I also use Costas. Used to use Hobies but the place I bought them quit selling Hobies and started selling the Costas. I used to buy the Bill Dance ones and ended up buying 2 or 3 pairs a year because of them being all scratched up. Bought the expensive ones and started taking care of them and actually come out cheaper because I take care of them and usually get 6 or 7 years out of a pair.

One thing to be careful of, I finally got in the habit of putting sunscreen on my face regularly and the glasses I wore had rubber on the arms to stop them from sliding. Well the sunscreen caused the rubber to degrade seriously. Sent 2 pairs back to Costa and they replaced them.
