Premium Polarized 580 Lenses*

Filtering reflective glare is essential for anyone on the water or outdoors. We sell only polarized sunglasses.

100% UV Protection

Your Costas absorb 100% of UV light, providing you the best in light management and protection.


Scratch Resistant and Durable

The C-Wall coating provides extra scratch-resistance and a barrier that repels water, oil and sweat for easy cleaning.

In nature, a King Tide requires the perfect alignment of Earth and moon to create once-in-a-lifetime views and opportunities for anglers. Like their namesake, the King Tide 8 is designed to give you the ultimate advantage on the water. ​

Made for elite anglers that demand the most from every cast, the King Tide 8 features a full wrap with removable side shields for optimal viewing on and off water. Shark-inspired venting achieves a near impossible zero-fog effect. Top of the line sweat management and drains keep your view dry and unobstructed. Non-skid hooding means they stay in place on any surface wet or dry. ​

All this has made King Tide 8 the crowning achievement of Costa’s 40 years on the water, utilizing the research and innovations from every frame that came before it. ​

Rule the water. ​
