As a person that has what a good friend of mine calls an affliction for "junky old rods and reels" there is one thing that is still important to have on the water and that's a solid pair of polorized glasses. While fly tackle from fifty years ago is still quite enjoyable to fish they certainly didn't know to as much about polarized sunglasses back then as they do now.
Earlier in the year Costa sent a pair of Zane 580's to demo and needless to say I have been quite impressed. This was my first experience with Costa and the 580 lenses are a huge step forward from anything that I have ever used on the water. All the hype on the 580 lenses is well deserved.
Over the past six months I've used the Zane 580's on lakes, rivers, ponds, and oceans and have been astounded over and over by the optical clarity that these glasses have. The glass 580 lenses give these shades a nice heft and the heavy duty plastic frames are a great shape and comfortable to wear for long periods of time on the water.
When the Zane 580's first arrived I set them aside to use only on fly fishing trips but lately have found myself wearing them on a daily basis. These Zane 580's are just a great pair of glasses and I am wearing them off the water as much as on.
If you are going to make an investment into a high end pair of polarized sunglasses, and surely dropping a couple bills on a pair of shades is just that, then you should give the Costa line up a definite look. There is a style for most everyone and the Costa website gives you the ability to chose frame style and lens to your liking.
Finally, don't discount researching what lens color will work best for the water that you're on most. Trout anglers fishing freestone streams may want a different color lens than someone fishing tidal marshes or bluewater. Costa offers something for everyone and the water they fish most.
Look for future Costa related reviews on T.F.M. since Mrs. Manifesto has recently started wearing a pair of Bonita 580's and I'll be demoing a pair of glasses with the soon to be released 580P lenses soon as well.
