A good sunglass company similar to Costa Del Mar

I have a pair of Costas, but wouldn't mind trying a new brand. A lot of the people wearing costas now are redneck and white trash. Has anyone used Smith or Maui Jim?

I like Wiley X. They are tough as hell

buy anything expensive & you'll love it just as much

Maui Jim are far superior to Costa. Smith's are good. But for me, I just want anything different than what everyone else is wearing, which is usually Costa.

I love Maui Jim's look, but 580 glass lenses on Costa's are so much better than any lense Maui Jim puts out...
I went to Maui Jim's feeling the same way as the OP and just switched back because the quality lenses just weren't there.

I picked my Maui Jim's up in Maui in 2011. The lens got a tiny scratch in the corner in 2014 so I sent them and they sent me a replacement. Those things have been the best purchase I ever made.

I have a pair of each. The Maui Jim's are nicer glasses but the Costas are better on the water

The plastic spin rack at the gas station.

You can't mean the lenses? I can get behind the idea of someone saying the frames are better on Maui but I just can't see it for the lenses.

Smith Optics are great and so are Kaenon.

Kaenon lenses are amazing. Their style has gone to crap the last 5 or so years.
So maybe find an older model on eBay or something?

Maui Jims fit my face perfectly. Love them, but the lenses could definitely be better. I sometimes find myself taking them off because I can't see as vibrantly.
But I love how they don't slide at all. Super secure.
