Costa del Mar, more than just sunglasses Costa 580 lenses were designed by light spectrum experts to enhance colors because regular sunglass lenses are not suitable for fishing or boating without damaging your eyes. Costa del Mar's patented 580 technology in Florida (USA) resolves light by absorbing it and eliminating its high harmful energy, reducing haze and blurring for greater clarity. In addition to its 100% protection against UV light, 580 technology also absorbs HEV light known to cause eye degeneration, cataracts and other eye diseases. We should be aware of the role of polarized sunglasses in keeping our eyes protected from UV rays, just as we use a sunscreen to protect our skin at the beach or in the mountains.

Of the five most popular brands of polarized eyewear - Hawkers, Polaroid, Rayban, Maui Jim and Oakley - none comes close to the 580 technology Costa del Mar brings to fishing or boating.

The number 580 represents the wavelength in nanometers (nm) of annoying yellow light. A polarized sunglass is a base sun lens to which a special film is added that only blocks light coming from a certain direction. When using polarized sunglasses, the glare produced by the sun reflected on the surface is dramatically reduced and vision is improved. This effect also makes it easier to see if you're looking at the bottom of a river on a bright day because it takes away the glare from the water.

So much so that in some traditional British fishing competitions the use of polarized glasses is prohibited, as they would give a considerable advantage over the other participants by being able to see the trout on the bottom much better. This is not the case in Spain.

From day one, our lenses set us apart. All Costa lenses have 100% UVA blocking which offers maximum protection and 100% polarization which eliminates reflected glare. Our 580 technology goes beyond polarization, allowing us to make the sharpest lenses in the world. It selectively filters out bright yellow and harmful high-energy blue light and makes colors brighter and objects appear more defined.

So no matter what you're doing under the sun, you'll see it in amazing detail. Is it advisable to buy a pair of fishing or sailing glasses from an optician? It is not safe. Have you ever gone to buy polarized fishing glasses at a neighborhood store or a large shopping center? The problem that you can find is that they offer glasses of any color and they don't know how to associate the color of the glass to the more than 20 specialties of fishing that exist in Spain as well as the different conditions of fishing and zones that this implies. The best option to buy some fishing glasses is to go to a fishing store and have a fisherman attend to you.

The polarized lenses avoid reflection and excessive glare, usually those coming from horizontal surfaces such as roads, water or snow.

By neutralizing the reflections we will not have to force our vision so much and we will see everything more clearly. Usually we use the polarized ones to enjoy outdoor activities or to drive because in these cases we are exposed to constant and annoying light reflections.

To give you an idea of how a glass works with and without polarization, here are some photos where you can see the difference very well. The blocking of yellow light lasts at 580 nm in the visible light spectrum increases the amounts of red, green and blue naturally, improving colors and contrast. Glasses with glass or polycarbonate (plastic) lenses? Polarized glasses with glass lenses are best suited for water sports that require maximum clarity. Plastic lenses are more affordable, last longer, and don't sacrifice clarity when you need it most. The frames are made of virtually indestructible natural resin.

The bio-resin used in Costa frames is obtained from the castor tree and biodegrades in just 10 years, compared to traditional plastics that take 500 years. The natural resin offers greater durability, an overall reduction in weight, and the ability for the mounts to maintain their shape in extreme conditions, from fishing in the extreme heat of the Cuban Keys to the intense cold of the fishing grounds in Norway or Iceland.
