I bought the Bajio and really like them so far.

I get Wiley x prescription glasses through work. They hold up pretty good and have a ton of different frames and lenses to choose from. No complaints.

Bajio as first choice. Its run by the guys who started Costa. They offer and honor (not that Ive used it) a warranty that is basically Costa's original warranty.
Smith as second choice. Specifically, the glass lenses. Poly scratches too easy and glass is significantly clearer.

I've got them all from smith to oakley to ray ban. I end up grabbing my goodrs as much as anything. IF im strictly fishing a location that I absolutely need the best clarity the smiths are great. But they are heavy and won't stay on my head otherwise.

I just filed a warranty claim and they honored it. They gave me a choice of sunglasses to choose from as the ones I had were no longer made.

I switched to Oakley Prizms. I hear good things about Bajio as well.

Been through them all, even got most of them for free.
After spending 250 days a year on a boat, its Mauis for me. And nothing else.
Right now, I am sporting the Local Kine with Blue Hawaii lenses.

Waterlands are a great product. They are great for fishing, driving, or sports.

20 years ago I loved Costa del Mar then Costa then their product went to crap and we no longer sell it. Now that i's owned by the world's largest optical manufacturer the quality just isn't there IMO.
We have been dealers for Bajio for a while now and have been really impressed. The guys I used to work with years ago at Costa started the company it's a great product and I think they will only grow. I really like their lenses for sight fishing down here.
Maui Jim is still a great line and lens. They have been recently bought by a larger company hopefully that won't affect their service to date it hasn't.
Smith was my favorite for a while but they recently changed their Rx program and it's very difficult to deal with and as a result we aren't using them as much. It's still a great product just different new program that I hope they improve on.

Maui Jims, I think I have the same model. One thing to note is they don't squeeze your head very hard, so they are prone to fall off if you are a "stick on your hat" type of guy. I like these for driving and all-day use. I wanted a glass lens to avoid scratches that are prevalent with other brands, and glasses that squeeze your head are annoying after a while when just driving.
That being said, I still use Oakleys for other stuff. I have a set I use for working in the yard, mowing, etc. I have another set I use for boating or at the beach. I like those to grip a little harder and I'm not worried as much about damaging them.
There was some stupid sale at Sunglass Hut at an outlet last year where I got the Maui Jims and 2 pairs of Oakleys for maybe $350 total. They allowed 50% off a sale price, one pair was $40.

Without any deductible or service charge? If so I may give 'em a shot again.
