What’s New?

The New Untangled Collection 2.0 - Launched July 2021

Continuing to put its mission into action by building products with purpose, Costa is announcing the next generation of The Untangled Collection, sunglasses built from recycled fishing nets. The four new performance frames are built with a more functional and durable NetPlus™ material that is 97% recycled fishing nets and 3% performance additive - allowing Costa to now build sunglasses with maximum coverage and protection for long days on the water.

Costa Grows PRO Series: We Sweat the Details So You Don’t Have To

Along with the polarized, color-enhancing 580® lens tech we’re known for, the features we’ve added into these legendary Costa frames are designed to help anglers stay out even longer. It only takes one small change to catch more fish. So we added six. Sweat channels and eyewire drains are built into the frame designs, and side shields and hooding details are designed to help keep light and heat out. Our ventilated nose pads are fully adjustable for a customizable fit, and stickier, lighter Hydrolite® adds comfort while keeping your frames locked in place. Costa PRO Series. We sweat the details so you don’t have to.

Fresh New Styles in the Beach Lifestyle Collection

Whether you’re spending a day on the coast with friends or traveling to a faraway watery world, the sun and reflected glare can be damaging to your eyes. That’s why we offer our advanced 580® lens technology in beach-ready styles.
