Gear Review: Costa Tuna Alley

What is it?

Costa Tuna Alley

What sets it apart?

At the right time of year, from a legendary 15-mile long white strip of sand separating the deep blue Bahamian waters from the shallow bank of Gun Cay, you can spy tons of Bluefin tuna, migrating north. Hence the name these comfortable and stylish glasses were given. Like many other Costa glasses, the Tuna Alleys are very comfortable; they sit well on your nose; the vented sides help reduce eye sweat and the arms comfortabely wrap behind your ear without uncomfortable and painful pressure. They just wear nicely.

How do I use it?

You put them on and you look good yanking in numbers of fish from both salt or fresh water. The heavy-duty TR 90 nylon frame encases top-of-the line glass or hardened plastic lenses that protect your eyes while fishing from flying objects and intense sunlight reflection. The Tuna Alleys are availabe in five frame colors and four lens color configurations, including prescription lenses, to match the conditions you’ll likley face on your body of water.

Angler’s insight:

When it comes to comfort and application, Costa has the equation nailed. I have a pretty big head, I wear a hat all the time and I sweat constantly. Becasuse of that I prefer glasses that allow the breeze to flow through the eyewear reducing sweat bead dropping onto the inside of the lenses, and I like how the arms fit around my ears to provide a secure and comfortable seal to my head. These glasses will work for you while you’re working on big fish.
