Costa Grows Hybrid Category for Life on, off Water

Costa Sunglasses celebrates 40 years of making sunglasses for being on the water by growing its hybrid category of frames. New to the lineup for the spring, Mainsail and Aleta are day-to-day sunglasses that stay stylish while relaxed on land and ready to perform while out on the water.

Building off the success of Costa’s hybrid category –  frames that blend performance features with everyday style – Mainsail (unisex) and Aleta (women’s) are built with quality materials and features. The versatile frames are at home reeling in a fish, checking surf breaks, traveling to a remote atoll or exploring a coastal village.

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, while their technical features are ready for anything the water throws at you. 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 eye wire drains keep sweat out of your eyes, and keeper-ready temples keep your frames from going overboard.

Mainsail and Aleta come with Costa’s registered polarized, color-enhancing 580 lens technology for clarity. The scratch-resistant lens cuts haze and blur and enhances key colors for superior clarity and definition. Built better with Bio-Resin, Mainsail and Aleta are lightweight and maintain the durability necessary for any watery adventure.

Mainsail and Aleta start at $182 and are available at local dealers or Costasunglasses.com.  For more information about Costa’s full collection of best-selling sunglasses, visit Costasunglasses.com.
