I'm in the process of selecting a new pair of Costa's. Anyone have experience with both plastic and glass lenses? Thinking of upgrading to glass but was looking for local reviews.

Get glass for the scratch resistance if nothing else. Their glass lenses used to be sorta heavy but several years ago they started making them thinner. Optics-wise the plastic lenses are fine, but while I don’t abuse my glasses I’m not ultra-careful with them either. Glass works better for me.

Costco has Maui Jim sunglasses with glass lenses for about $100, I might try those out.

Calcuttas

---

I’ve been wearing the same pair of $25 Calcuttas for 3 years.

I wear sunglasses every day as I have had serious eye issues including two retena detachments as well as a cornea replacement. My eyes have always been light sensitive. I also have to have bifocals or I can’t tie knots etc.
My recommendations. Maui Jim, costa high dollar, sun clouds etc 40 bucks

My ruless: Must be polarized, glass is always better than plastic, coated is better than uncoated, match color of lense with water. Reflective lens is great on hot summer say but sucks for hunting.

Put them on a neck strap and you will not lose them

Dang pricy

Smiths or Costas are hard to beat. MJ is solid option too. Just make sure you get glass lenses

I have a set of rayban frames that are perfect for me. Lenses were worn, so i tried out FUSE lenses and its perfect for me. I have 5 different lense colors and can swap them out to whatever I want.

Way cheaper than buying new sunglasses and the lenses are all high quality

I have used most of the large manufactures and have had deals with a few of them. Coasta, Smith, Ray Ban, etc. When it gets down to it, Maui Jims are the best glasses for me. Best fit, most clear and clearest of all of them.

I dont have any deal with Maui, I pay for them like every one else

I fish with these B.N.U.S.
Polarized with green lens coating.

Made with real glass and Made in Italy. $70

I'd buy them somewhere other there Amazon but haven't found another seller


Amazon B.N.U.S. Sunglasses

I had a pair of Maui’s with rose colored lenses that I loved. Lost them on a lake in Oklahoma somehow. Bought the same frame with the grey lenses but I haven’t fished with them yet. Those rose colored lenses were great for redfish in the marsh.
