So I bent the frames on my coastas and sent them in for repairs. I found out that the pair I have is discontinued and that, I can get what ever pair I want for $70.

Not a bad deal considering I bought this pair off eBay for $50 8 months ago.

What pair of Costas would the OB get.

Lenses have to be 580p

Cheers

I kindof look down on people that wear costas. They sell them at academy so every wannabe fisherman in the area wears them. They are super cliche

Get you a pair of Smiths. Those are the best looking and best fitting

great insight. A grown man looking down on someone over some sunglasses. Super awesome.

I look down on people that run over girls with boats and don't stop to help.

but to the point, really depends on the size of your head, Harpoons are a popular choice.

Different models will fit each person's head differently, go try on a few pairs at Academy and pick out the frame you like. I've got the Triple Tails and Brine and like them.

I have a big head, so I haven't found anything more comfortable than the Harpoons yet. And as for Bourbon Cowboy, I have not found glasses with better lenses than Costa for fishing and everyday use.

I have Caballitos, and Galvestons. I like them both, but depends on your head. My next pair will probably be Ballasts.

I was so pissed when my Swordfishes broke and I couldn't get them fixed because they were discontinued.

But like someone else said, just go to Academy and try some on and see which ones you like. I have Harpoons and Fantails and I like both. Harpoons are thin and the Fantails are thicker frames.

I have the Fisch sunglasses by costas, by far the most comfortable pair of glasses I've owned. LINK

Thanks for the replies. I guess I should have specified that these were metal frames. They fit perfect and was super bummed when I bent them all up.

Go somewhere and try them on. Same deal with me and I order pair that looked good but didn't get Large size and never wore them. You can not send them back so go try some one make sure they fit and you like them then order them
