My mutt recently got ahold of my Costa's. Not his fault, mine.
Anyway, looking for a good pair of everyday glasses. Up here in GA now so mostly hiking, camping, lake fishing, yardwork, kids ball games. No real offshore use.
Thanks for the help.

I have maui jims, costas, and ray bans.

My maui jims are by far my favorite.

I've usually worn oakleys.

I just bought a pair of ray ban's and like them a lot too. Very fancy looking.

I like my costas for fishing and driving. I wear ray ban aviators any other time.

Costas or bust. Glass lenses are the only way to go. If you don't use your glasses you can get a fashionable pair that are far less useful like Ray bans Maui Jim's channel prada oakleys whatever else.

Hard to beat Maui Jim. Ray Ban is nice but quality isn't what it should be since bought by Luxotica, same is true of Oakley. Costa would be my number two but they have really increased production over the last four years and quality is good but not what it was 7-10 years ago.

Keanon is a popular one overlooked by many.

Kaenon supposedly has their frames and lenses safety certified now, but I didn't see it printed on there so I'm not buying another pair yet.

They have sponsored several friends and always have great support, but they will only give you 1 pair a year.

Buy whatever pair of polarized $20 at academy that are comfortable on you

You'll just lose them anyway

Unless you are used to costas. Then you'll just end up pissed off and cursing the glasses the whole time you fish. Like I did.

Revo's are very underrated. Get the glass lenses, a little more expensive but worth it. I have the Revo Converge. It comes with the strap and cork but can be taken off.

This. If you aren't looking to spend the amount of money you would on costas, Wiley X's are the way to go.
