Eight New Sunglass Models from Costa Del Mar

Fantail

Fantail

Costa Del Mar’s Fantail has a hard rectangular shaped frame for a medium to large fit. The nylon construction provides durability and what Costa describes as “forget-they’re-on” comfort. They are available in tortoise or black frame colors, and they feature Costa’s “580” glass lenses, which many guides describe as the clearest lenses on the planet. In our opinion, glass is still the most optically clear and scratch resistant compound, but polycarbonate offers a lightweight, impact-resistant alternative, at a lower price. Fantail is available in both lens materials. Lens colors include gray, copper, amber for Costa 580P, with the same colors, plus blue, green, and silver mirror options in 580G. Fantail retails from $149 to $249, depending on customized lens selection.

Tag

Tag

Costa’s Tag features 360-degree co-molded technology, with built-in side shields and  integral hinges for a comfortable fit. Tag comes in tortoise, black or silver frame colors, in the full array of Costa’s 580 lenses, including the new Rx option.

The 580 lens blocks yellow light at the 580 nanometer on the light spectrum, creating good visual clarity, high levels of polarization efficiency, and razor-sharp color enhancement. Like all Costa sunglasses, Tag is hand assembled in Florida with a lifetime warranty against manufacturer’s defects and can be customized with the frame and lens color of choice. Costa’s Tag style retails from $149 to $249, depending on lens choice.
