Just got my first pair of costas this weekend. Cabillito 580 glass, best vision I've ever had out of sunglasses.

95% inshore. I want reflective lenses but I don't want the same blue that every body already has.

The costa silver isn't worth a frick IMO. I'd get the blue or green.

I have Maui's for daily wear and Costa for fishing. I prefer glass for the scratch resistance because I'm always laying mine down somewhere and I scratch plastic lenses within a few days.

MJ's cater to the bathhouse crowd so they may be able to demand a little more because they are used in the open like a foot tap is in a restroom.
