Green lens in costa are brown/amber or something like that.

Look at Maui Jim’s. Glass is really good in them.

Calcutta glasses are great. Look good, work well, and you aren't pissed off when you inevitably lose or break them.

25years of fishing for a living and nothing compares to my Mauis.

Great glasses. Costly but fantastic shades

My toddler daughter scratched my lenses and they wouldn't repair or replace. I had a pair of Smiths and one lense broke, they only offered 20% discount on a new pair.

I haven't found anything I like better than the green 580p. Light, durable, great lense, will replace if needed.

Bajio was started by the original Costa founders. And that 50% off replacement is what Costa just offered me so thats nothing special to be honest. I thought Bajio was better than that.

I broke my 580 glass Costas back in November. They offered 50%, even though my glasses were probably 10 years old. Thinking hard about going with Smith but havent replaced them yet.

I did order a pair of the AMP replacement lenses from Fuse lenses. I never really got to use them since I broke the frame puttin the second lens in. But in the short time that I had a Fuse AMP in the left eye and a blue 580G in the right eye I couldnt tell the difference. It was astonishing how comparable they were. But then I broke the frame replacing the other lens. lol
