Costa Paunch
Description and Application: Costa’s latest beach frame heeds to the white sands, clear waters, and legendary surfing of Bocas Del Toro in Panama. This Bio-Resin frame pairs perfectly with textured Hydrolite rubber nose pads to keep these on-trend frames comfortable on your face. Interior sculpting details draw you out onto the water, just like the boats they’re inspired by. Enter the barrel of the beast with Paunch.
Staff Perspective: While it’s true that these frames seem to appeal to the beach goer, they are indeed polarized like all of Costa’s sunglasses, but they add a little style to fishing sunglasses—if that’s important to you, and it is for most of us. Above application, they are comfortable and fully functional under nearly all fishing experiences, especially blue water fishing. These glasses specifically work well when fishing in deep water when the water is highly reflective in harsh sun. They also come standard with the company’s C-Wall coating that provides extra scratch-resistance that will also repel water, oil and sweat for easy cleaning.
Cost: $271
