Costa Del Mar Fathom Glass Mirror Lens sunglasses

 (5 customer reviews)

I recently purchased the Costa Fathom in black matt frame with green mirror 580G lenses. I just got back from a day kayak fishing trip on the Potomac River (VA). I am happy to say I had a phenomidal day. I caught several of my biggest large mouth bass. I attribute my successful day to my new Costa Fathom sunglasses. These sunglasses not only cut horizontal and vertical glare, they brighten up colors. The color contrast is superb compared to my blue polarized Oakly. I highly recommend the Costa green mirror to anyone fishing river, streams, and brackish waters. Despite the intense summer sun, I could clearly see the bottom of the river bed and everything in between. I was able to sight fish today. As a result I caught several 4 pounders.

Bought these about a month ago and they are fantastic. Durable, solid, rugged...I have used them for just about everything and anything outdoors.

I have owned Oakleys, Ray Bans, and Maui Jims in the past and Costas reign supreme. The Fathom Sunglasses with the Mirror Lenses are very comfortable on my face and perform exceptionally well in the harsh maritime environment where I work. While I do love the style of these glasses, I must admit that the Costas are not quite as "stylish" as the Maui Jims; however, when it comes to performance - especially on the water - Costa Del Mar is untouchable. The Blue Mirror Lenses do a phenomenal job at filtering the yellow light that kills a person's ability to see on/through the water. Also, glare from the sun is virtually eliminated with these sunglasses. I have read a number of negative reviews stating that these sunglasses fall apart fairly easily and that the warranty...Read more
