Costa Polarized Glasses Permit Matte Black (Green Mirror 580G)
Costa polarized sunglasses have been highly valued by professional guides for many years. The brilliance and optical performance of these patented lenses have gained a loyal following worldwide in both freshwater and saltwater environments. With a wide selection of frames and tints, every fly fisherman can find the perfect model!
The sporty design of the Costa 'Permit' features a patented ventilation system that quickly allows moisture to escape, preventing the lenses from fogging up—even when wearing a Buff. Ideal for a trip to the tropics, warm summer days, or when you're battling a monster fish and breaking a sweat. The frame and temples are crafted from an ultra-light yet highly durable nylon composite material. Thanks to flexible hinges, the pressure of the temples adapts to your head shape. Additionally, the rubberized nose and temple pads made from exclusive Hydrolite™ ensure exceptional comfort and a perfect fit. The patented lenses offer maximum protection against aggressive UV radiation and significantly reduce glare from the water surface, preventing eye fatigue.
Green Mirror:
As with all Costa lenses, the polarization effect of this tint is impressive! The green-mirrored lens is a true all-rounder for saltwater fishing and is excellent for sight fishing when it comes to spotting bonefish, permit, and other species early on the flats. The biggest advantage of this tint is that it significantly enhances contrasts, allowing you to see bright fish against a bright bottom more clearly and making it easier to identify structures. For local fishing, this tint is great for sea trout along the coast as well as for pike and other predators in lakes. Overall, it is slightly brighter than the 'Blue Mirror' lenses, which are also recommended for saltwater fishing.

Costa’s patented 580G lenses are made from the highest-quality real glass. They deliver unmatched optical clarity, brilliance, and sharpness. Compared to conventional polarized lenses, they are also 20% thinner and 22% lighter.
