Costa sunglasses is further cementing its legacy of partnership with fishermen by announcing its debut of the new 'Jose' sunglass style - named after legendary angler Jose Wejebe from the TV show Spanish Fly. These frames are made of indestructible nylon and provide a comfortable 'forget-they're-on' fit, and they come in black or tortoise. Jose Wejebe said, "I've been wearing Costa's for years, and for them to name a new style after me is like a badge of honor." Costa was in Las Vegas with most of the nation's fishing specialists at the ICAST show, or International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades. Costa is also rolling out its new polycarbonate (PCB) lenses to fit the 'Jose' frame, or any of its other existing frames. The new lens will come in the highest grade, known as the 580 lens, but will be more lightweight and impact resistant than its 580 predecessors that are made of glass. Glass lenses are still available in popular colors like blue mirror and green mirror, and 580 Polycarbonate color options include grey, copper and amber. Consult the web for more information at www.CostaDelMar.com and www.TheWateryRave.com.

I would be more than happy to test the new "Jose" sunglasses.
ReplyDeleteI think its funny how everyone always says " I would be more than happy to test the new ( whatever it may be at the time ). Any site you go to that there is a new product line out, you see this same remark. If it where only that easy to get a free pair of new Costa's. Everyone... Keep begging, it may happen for you. Good luck to all.
ReplyDeleteInterested to see/feel the new fit - I like the wrap to the face which is why I own a few different Turbines with varying lens colors.
ReplyDeleteJose is a legend... and so is Costa! perfect fit... tight lines amigo!
ReplyDeleteShannon, the fit on me is really nice. The bottom of the frame does not touch my cheek/face (which is a big no-no) - but it is so damn close to doing so I feel that it is blocking out the max wind and sun possible. Did I mention that 580 Poly lenses make the glasses MUCH lighter.
