Costa shades nose pad replacement?

I have a Costa Saltbreak and the nose pad broke off. I am having trouble finding a replacement pad. These are my favorite fishing shades.
Does anybody have any good suggestions?

Contact Costa. Had the same thing happen about a year ago and Costs swapped it for a brand new pair

Same for me. They gave me about 7 different options to choose from

I also have the saltbreak and absolutely love them. I am on my 3rd replacement due to the nose pad coming off. The nosepad on this 3rd pair just broke off last week. I hope they will send me a 4th.

I’ve had Costas for over 20 years. Their frames are so much crappier now. The old frames never wore out. The new frames start to have issues with all the rubber pieces after a while.

This is so true. And I hate it. I bought a pair of Brines back around 07. Wore the hell out of them until around 2015 when the rubber and frames started cracking. I send them in for repair, sent me a brand new pair. They’ve been returned three times since then. I broke the lenses early last year (100% my fault) and they quoted me $130 to repair. I ended up just buying a pair of Maui Jim’s, which I really like. But I still think the Costa lenses are better in really bright light.
I ended up sending them back in for the repair.

Rubber protectors always fall off. Always will. But they replace them for the cost of shipping. And if that frame is discontinued they will get you a new pair.

i don't know about yall but i've got 3 pairs of different costas now that all have either nose pad or arm sleeves that have fallen off and costa just emailed me saying they will not repair or replace the glasses or parts anymore ... can't find replacement parts anywhere online either so i'm just SOL on 3 pairs i guess?

Costa says that the sunscreen most of us use fishing and outdoors is why their rubber wears away. Makes you wonder if it ruins rubber what it's doing to our bodies haha

Sounds like BS to me. Fisherman (their target crowd) wearing sunscreen is ruining the sunglasses? That's a pathetic excuse for their shitty/cheap craftsmanship.
Gave up on them years ago and no regrets with my Bajios. Sunscreen a few times a week sure hasn't been a problem.

Similar response for me with a few issues over the years. "Repair" cost was typically just short of a replacement cost.
They used to be great with warranty work, but went to shite after being sold.
