Review: Costa Caballito

Big shades may be all the rage, but if you've got a small head, they make you look goofy—hence, no net gain. Luckily, Costa has every skull size covered, and their Caballito ("pony" in Spanish; how apropos) fits my junior-sized noggin just right. And what a fit—these sunglasses sit stable & secure on my face, while being comfortable and lightweight. I chose the variable-light lenses, which are crystal-clear and not too dark, so I can keep 'em on in low light and still see things clearly. They're also scratch-resistant, which is essential for outdoor activities—sunglasses are gonna take a hit once in a while, or at least get scraped by branches. Finally, the polarization means I don't need a separate pair of shades for fishing. Less really is more, as the Caballito goes to show. Available at costa.com at the current sale price of $179.
