I hate those titanium frame ones. I have 3 pairs of those given to me over the years. I rock peahi's and island time's now.

Not over priced, as good as any others and built for sport. Dozens of styles and lens/frame combos. great warranty and tougher than hell. They are vented, built on grips and doubt you could knock them off your head. Built originally for skiers.

Check out Native. Comfortable quality shades with multiple styles and won't break the bank.

They are vented with rubber nose pads.

Native.

Originally they produced ski glasses then took that expertise to making sunglasses. At list price, you wouldn't pay over %150 but I usually find mine on discount sites for $50-$80. Many models have easily replaceable lenses that come with them.

Hobie Polarized.

Catch them on sale for $25 each.

You lose them no problem, grab a new pair from the truck.

Try Sunclouds, around $50-$80 and they look through the lenses just like Costas. Dropped mine at work on the parking lotconcrete and scratched the lense, but they didn't break. Might get another pair and might see if glasses shop can buffer out the scratch. Let me know if anyone knows how to do that.

Costas or Maui Jims. I've had about 4 pairs of MJ's since about 2005 or so. Love them, but had a bad habit of losing them!


Just bought a set of Costas with the 580g lenses and I am thoroughly impressed.

IMO, Costa and Maui Jim are head and shoulders above everything else. Take your pick of which style you like best from either of these two and you won't go wrong.

I decided on the Costa Jose's with 580 lens and tortoise frames. I'm not 100% sold on them, but the wife says I look more of a grown up and NF in these over the others I liked.
