I didn't know there was a rivalry between these two brands.

Can someone explain why the mirror color has anythin to do with what type of fishing u are doing. The mirror has nothing to do with the polarization, so why should the color matter?

Get Maui Jim's, they are like wearing heaven on your face. They have good glass and the frames (at least on the ones I've had) have a lot of flex, I can wear mine all day and forget they are actually on my face, until I go inside and can't see shite.

Ended up finding a bunch of Maui Jim's I like. I'll probably go that route since they look more appropriate in the business world.

if you get in a wreck and the glasses are shattered with plastic, you have better chance of living

Well coming from a guy that's been fishing with eyeball doctors for over a decade, the vast majority wear Costas while fishing. They may wear BJ I mean MJs when they hit the dock, but that's when they are looking to shed the chains of their false heterosexual lifestyles and head down past the lavender line on bourbon.

I like MJ and costa


But the MJs are plastic as far as I know, which everyone seems to be against

Any time you tell a homo his fashion is out of style his thing that tucks his goods towards the back to make him appear as a chick get in a wad. Sorry, I throw out the olive branch, guys I only have one word for your MJs, " Fabulous!". Think it's worth 2.5 snaps fo sho.

No, but they ruined a lot of civil unions.

Why are you guys so hung up on costas? they are cheaply made, they scratch easily, you look like a cyborg and you look like every other sparkle boat towing hummer driver in the south.

Expand you shopping horizons beyond Cabelas and Academy. There are many alternative brands out there that do the same thing as costa with better quality, better service and better looks.

Costa is one of a select group that cares about fisherman first and foremost. And it shows. Costa's designs are built from the ground up with fishing in mind, not adapted as an afterthought.

The different colors amplify different lights. For example- the green lenses enhance all colors to make them brilliant while the blue lenses mainly just cut out glare.
