Product information "Costa Polarized Glasses Slack Tide Black/Shiny Tortoise (Green Mirror 580P)"
Costa polarised glasses have been highly appreciated for many years, and not just by professional guides. The brilliance and imaging performance of these patented glasses has found many fans in fresh and salt water worldwide and the large selection of frames and tints offers the right model for every fly fisherman!
The modern design of the Costa'Slack Tide' has a patented ventilation system that allows moisture to escape quickly, preventing the lenses from fogging up on the inside. Ideal on warm summer days or if you do work up a sweat when fighting a big fish. The frame and temples are made from an extremely lightweight yet extremely hard-wearing nylon composite material. Thanks to flexible hinges, the pressure of the temples is adapted to the shape of your head. The rubberised nose and temple pads also ensure very comfortable wear and a perfect fit. The patented lenses offer your eyes maximum protection against aggressive UV radiation and reduce light reflections on the surface of the water, which cause eye fatigue.
Green Mirror:
As with all Costa lenses, the polarisation effect of this tint is impressive! The green mirrored lens is an all-rounder for saltwater and ideal for sight fishing when it comes to spotting bonefish, permit and the like on the flats at an early stage. The biggest advantage of this tint is that contrasts are noticeably enhanced, which not only makes it easier to recognise the bright fish on the light-coloured bottom, but also makes it easier to spot structures. When fishing at home, this tint works very well both on the coast for sea trout and on lakes for pike and other predators. Slightly brighter overall than the 'Blue Mirror' lenses also recommended for saltwater.
580P lenses:
Costa's patented 580P lenses are made from hardwearing polycarbonate and Trivex. This makes them particularly lightweight and offers you the best wearing comfort for a long day on the water. The patented C-WALL® molecular compound also makes the lenses extremely scratch-resistant, so you can enjoy the brilliant clarity of the 580P lenses for many years to come.

"Polarised glasses are part of the standard equipment for fly fishing. They not only protect your eyes from stray flies and UV radiation, but also make it easier to see into the water. This makes it easier to spot fish and read the water better."
