Costa Designs Two New Hybrid Metal Styles to Round Out 2013 Collection

Daytona Beach, Fla. - Marrying its patented, nearly-indestructible, co-injected, molded nylon frame construction with quality corrosive-resistant Monel® metal, Costa adds Conch and Tower to its 2013 collection.

Conch is a classic, large aviator sunglass shape, and features sturdy integral hinges and adjustable silicone nose pads for optimal fit. It's available in palladium and gunmetal frame colors.

Tower's retro rectangle shape is a medium fit and includes no-slip temple tips to help keep the sunglasses comfortably in place all day. Like Conch, Tower features integral hinges and adjustable silicone nose pads. Frame colors include palladium, gunmetal and gold.

Both Conch and Tower are available with Costa prescription (Rx) lenses. Combining its 580 lens technology with proprietary lens designs and in-house digital lens processing, Costa is able to offer the sharpest, most clear Rx sunglasses on the market.

Lens color options include gray, copper, amber, blue mirror and green mirror in Costa's patented 580™ lens technology. The 580 lenses block yellow light - the harshest light - from entering the eye, eliminating glare, and creating razor sharp color enhancement and unparalleled polarization.

"Our new hybrid metal sunglasses are easy go-to styles no matter if you're hundreds of miles offshore, or in the heart of the wilderness," said Chas MacDonald, president of Costa. "They transition seamlessly from adventure to leisure without compromising performance."

Conch and Tower start at $199. To find an authorized Costa retail outlet, visit www.costadelmar.com.
