My oakleys are pushing 3 years, think its time to get a new pair of sunglasses. What does everyone have? I know they are the best for fishing but I refuse to get costas, don't ask me why

Gots me some Maui Jims. Wanted Costas, but has to have prescription, so I went with the Maui's and I have been VERY happy with them.

I dont think you can go wrong with alot of brands, Costa are the sunglass du jour now. But I had a pair of Mauis and really liked them better as far as comfort.

I like the lens on the Costa better, and my eyes dont seem as tired after all day.

I sell most of them and Oakley puts their money in the frames not the lenses. Costa and Maui Jim put their money in the lenses IMO that is the most important part of the sunglasses.

I suggest Costa 580 lenses with a frame of your choice.

Yes because sunglasses just make it so easy to see the water and below its surface.

Was told that costa doesn't have their own prescription lab where as Maui Jim does. Is that true?
