"Your sunglasses have a lot of work to do. They've got to beat back the white-hot rays of the sun, shield your eyes from sandstorms and flying projectiles and the like, and, of course, make you look cool. It also helps if you can see. So kudos to Matt Costa for swapping out the usual UV-resistant lenses in his Costalots specs for top-of-the-line Italian-made ones by eyewear- (and camera-) snob favorite Carl Zeiss. They're standard-issue in the range's new Diego frame (pictured), which comes in both polarized and nonpolarized versions. The shape's inspired by protective eyewear (and are made by Titmus Optical, which still manufactures industrial safety glasses and goggles) but the look is fifties-retro\u2014Clark Kent had a pair not too dissimilar from these. He's a guy who especially appreciated the necessity of clearly seeing sandstorms and airborne assailants, but the Zeiss lenses will be in all three of the Costalots shapes going forward. As Costa says, \"The difference in crispness and clarity of vision is there for the enjoying.\" Not to mention the projectile-ducking.\n\n Costalots Diego sunglasses, $204, available now at costalots.com and Mollusk Surf Shop  NYC, 210 Kent Ave., Brooklyn, (718) 218-7456, mollusksurfshopnyc.com"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
