Waters West is now an authorized Costa Del Mar Sunglasses dealer.

Born on the water, are specifically designed for people who spend a lot of time staring at water, just like us.

These aren’t your average gas station shades.
Costa’s proprietary 580 lens technology filters out harsh light at the 580nm wavelength. Now I ain’t no scientist, but I looked it up and that’s the mean wavelength of light reflected off water. So now we’ve both learned something.

This means less glare, better eye protection, color contrast, and visibility on the water. So you can see where you’re stepping, and maybe even see a fish.

Add in full polarization + 100% UV protection, and now your eyes won’t feel like raisins at the end of the day.
