatched in imaging performance, brilliance, and clarity. Compared to conventional polarized lenses, they are also 20% thinner and 22% lighter. The patented molecular bonding C-WALL® gives the lenses exceptional scratch resistance, ensuring you can enjoy your 580G lenses for many years.
