Green Mirror:
Like all Costa lenses, the polarization effect of this tint is impressive! The green-mirrored glass is an all-rounder for saltwater fishing and is excellent for sight fishing, helping you spot bonefish, permit, and other species early on the flats. The biggest advantage of this tint is its ability to enhance contrasts significantly, making it easier for you to detect bright fish on light-colored ground and recognize underwater structures more easily. For local fishing, this tint is ideal for sea trout along the coast as well as for targeting pike and other predators in lakes. It is slightly brighter than the ‘Blue Mirror’ lenses, which are also recommended for saltwater use.

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