Choosing a Lens Color
Light conditions are constantly changing. To get the most out of Costa Lenses, it's important to choose the right color. We offer seven lens colors that range from low-light like dawn to extremely bright light with blinding glare.
For offshore, blue mirror is the way to go. For freshwater and inshore, green mirror and copper are great options. For low light at dawn or dusk, sunrise silver mirror is perfect. Gray lenses are the best choice for everyday activities. Of course, the best way for you to decide is to consider your environment.

COSTA POLARIZED LENSES VS. STANDARD POLARIZED LENSES
Polarized lenses are essential for anyone who spends time outdoors - especially on the water. But, not all polarized sunglasses are created equal.
Costa is 100% polarized
- Best polarizing efficiency available
- Improves comfort and reduces eye strain by eliminating reflective glare
Costa only sells polarized sunglasses
- Because we believe blocking reflective glare is essential for anyone on the water or outdoors, we only manufacture polarized sunglasses

Our mirrors are more than an aesthetic, they put Costa on the map. Made through a high-tech beam ion deposition process, these multilayered thin film coatings make for the most scratch resistant mirrors out there. By bouncing reflected light away from the eye, they deliver superior contrast and color while enhancing visual acuity. Our mirrors are available in blue, green, sunrise silver, gray silver and copper silver.
