Costa Untangled Collection

For more than 38 years, Costa Sunglasses has prioritized protecting the watery world it calls home. Continuing to put its mission into action by building products with purpose, Costa is announcing the next generation of its Untangled Collection, sunglasses built from recycled fishing nets and other sustainable materials like recycled aluminum logos and mineral glass lenses. Discarded fishing nets are the most harmful form of plastic pollution in our oceans. Working hand in hand with its partner Bureo, Costa is taking discarded fishing nets and giving them a new life in its collection of core performance frames. Ever since the original Untangled Collection of lifestyle frames debuted in 2018, Costa has been working to advance the recycling and molding techniques to build frames that are better-suited for its core angling community. The new frames have a 100% traceable supply chain, and are built from a more durable NetPlus material that is 97% recycled fishing nets and 3% performance additive. The combination allows Costa to build sunglasses with maximum coverage and protection - performance features that fishermen need for long days on the water.

Wyoming Whiskey Outryder 

Wyoming Whiskey’s newOutryder is 100 proof and offers something unique. A straight American whiskey with higher rye content than our Small Batch Bourbon, but short of a true rye whiskey, Outryder is crafted from two distinct mash bills. The first mash bill contains 48% winter rye, 40% corn, and 12% malted barley and the second reflects a traditional bourbon mash bill of 68% corn, 20% winter rye, and 12% malted barley. With a cinnamon spice and creamy butterscotch pudding taste, a sip of Outryder is a great way to celebrate a great catch.

MSRP: $74.99

Originally developed in collaboration with the Rome Snowboards crew from the Green Mountain State, this DIPA has evolved for any season and all ways down.
