Costa Polarized Glasses Lido Matte Tortoise (Gold Mirror 580G)
Costa polarized sunglasses have been highly valued not only by professional guides for many years. The brilliance and imaging performance of these patented lenses have gained many followers worldwide in both freshwater and saltwater environments. The wide selection of frames and tints offers the perfect model for every fly fisher.
The Costa Polarized Sunglasses Lido are ready for any adventure, whether surfing, everyday life, or, of course, fishing. The focus of the frame is clearly on combining style and performance—it not only looks sporty and stylish but also features elements that help anglers better spot fish. A major advantage of the Lido is the side shields, which prevent light from entering from the sides, ensuring that the polarization effect remains uncompromised. The Hydro-Lite nose pads and temple tips provide an exceptional grip, even on wet skin, ensuring a secure fit.
Gold Mirror:
The new Gold Mirror lenses are highly versatile. They are equally suitable for fishing in rivers, lakes, or coastal waters. Many guides rely on the outstanding performance of gold-tinted lenses under changing light conditions and also use the copper-colored glass for saltwater fishing. The 580 Gold was designed with lower light transmission (Visible Light Transmission, VLT), offering enhanced versatility across a wide range of lighting conditions—whether on the water in bright sunlight or on a cloudy day. This makes it the perfect companion when looking for a single pair of polarized sunglasses. Another distinguishing feature of these lenses is the characteristic gold mirror coating, inspired by the golden hour after sunrise.
