Costa Del Mar 580 Lens Polarized Sunglasses

If you read my post on how to read a river, then you already know that I believe a good pair of polarized sunglasses to be and essential tool.

Now I am going to let you in on my little secret. I want to tell you about the exact glasses I use, why I use them, and why you need a pair yourself.

It doesn’t matter if you are bass fishing or fly fishing, out in some saltwater flats or cruising some shallows, a great pair of polarized glasses need to be on your eyes. Costa Del Mar makes the best pair you can buy—period.

Protect Yourself From Sun Damage

Spending time out on the water is, for many of us, our passion. It’s how we recharge our batteries and get life back in our souls.

But that time on the water can be very dangerous to your eyes. The UV rays from the sun are dangerous enough, but add to that the reflection of the sun off of the water, and we fisherman are doubly at risk.

You Can See Through The Water…

Polarized lenses have another, added benefit to an angler—they allow us to see into the water much better.

This is important no matter where or how you fish, but it is absolutely crucial if you fish on a river. In order to read a river, you have to be able to identify key characteristics that will hold fish. If you can’t make out the underwater structure like rocks, logs, and deeper pools, you will have a much harder time getting this done.

What Makes The Costa Del Mar 580 Lens Special?

With so many polarized lenses on the market, why should you buy the Costa Del Mar 580’s?

The answer has everything to do with yellow light. Yellow light is hard for your eyes to process and they distort the way your eyes interpret all of the signals they are receiving. The result is poor on water vision.

The 580 lens removes the yellow light, and raises the reds, blues and greens resulting in purer vision, sharper contrasts, and more fish in the boat. You can’t catch fish if there aren’t any there—Costa Del Mar helps take some of the guesswork off of your plate.

And if protecting your eyes, and giving you better on water vision were not enough, buying a pair of Costa Del Mar means getting their legendary service, and lifetime warranty as well. No vision company takes care of the customer quite like Costa does.

Last But Not Least…

They look good! There is nothing wrong with having a little style on the water. I wear the white tortoise shell frames, and have no problem wearing them on the river, the boat, or for my morning run.

No need to keep two pairs of glasses.
