Costa Polarized Glasses Taxman Matte Black (Gold Mirror 580G)
Costa polarized sunglasses have been highly valued 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 ensures that every fly fisherman can find the perfect model.
The Costa Taxman Polarized Sunglasses feature a large frame and oversized lenses for optimal shielding. The frame and lenses are designed to minimize light entry as much as possible, ensuring an ideal polarization effect. At the same time, sufficient airflow is provided to prevent fogging. Even the nose pads have ventilation holes to support circulation. Additionally, the rubberized nose pads enhance comfort. The frame's geometry is also designed to prevent caps or hats from being lifted by the frame. For a secure fit, even on wet skin, the Hydrolite rubber on the temples offers exceptional grip. Furthermore, the construction beneath the lenses and in the temples incorporates geometries that allow water and sweat to drain efficiently.
Gold Mirror:
The new Gold Mirror lenses are highly versatile and can be used in a variety of environments, from flowing waters to lakes and coastal areas. Many guides rely on Gold's outstanding performance under changing light conditions and also use the copper-colored glass for saltwater fishing. The 580 Gold lenses were developed with lower Visible Light Transmission (VLT), providing enhanced versatility across a wide range of lighting conditions—whether on the water in bright sunlight or on a cloudy day. This makes them the perfect choice for those seeking a single pair of polarized sunglasses. Another distinguishing feature of these lenses is their signature gold mirror coating, inspired by the golden hour after sunrise.
