Mauis are way better than costas. Plus you won't look like every other douche in town.

I used to hate Costas, but I like them now.

Costas are garbage now IMO, but I do think the 580G lenses are the best on the market.

I would suggest you look at other makes. Just had a pair of Costa Fisch's with 580 glass lenses had a lense shatter when I put them on. Costa wants to charge $110 to repair (screw them). Told them what they can do with their repair, and will be going Maui Jim's in the future... BTW,Amber lenses work great in the marsh!

I guess since this is one of those anonymous boards you can get away with that statement.

No you'll just look like the bigger douches wearing Maui's.

ETA Motorboat if you're too cool for Costas how do you know that Maui's are better??

Definitely get 580s. I prefer the glass ones because they're more durable. Get green or amber(they're the same, the green ones just have green mirror on them), they definitely let you see in stained water better.
