Smith Optics. I'll never own another pair of Costas after trying the Smiths.

I have a pair of Maui Jim's that are my "good" sunglasses. love them(retail is $300)

I have a pair of ray bans that are decent quality and comfortable but plastic so if they hit the ground they don't break.(retail $80)

Costa makes a good lense especially for fishing, but comfort and style are lacking.

Got mine for $47 on Amazon. I have the 55's but others prefer the 52's. I basically look like this:



You can buy the same design from Randolph Engineering for 3x as much, but I haven't seen a reason to. The AO's are polarized.

Mauis. McGregor Point is my everyday now.

But Serengeti Cortinos are probably my favorite sunglasses, and they're cheap if you can find them. You have to have a decently big head and like the wayfarer look, but they're far superior to the several pairs of actual wayfarer's I've owned.

For pure fishing, I prefer Kaenon though I haven't owned a pair in a year or so.

Wayfarer type sunglasses are so fricking cheesedick. Follow the crowd much?

I think the blatant copies are lame. But the shape, in itself, is good for a lot of faces.

I like Oakleys. I have a pair of half jackets for daily wear and a pair of Fives Squared for fishing.

Maui Jim, simply for the 2 year warranty- my lenses cracked, I sent them in for $10, the replaced the arms and lenses (apparently, they replace the arms with almost every repair), and sent them back. I now have an almost brand new pair of glasses.

Good for what, looking like a frat hipster? The fact that they have no periferal coverage is stupid enough for me.
