[ICAST 2024] Costa’s Grand Catalina Frame w/ 580G Gold Mirror Lens

The 40-year industry leader in fishing eye protection, Costa Sunglasses has brought back a legendary set of retro frames to ICAST 2024 with new cutting-edge lenses. The beloved remastered Grand Catalina is back and available with the new 580G Gold Mirror lenses. These lenses are a rose base mineral glass lens that has been encapsulated in a gold mirror coating. They have a 14% VLT (visual light transmission), 100% polarization, and of course Costa’s 580 color-enhancing technology. The new 580G Gold Mirror lens is the most versatile offering from Costa, capable across a whole spectrum of lighting conditions.  This ensures optimal clarity on the water on the brightest or dreariest day.

The remastered Grand Catalina frame is based upon the beloved original Grand Catalina originally introduced in the 80s and worn for decades afterward by such angling legends and Costa Pros, Flip Pallot, and the late & great Jose Wejebe. The new frame holds onto the beloved vintage look keeping the aviator shape and removable side shields, but now comes with the modern Patherfinder Feature set. This includes sweat management channels, vented adjustable nose pads, removable side shields (offering two different looks), and seamless full temple hydrolite surfacing. These new retro-inspired frames are built for versatility, a perfect fusion of style and performance no matter the conditions. These sunglasses have an MSRP of $292 and will be available for purchase now.
