Costa Permit Polarized Sunglasses
The Costa Permit Polarized Sunglasses are built for anglers who demand uncompromising optical performance and lasting comfort on the water. Named after one of the most sought-after game fish in the flats, the Permit combines a sleek wrap-style design with Costa's legendary 580® polarized lens technology to deliver exceptional glare reduction, vibrant color enhancement, and crystal-clear vision.
Whether you're stalking tailing redfish, sight casting to permit on the flats, or surf fishing the beaches of Hatteras Island, the Costa Permit helps you see more beneath the surface while protecting your eyes from harsh sunlight. The lightweight bio-resin frame features Hydrolite® nose pads and temple tips that become even grippier when wet, providing a secure, comfortable fit during long days on the water. Frank & Fran's proudly serves anglers throughout the Outer Banks and ships nationwide.
