Sunglasses
Posted on 3/7/24 at 11:14 am
Posted on 3/7/24 at 11:14 am
I've decided to purchase prescription sunglasses and I am looking for some feedback. Any thoughts on the following brands:
Costa Del Mar (I've owned numerous pairs, some lasting longer than others)
Bajio Sunglasses
Revo Sunglasses (I've only owned one pair. Seem to hold up well)
Any other brands I should consider?
TIA

Maui Jim’s are legit

I have a couple of pairs of Bajio’s. The lenses are comparable to my Costa glasses. I will say the frames are kind of cheap feeling but they have held up fine. I’m sure they are made out of some environmental approved crap is why they feel cheap. That “leather” case they come with actually feels pretty good considering it is made out of cactus.

Maui Jim
Correct answer…

I priced out some Maui Jim's at the eye Dr last trip in.
$755 for one pair. It would ruin my life to own a $755 pair of sunglasses and leave them on a table at a restaurant or scratch them. I couldn't do it.
Zenni cheapos for $75 won out.
ETA- still use my non-Rx Costas fishing though.

I have owned all of the brands you mentioned, and have been pretty happy with all of them so I doubt you can go really wrong.
Bajio is what I buy now though. I have found them to be the best combination of quality and cost.

Maui Jim. They’re worth the money.

Bolle for fishing.
Smith for shooting.
Oakley for driving.

I'm a Revo fan myself.

I have a bigger face and Maui Jim Onshore is perfect for me.
We offer you shitty advice though.
You need to figure out what you are going for.
Give this guy a listen
LINK
Search for his posts explaining sizing, and how the sunglasses should fit. And then search for his youtube video that covers your favorite sunglasses or your next pair you would like to buy. He goes way in depth.
If a lens is drop proof or more susceptible to scratches he will tell you. You and I see Mauipure and Mauibrilliant lenses, and he tells us what those fancy words actually mean. Caveat he also has a pretty big head so I can see what the newest sunglasses look like on him first as well.

Might depend on what type of frame or style you want. Aviator type, Randolph
Highend sports type - Maui Jim
Mid range but still wonderful lenses, Revo.

I have some krewe sunglasses that I absolutely love. They are expensive but worth it if you take care of them. Went to Williamson eye clinic to pick up wife's contacts and saw they were selling them. So I would imagine you could get subscription
