Costa Kare Shiny Black w/Mint Logos Frame Sunglasses KAR-203

The Costa Kare inherit their beauty from their namesake, Karekare black-sand beach, located on Auckland's west coast. The striking style is combined with thin, lightweight construction, optical spring hinges and Hydrolite® nose and temple pads for extra comfort. And while the beach may be black, the frames are available in multiple colors, all made with the durable bio-based nylon Costa is famous for. And as always, every pair of Costa sunglasses comes with a Costa Case, cleaning cloth, and manufacturer's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Built By Hand

Setting themselves apart from the very beginning, nearly all Costa sunglasses are assembled by hand in their Daytona Beach, Florida, workshop. The building process includes no less than eight pairs of hands, all striving to maintain an attention to detail and adhering to the high standards Costa is known for. But at Costa they also know that you didn’t buy their products to stay still – and when something happens that isn’t covered by their Limited Warranties, Costa’s experts can quickly return frames and lenses to "like-new" standards*.

Beyond Polarized

Most traditional Polarized lenses work by only blocking reflective light, but Costa did more. Their patented 580® lenses go the distance by blocking the ideal amount of harsh yellow light and potentially harmful blue light, while simultaneously enriching beneficial reds, blues and greens. This all adds up to less haze, less blur, and improved clarity and contrast. And if those innovations weren’t enough, they offer both a lightweight, impact resistant polycarbonate lens (580P), and a more traditional glass lens (580G). So no matter which Costa lens type you choose, your worldview is about to go hi-def.

Looking After What They Love

At Costa, they love the water and they love everything living in it. From their Indifly Foundation to their Kick Plastic® initiative, they devote a substantial amount of time, resources, and efforts, to conservation, raising awareness, protecting fisheries, and enriching water-based communities.
