Which Costa lens color? 2025
UKCATSBASSER reply :
Wanting to try a pair. Will pull double duty driving and fishing.
Dwight Hottle reply :
Copper. I just got a pair with prescription lenses before Christmas.
flyfisher reply :
Green Mirror which is a copper base color
Lendiesel22 reply :
I have blue and just ordered green. I put the green on in basspro and it allows alot more light in as it on an amber lense. The blue is a smoke lense. I have fished the blue for 2 seasons and love em. I cant wait to get the green ones on. High contrast.
flyfisher reply :
green mirror is not amber, it is copper base color.

I'm in the same boat as you but I need mine in prescription, do you mind if I use your topic to ask Dwight Hottle how he went about getting them.

K lol
flyfisher reply :
There is a big difference between the two in my opinion that is the only reason i am calling it out...i am not a fan of amber based lenses at all.
Lendiesel22 reply :
No worries bro

Love my 580G's. (Green) Both for fishing and driving, which I do a lot more of. They really shine on bright, overcast days and bring out the contrast much better than my amber Oakleys.

Thought I may not be the only person with this question so I figured it was better asked here than in a PM. Thanks

Dwight, how do you go about getting a pair with prescription lenses, is it as simple as going to a dealer with the prescription.
Nole Basser reply :
I just bought a pair. Go thru your optometrist if they deal in Costas. They will order them for you. On the pricey side but worth it if you need perscription sunglasses. I went with the copper lenses too for dual purpose. Plus i don't like the mirrored look.

The only problem i had with glass is"if" you had a lure come back and hit you in the lense glass would shatter. That is the only reason i went with plastic.

Yes I went to the closest independant dealer. He advised me what frame would work best for my head shape & prescription. The frame I liked the best was not suitable for my prescription because of lense thickness. I gave him my updated prescription & he ordered them directly from Costa. They came in 4 days later.
Instead of going to a large box retailer who sells Costas I looked for a optical shop. The optician can give you detailed info to make the best choice. I was told that the copper lenses offered the optimal sight penetration into fresh water & were the best driving lenses for daytime lighting.

Great, this is very helpful. Thanks for the detailed information.

I think they have some sort of film in there because i had that exact situation happen with a fly that came back and hit me square in the lens. The lens cracked but it did not shatter. May not be the norm but i figure in all my years of fishing that was the first time it happened so I should be good for a few more years hopefully lol

Since they're a coated lens it won't shatter like that but it will crack, don't ask how I know and it's not from a lure. But to be honest before I'd let a lure hit me in the face I'd try and catch it with my hand, I'd much rather pull some hooks out of my hand rather then my face.
