Now is a good time to try another brand. I know this board is a one trick pony when it comes to shades, but there are other brands than costa.

Most of these threads are people being baw-hipsters talking about how much better their favorite brand is than costa. Bipsters, if you will. Maui jims don't pull tail at the hwy 3087 rouses like a pair of brines.

I’m guessing you’re the one not wearing sunglasses?

Costa lenses are great
Costa frames aren't so great. The rubber detaches from the frame after a while. Had a pair of "Brine" that did this and most recently a pair of "Fantail". I suspect the adhesive breaks down if you leave them in the car during the summer months

I have a pair of the Cat Cay Costas and before I had the Tuna Del Mar's. I lost the Tunas while jetskiing one day...my thing is, they're marketed for water...why dont the sumbitches float?

I got mine back today. They replaced the frames under warranty due to rubber degradation.

I've been seeing these advertised on Instagram a lot lately. Don't know anyone that has them but may be worth a shot.

In the last thread a lot of people mentioned Calcutta’s- which are $20-30 on amazon. They have some frames that look just like costa fantails. My pair of fantails has the aforementioned rubber falling off the frame issue- and been debating sending them for warranty or just trying the Calcutta’s. Can anyone speak to their quality?

Looks like I'll be making a call to Costa this afternoon. Glad to hear they took care of the issue.

I had a pair of 2-3 year old Costa Blacfins that I wore everyday, the rubber came off so I spent the $12 to send them in and got them back in about 2 weeks from the time I sent them off. Costa replaced the frames under warranty.
In the mean time I ordered a pair of Calcuttas off of Amazon. I used them to do some freshwater fishing this past Sunday and they were really nice, especially for $30. I like my Costas and will continue to wear them. I also think the Calcuttas are of a very nice quality and would probably buy another pair if I lost/damaged them.

#Metoo, I did everything online. You will have to pay shipping there, ($4-5) and the $11.95 fee that Costa charges but they should replace the frames. The $11.95 does include shipping back to you.

just an update.... went to walmart and picked up a pair of strike kings for 19 bucks and a pair of spiderwires as a back up (amber lens) for 14. under $40 bucks and I'm back in business with a backup pair.
