Are the Vela lenses polarized?

Yes. The polycarbonate lenses are polarized and block 100% of UV light, which is the main reason anglers pick them.

What face shapes does the Vela suit?

Costa lists it for round and oval faces. The medium rectangular frame with a high bridge fits best on those shapes.

No. The Vela has a fixed whole frame with no interchangeable lens option, so pick your tint at purchase.

It is a Category 3 lens, suited to bright sun. On heavy overcast it can feel dark, so it is best as a bright-conditions pair.

Wraps like the Fantail give more side coverage and stay put in wind. The Vela is slimmer and more everyday, with less peripheral protection.

Costa ships the Vela with a hard case and a cleaning cloth. Check the listing for the exact case style included.
