Costa Sunglasses, manufacturer of the first color-enhancing polarized glass sunglass lens, celebrates 40 years in 2023 by expanding its successful hybrid category of frames.
New to the lineup for spring are the Mainsail and Aleta day-to-day sunglasses that stay stylish on land and ready to perform on the water.
Costa’s hybrid category includes frames that blend performance features with everyday style. The Mainsail (unisex) and Aleta (women’s) frames are built with the same high-quality materials and features for the beach to big blue. Inspired by the watery world Costa is synonymous with, Mainsail gets its name from the mainsail on a sailboat, and Aleta, from the Spanish word for “fin.”
Staying true to their roots, Mainsail and Aleta maintain a relaxed look and feel yet retain top technical features. Integrated micro side shields and hooding help keep additional light out for an improved view. The vented Hydrolite nose pad keeps your frames locked in place and helps prevent fogging. Sweat management channels and eyewire drains keep sweat out of your eyes. Keeper-ready temples keep your frames from going overboard.
“Our new hybrid category is our most versatile. It has it all, water-ready performance and a stylish, modern design,” said John Acosta, Costa Sunglasses Vice President of Marketing NA. “We took the performance features Costa is famous for and added them to a more relaxed frame shape that is equally comfortable and durable on any adventure.”
Mainsail and Aleta come with Costa’s polarized, color-enhancing 580 lens technology for next-level clarity. The scratch-resistant lens cuts haze and blur, and enhances key colors for superior clarity and definition. Built with Bio-Resin, Mainsail and Aleta are lightweight and maintain the durability necessary for any watery adventure.
Starting at $182, both are currently available at local dealers or Costasunglasses.com.
