For Women's Eyes Only

Costa Del Mar's Vela designed their first sunglasses exclusively for performance-minded women.

August 1, 2006

Often, high-performance sunglasses tend to be made more for a man. Now women water enthusiasts can enjoy Costa Del Mar's Vela, their first sunglasses designed exclusively for performance-minded women. The Vela features flexible   wire core temples and Omega spring hinges, which provide a better fit     for smaller-faced women. The ultra-durable frames made from TR-90 nylon will withstand extreme activities, while the embedded silicone nose pads prevent the sunglasses from slipping. Every pair of Velas, which come in a selection of eight lens colors and two lens materials, provides 100-percent polarization and 100-percent UV protection. They're also available with Costa Del Mar's prescription option. Retail prices range from $149 to $289. (386) 677-3700, www.costadelmar.com.
