Purpose-built for anglers who demand performance in changing light, the Costa Del Mar Fly Line Sunglasses deliver advanced optics and a secure, technical fit in a modern, water-ready design.

Inspired by the trusted Reefton platform, the Fly Line features an 8-base wrap for maximum coverage, helping block glare, wind, and stray light from every angle.

At the core are Costa 580® polarized glass lenses (580G), engineered for exceptional clarity, color enhancement, and glare reduction.

Comfort and retention are dialed in with double-injected Hydrolite™ nose pads and temple tips, ensuring a secure, non-slip fit even in wet conditions. Retainer-ready temple tips give you the option to add a leash for extra security when moving through rough water or technical terrain.

Q: Why are polarized fishing sunglasses important?
A: Polarized sunglasses cut through surface glare, allowing anglers to see beneath the water for spotting fish, structure, and currents, they can also help protect your eyes from hooks should you make an errant cast. They reduce eye strain and provide better visual clarity in bright conditions — an essential piece of gear for fly fishing and all-day comfort on the water.

Q: What lens colours are best for fishing?
A: Lens colour depends on light and water conditions. Amber, copper, and brown lenses enhance contrast in variable or low light, making them ideal for river or inshore fishing, these are your best all around options. Grey or blue mirror lenses reduce glare and brightness in full sun, perfect for saltwater or open-water fishing.

Q: Are all fishing sunglasses polarized?
A: Most quality fishing sunglasses are polarized, but some lower-cost models may not be. Always look for 100% polarized lenses to maximize glare reduction and visual accuracy when reading the water.

Q: Which fishing sunglasses brands do you carry?
A: Drift Outfitters carries leading polarized eyewear from Costa and Smith Optics. These brands are trusted by anglers worldwide for their clarity, comfort, and advanced lens technology designed specifically for fishing environments.

Q: What’s the difference between glass and polycarbonate lenses?
A: Glass lenses offer superior clarity and scratch resistance, while polycarbonate lenses are lighter and more impact-resistant. Many anglers prefer glass for clarity on the flats or in bright light, while polycarbonate is ideal
for rugged use and long days on the river.

Q: How should I care for my fishing sunglasses?
A: Rinse lenses with fresh water after use, especially near saltwater, and dry them with a soft microfiber cloth. Store your sunglasses in a hard case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage. Avoid wiping dry lenses, as dust or grit can cause micro-abrasions.
