Vision redefined.

Yellow light is the enemy, on the water and on land. Costa 580 lenses use patented technology to cut down on the yellow light, allowing the eye to see more red, blue and green. Simply put, they're the most advanced glare-beating polarized sun lenses on the planet, and they'll change the way you see, period. Performance is in the details, and here are the goods on 580:

  • the yellow light near 580 nanometers is particularly difficult for the eye to process - so we block it
  • they offer sharper contrast, better definition and enhanced colors in any environment
  • backed by U.S. Patents 6,334,680 and 6,604,824, so the other guys don't have it and can't touch it
  • available in gray, copper, blue mirror, green mirror and silver mirror

Costa 580 lenses block light that falls around 580 nanometers in the light spectrum. (In the chart here, that's the harsh yellow stuff.) And they turn up the visual volume of the red, blue and green areas. (Again, see the chart.) This is patented tech you'll only find in COSTA 580 lenses. The outdoor world has never looked better.
Some of our closes friends have been wearing Costa 580 lenses ever since they came out. (They're also some of the guides and pros who showed us what "Wild Florida" means to them.) They were also kind enough to tell us what they thought of these cutting-edge lenses.


Captain Jose Wejebe
"My work depends on being able to separate fish and targets both in the water and in the air. The 580 Copper lenses eliminate glare and enhance color and contrast, letting me see everything so much better. And at the end of the day, my eyes are still fresh, even if the rest of my body is exhausted."

Bryan and Greg Watts
"On the flats, Greg and I have got to be able to pick the greens and bronzes of a redfish out of the grasses and beds. With Costa 580 lenses, the fish just pop out. It feels like we've got an unfair advantage, but we'll take whatever advantage we can get."

Kristy Murphy
"Okay, so most people don't think surfing and sunglasses go together. But the fact is, when I stand on the beach with my 580s on, I can see what's going on in the water before I even paddle out. Glare is gone, the color and clarity are perfect, and they give me an advantage before I even hit the line-up."



Chico Fernandez
"When you're working the flats, you have to be able to see the fish before he sees you. Costa's 580 lenses reduce glare and block yellow light so well, sometimes I'll see a fish before the guide sees it from the poling platform."
Captain Blair Wiggins
Costa has really stepped it up with the new 580 lenses. They're lightweight and cover all the color ranges an angler needs. They let me sight-fish like never before, and they're so light I can wear them all day long and forget they're on.
The glass is flawless, which is key when you make your living on the water."




Captain Ricky Murphy
"The first time I put on a pair of 580s and saw a bonefish cruising the slats, it freaked me out! I didn't know what it was at first, because I'd never seen a bonefish like that."
Captain Ray Rosher
"I have tried many types of sunglasses, but when it comes to seeing fish either on the surface or down deep, none work as well as the Costa 580s. I can honestly say that they've helped us win tournaments!"
