Costa's for me, present from wifey.

Costa 580G lenses with green mirror amber base lens. Unparalleled scratch resistance is a real bonus.

this. I kick myself for not purchasing sooner. I've had them for about a year now. Maui's would be the only other shades id consider, also with an amber base lens of some sort

Just put the link into the post. It should auto-embed for you. Sometimes if it isn't the common url it won't.

If i can get the "temple squeeze" style frames to work for me, I'll be honest I like the looks of some of these.

I've got amber base non-polarized for when I wear contacts and rose prescription. The rose allows one to see deeper into the water. I haven't tried the HT.

Are the 580G's the glass lenses?

That's where I would be torn....to go glass or not.

You can get glass or poly. Prescription poly Mauis are better than prescription glass Costas.

When I get old and need corrective lens, I will have to check them out.:;:muahaha

The "G" stands for glass. I have had some awesome poly lenses that eventually get small scratches over time even while being careful. Glass prevents this very well.

I agree with horsager and rest of the mauii bunch. I have the readers and from what the optical people tell me they r the best. I would like to have a blue lens pair of costas. I told my bro tostart carrying them in his store

So Maui's are for 'boomers?

 

[deleted_account]

Damn boomers

 

[guywhofishes]

I have owned a couple glass and several poly. I reach for poly every time solely because of weight. Glass is too heavy. I'd rather re-lens on occasion than deal with weight on my beak for 10 hours. My glass are now spares.

My hair may have a lot of grey in it but i out of boomer range by one year. One day you will wake up and cant get the polymer knot done wo readers. Then u will be in denial 4 about about a couple years ..........:;:howdy

The next thread should be when u go on a bender for 3 days what type of sunglasses do u wear. Me foakleys:;:rockit

 

[eyecatcher]

Has anybody found good deals on Costas or are they the same price everywhere?

 

[guywhofishes]

Costco carries "last year's" models of Maui Jims - but other than that one example I am aware of MJ and other companies have done a great job of enforcing MSRP policy on their products.

 

[powerman]

Don't forget about Wiley x. I have been wearing Oakley for years and switched this year to Wiley x. They seem like great glasses.

 

[martinslanding]

So it’s Costa’s and Maui Jim’s at the top of the list, for high end quality polarized eyewear?

So second tier would be : Oakley, Wiley X, Under Armour

Lower tier : anything you buy at a gas station or truck stop

…just want to make sure I am interpreting this correctly

picked up a pair of these on ebay, and they are the cats behind, ahab gave me the heads up on on them so i pulled the trigger got them brand new off ebay for $165 its like my whole life is in HD

 

[eklindworth]

Costa Blackfin or Fantail. Snug but not uncomfortable around the ears. Have owned 2 Blackfin (one is misplaced and one was stolen in Mexico) and just got the Fantail.

 

[huffranger]

For super cheap I have some Berkley polarized that are not bad.
