Default Favorite Sunglasses

What type of sunglasses does everyone wear.

I have Costa Del Mar Blackfins with 400 Grey lenses and I really like them.

Had some people tell me that Oakley lenses are better than the 580 Costa's.

Lets find out

My latest pair is the Costa "Corbina" 400 w/ green mirror. Just came out few months ago. Very comfortable. I also have the Costa "Permit" 400 w/ green mirror which I like for fishing cause they are very large frames, block out the sun well and comfortable. Never had a pair of 580s, can't justify spending the extra dough.

I will always have costas if I am spendeing money on glasses. I just got my first pair of 580's in fathoms and they are great. I bought them for an awsome price from Salty Shaw.

I've worn costas and Oakley.

Oakley has nothing on fishing like costa does. I have harpoon 580s copper lens green tent.

You get more sun on your face with them. But you can see so well in off colored water it's worth it

I think everyone in south la wears costas. I like costa glass but their frames are not great but I still buy them. 580 blue is what I wear.

right now i'm using two pairs of costas

green/amber 400 fathoms & copper/silver 580 harpoons

The harpoon frames really don't move at all while fishing & looking back while running, don't need a cord on them. I can't tell much difference on the lenses, the copper is a slight bit lighter but does just as good of job on/off the water without the green eyed look.

got mine here

I have the MP2 in blue mirror 580. Love em. Got them on steap and cheap for $85, normally $259. If you want some with 580 lens, keep an eye on steap and cheap, it took me only about 2 weeks to find mine on there.

Got a pair of these laying around IN THE BOX I will let go for $50 if there are any takers.

I have had 2 pair of Costas the first pair I had were green tint and when I went overseas I traded a buddy for a pair of black lenses because green tint was not authoraized. They got scratched up in the sand and my dog ate them later. Got another pair of those tortoise shell with green lenses and liked those for 2 years and..my dog ate those too. Now have a pair of $20 polarized Calcutta I think? They do what they are supposed to do, and my dog has not eaten them yet for some reason?
