Are they not good glasses? Are Maui Jim's better? I've never spent more than $20 on sunglasses before.

Looking at the website now. I'm leaning towards the Cat Cay. Nothing else really jumps out to me. I need to see them in person, then buy online of course.

I went away from costas recently because it seems their quality has gone down. College kids are who they cater to now IMO. I recently purchased some ocean waves and I love them. A little cheaper than costas but they are made for fisherman.

Try on some Mauis and Costas. I have a pair of each. Prefer the Mauis for daily wear and the Costas for fishing. Maui has lighter, more comfortable frames. Lenses are nice, but Costa lenses are superior.
