Blue Mirror:
As is true for all Costa lenses the polarization effect of the ´Green Mirror´ lenses is truly impressive! Costas blue mirrored lenses are highly popular among blue water (open sea) fishermen and for brightest days to block hard sun light. The lenses offer advantageous optics and vastly enhance contrast enabling you to spot cruising fish on bright substrate effortlessly and in time. Not only fish but also interesting structures pop out way more clear and defined compared to other lenses or the naked eye. Back home these green lenses do a great job when fishing the coastlines of the Baltic Sea for sea trout or big lakes for predators such as pike. In general, blue mirror are one of the darkest glasses to fish with.
