Costa Del Mar sunglasses, often simply referred to as Costa glasses, are popular polarized sunglasses that are particularly designed for fishing and out aquatic/outdoor recreation. They are designed for visual performance and durability in the most challenging environments. The following information will help you to decide if these sunglasses are right for you and which pair you should buy.
580 Color Enhancing Lens Technology
Whether you are fishing or participating in any other outdoor activity, being able to see clearly is important. However, sunglasses have long had a history of distorting colors. With Costa’s 580 color-enhancing lens technology, you will be able to see better than ever. These lenses filter out harsh yellows and enhance reds, greens and blues (while also blocking HEV light). They help you see all the fish in the sea as well as the rest of nature’s beauty more clearly.
Lens Material Options
You can choose from a few different lens options when you buy Costa Del Mar sunglasses. These are the two major material choices:
- Lightwave Glass: This glass-based material offers the best clarity as well as scratch-proof encapsulated mirrors. They are thinner and lighter than average polarized glasses. By using a layered design, Lightwave Glass can provide superior characteristics compared to normal glass lenses.
- Polycarbonate/Trivex: For ultralightweight and strong lenses, consider the polycarbonate (plus prescription Trivex) lenses. They are very durable and scratch resistant. There is an optional mirrored layer included.
Popular Lens Colors
Although performance is an important part of sunglasses, so is style. With Costa, you can choose from a variety of lens colors. These include blue mirror, green mirror, gray, copper silver mirror, sunrise silver mirror, gray silver mirror and copper.
Different colors are well-suited for specific activities. For example, the blue mirror lenses are great for fishing on open, reflective water. The gray lenses are designed for everyday activities. Sunrise silver mirror lenses are intended for low-light activities.
Sunglasses Features
Costa Del Mar remains a popular brand thanks to the excellent construction and innovative yet practical features. For example, many of their models are designed with side ventilation to help prevent fogging and manage sweat.
Options for a Comfortable Fit
The glasses are designed with rubber nose and temple pads. They are also carefully crafted to offer a good fit for a wide range of head shapes. The Costa team’s goal has always been to offer super-comfortable glasses. This is supported by the lightweight construction. You can easily forget that you are wearing sunglasses at all, even during all-day use.
The excellent fit also helps to ensure that the glasses will stay in place. When you are fishing or otherwise enjoying the outdoors, knowing that your glasses will stay on your face is always a plus.
Multiple Frame Materials Available
There are a few different material options for your frames. These are the options you need to know about:
- Bio-Based Nylon: With this co-injected, bio-based nylon material, your glasses will be lightweight and extremely strong. This is the most common material for Costa prescription sunglasses and non-prescription models.
- Acetate: Many people enjoy the warm, luxurious feel of acetate. It is strong, light and hypoallergenic. It is ideal for layered designs with rich colors.
- Metal: Glasses have always had metal frames as an option. With marine-grade, corrosion-resistant Monel and titanium frames, Costa offered metal glasses that are ready for aquatic use.
- Combination: With nylon, acetate and metal, these frames offer a great combination of durability, performance and style.
- Rimless: Some people love the look of rimless glasses. You can find these in a few of the above material options. They are ultra-light and look great.
Robust Hinges
Hinges are the literal weak point of many glasses. Thus, Costa has invested time and effort into making the most robust hinges possible. They keep their shape and ensure a consistent, comfortable fit. No matter where you take your sunglasses, you can be confident that they will stay in excellent condition. The frames may feature integral, optical spring, snap or five-barrel optical hinges. No matter what you choose, you will love the look and feel of your sunglasses.
