Product Overview
Virtually indestructible. Superior contrast and color. Slip-resistant.
Soon to be your favorite fishing gear.
Ever notice the sunglasses the angler is wearing standing next to the trophy fish in those almost-obligatory pictures? Neither do we. However, without good sunglasses the fish story would probably be just that. A fish story. That's where your new pair of Costa Harpoon Polarized Sunglasses come in. Their heavy-duty TR-90 nylon frames made with resin from the castor plant are almost indestructible. This bio-based resin offers a 70% reduction in emissions over petroleum-based resin, helping to reduce the overall carbon footprint. The 100% polarized, scratch-resistant 580G Lightwave glass lenses ensure you'll see structure, cover, even the fish before your catch becomes just a swirl. Hydrolite nose and temple pads are up to the task of keeping your shades securely on your face. Although, if you want to be extra sure they don't end up at the bottom of the Intracoastal, a neoprene retainer or leash (sold separately) is inexpensive insurance. Blue mirrored lenses are the way to go for offshore use with bright, full sun on open reflective water. Green mirrored lenses enhance your vision and provide high contrast for sight fishing in full sun inshore and on the flats. And just maybe, your sunglasses will be the ones that get noticed next time.
