1. All Costa lenses have a C-Wall molecular bond on the outside of the lens. The C-Wall molecular bond on Costa lenses provides the most scratch-resistant and smudge-free barrier, repelling salt water, oil and sweat for easier cleaning. Costa sunglasses were built by fishermen who needed sunglasses that wouldn’t be deteriorated by salty water or air, so that shouldn’t be an issue.
2. Quick question are you referring to water skiing or skiing on snow in the mountains?
3. The Brine has venting holes on the front of the frame that helps combat fogging. However, there is no anti-fog coating applied to the lenses.
