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.
