Costa Awarded The Best All-Around Winter Sunglasses Of 2024 By Ski Mag
While Costa may not be known as a snowsports brand, Costa was recently awarded the Best All-Around Winter Sunglasses of 2024 from Ski Mag. Costa has several great pieces for winter activities, with lens options for all light conditions, anti-fogging tech, side shielding to block out light or shred-ready designs.
Costa recommends the following, based on light conditions and style:
Best for Overcast Days:
Lido - A go-to for outdoor activities, stylish and comfortable for anything
With a focus on style and performance inspired by the vibes of the Pacific shores, this frame is ready for anything the water sends your way. Lido comes with top and side shields to help keep the light out, and Hydrolite® nose pads and temple tips to help you bring fish in. From east to west, for watching waves or riding them, Lido’s there for the adventure.
Best for Bluebird Days:
Mainsail- Full coverage for those speedy mogul runs
For the performance and style you need on and off the water, Mainsail frames are your go-to pair for every outing and adventure. Built with the same high-quality materials and features you want everywhere from the beach to the big blue, Mainsail frames help keep excess light out with micro side shields and hooding, your frames in place with improved Hydrolite™ grips on the temples and help keep sweat and water out of your eyes with eyewire drains and channels. The Mainsail frames are your day-to-day sunglasses that stay stylish while relaxed on land and ready for anything while out on water.
Also Great for full sun days:
Rinconcito - Stylish and great for backcountry adventures
A little brother to Costa’s Rincon frame, Rinconcito blends West Coast style lines and edgy curved temples. This medium style, named for the iconic Southern California right point break, features bio-resin construction, polarized 100% UV Protection Lenses, integral spring hinges, and Hydrolite nose and temple pads.
Best of Tech Lovers:
King Tide 6 - Side Sheilds optional for complete coverage,
In nature, a King Tide requires the perfect alignment of Earth and moon to create once-in-a-lifetime views and opportunities for watermen. Like their namesake, the King Tide 6 is designed to give you the ultimate advantage on the water. Made for watermen who demand performance in every sport, the King Tide 6 features a medium wrap with removable side shields for optimal viewing on and off water. Shark-inspired venting achieves a near impossible zero-fog effect. Top of the line sweat management and drains keep your view dry and unobstructed. Non-skid hooding means they stay in place on any surface wet or dry. All this has made King Tide 6 the crowning achievement of Costa’s 40 years on the water, utilizing the research and innovations from every frame that came before it. Rule the water.
Best for Apres Style:
Sullivan - A daily frame, great for relaxed adventure
Those who have been to Sullivan’s Island know how to unwind. So naturally, Sullivan was designed with a slow-down, kick-back kind of style and 100% UV protection polarized lens that still manages to grab attention along with its water-inspired acetate designs. Hit the beach, look out over the waves, and leave the tension to your fishing line. Sunglasses inspired by a life on the water, colors, patterns and textures that capture the spirit of the sea. And because they come with 580G lenses, you'll be able to soak up every detail while you're soaking up the sun.
