Costa Polarized Glasses Fantail Blackout (Blue 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 garnered a worldwide following in both fresh and saltwater environments, and the wide range of frames and tints offers the perfect model for every fly fisherman!
The sporty design of the Costa 'Fantail' allows moisture to escape quickly, preventing fogging on the inside of the lenses. Ideal for a trip to the tropics, warm summer days, or if you happen to break a sweat during the fight with a monster fish. The frames and temples are made of an extremely lightweight yet highly durable nylon composite material. Thanks to flexible hinges, the temples adjust pressure to fit your head shape. Additionally, the rubberized nose and temple pads made of exclusive Hydrolite™ ensure very comfortable wear and a perfect fit. The patented 580P lenses provide your eyes with maximum protection against aggressive UV radiation and reduce light reflections on the water surface that can tire your eyes.
- Blue Mirror:
As with all Costa lenses, the polarization effect of these tints is impressive! The blue-mirrored glass is excellent for fishing on open water when the sun reflects particularly strongly. Moreover, blue- and green-mirrored lenses are very popular for sight fishing in saltwater, especially when it comes to spotting bonefish, permit, and others on the flats early. The biggest advantage of these tints is that contrasts are noticeably enhanced, allowing you to not only spot bright fish against a bright background but also identify structures more easily. For local fishing, these tints are equally suitable for coastal sea trout as well as for pike and other predators in lakes. Overall, the blue-mirrored lenses are slightly darker.
- 580P Lenses:
Costa's patented 580P lenses are made of durable polycarbonate and Trivex, making them exceptionally lightweight and providing you with the best comfort for a long day on the water. The patented molecular compound C-WALL® also gives the lenses enormous scratch resistance, allowing you to enjoy the brilliant imaging performance of the 580P lenses for many years to come.
