Costas glass color question

also, I don't believe costas are of the same quality as they were in the past. I will not buy another pair.

That's probably because you bought plastic lenses

I have a blue and a green so I can't speak of the silver. The Amber/green lenses give you more light and are generally thought of for inshore fishing, grey/blue for offshore.

I wear both for driving or knocking around, based on the type of day, sunny gets blue and cloudy/rainy gets greens

I kind of want some different lenses for early in the morning before the sun gets up good. Mine are green mirror. I have been scoping out the silver ones lately.

I have some 580G in silver mirror that I got right when costa started offering the silver mirror lenses. They're great for inshore fishing.

I recently got a pair of Maui Jims so I'm interested to compare the two on the water. The costas actually seem like a better quality lens out and around town, they seem to have better vibrance and contrast. Like I said though, these are old costas. I've read that the quality has diminished recently. These MJs are light as a feather though and more comfortable for all day wear, and they fit better under a tilley hat
