Serious outdoors enthusiasts know lens color matters.  The amount of sunlight, water color, wind, and type of adventure are all factors in selecting the perfect pair of performance sunglasses.  

Brown-based lenses are high contrast—copper or amber lenses work best in activities where colors really need to pop, such as flats fishing or hiking through dense forest.  For those wanting a more natural view, with no brown tint, choose gray lenses.  Gray works better in bright conditions, in wind and on blue water. 

For adventure junkies who want to be able to switch lens colors on a moment’s notice to suit the landscape and weather conditions, Costa introduces its newest sunglass style, Skimmer.  The extremely lightweight Skimmer features interchangeable polarized polycarbonate lenses, so wearers can switch from gray to copper to amber tints whenever they want. 

This sunglass style will take you everywhere you need to go.  You can wear the gray lenses on the beach after surfing the waves under a blinding, blue sky, and then switch to copper lenses when you go mountain biking, said Chas MacDonald, president of Costa.  And since Skimmer is so lightweight, you can wear it all day and forget you’re even wearing them.

The new Skimmer style is available now at www.costadelmar.com and at authorized Costa retail outlets.
