5 BUILT BY HAND, BACKED FOR LIFE It takes skilled craftsmen to assemble a pair of Costas in our Daytona Beach production facility. We believe in our work, so our limited lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. And if your customers Costas ever need fixing, we re here for you. All Costa Repair Shop calls are answered by a member of our staff in Florida. The best lenses would be useless without frames that were up for an adventure. So our components are built smart and tough to perform under pressure. And we continue to evolve with new materials made from renewable resources like castor plant resin, so the places we explore will always be worth the journey there. D C A B E A] CO-INJECTED FRAMES Our bio-based nylon frame material is tough and durable. We fuse the nylon together with Hydrolite, our proprietary, hypoallergenic rubber, which prevents slippage. As a result, Costa s coinjected frames offer the best-fitting, most comfortable sunglasses on the market today. B] CORROSION-RESISTANT ALLOY FRAMES Monel is a super tough, corrosionresistant alloy that we use in our metal frames. If you re on the water a lot, your glasses will get wet. Monel is up for the challenge. C] BIO-BASED RESIN Our nylon frames require significantly less fossil fuel to produce thanks to our use of castor plant resins. These bio-based resins have let us reduce emissions in the process of making plastic sunglasses by 40%. D] THE BEST HINGES Our hinges come in three types: integral, optical spring and five-barrel optical hinge. Stainless steel is used to resist corrosion and our hinges are flexible so that they keep their shape and fit perfectly. E] BILATERAL & TRILATERAL FUSION COLOR This process is used on many of our frames to give them a durable chip-proof finish that s built to last. Color options are achieved not by painting the frames, but by fusing the colors under extreme pressure to the frame as it s being molded. VARIOUS SIZES One size doesn t always fit all. That s why we have over 60 different frame styles. Look for these icons in the workbook that indicate if a frame style is small, medium, large or extra large.
