I cracked a lense on my Costas this weekend.

I give glasses a hard time. I need strong durable glasses!

Opinions?

If you're that rough on them I'd just buy some Strike Kings or something cheap. I'd rather lose $15 than $200

$10 ones from the gas station and keep 3 of 4 pairs in the truck. After breaking many costas, and Oakley’s I just keep crap ones unless I’m sight fishing

That's what I do with reading glasses. Got 4 pairs; one in the car, one in the truck, one at my office,...


Sig Sauer, to hell and back reliable.

Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death.

Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?

I love my Maui Jim's, but wear Crossfire polarized grey safety glasses most of the time. Comfortable, light, and it don't hurt when I scratch a pair bad enough to toss them.

Wiley x glasses are ansi certified. My pair of Wiley's lasted 5 years in the Marine Corps and now 4 years of farm and yard wear. They are my working sunglasses.

I have ANSI certified Oakley's. They are tough but I don't like them. They are a nice pair and polarized but I often have to lift them up. Just not clear enough in that in between light. Also, I can't ever really wipe them clean. Always smudge. I miss my Ray Bans. Much more crisp and easy to clean. But not as tough.

To me, as far as sunglasses go(for shading the sun), Costas are the end all. I am in the sun on a boat just about everyday. I have to have good sunglasses. Costas for me

x2 on the Crossfires. They are some good glasses for the money. Even their cheaper, non polarized lenses are great. I wear them until they break.

I paid almost $300 for a pair of Maui Jim’s that aren’t worth a damn. Yea, their polarized lenses are okay but the frames are complete garbage IMO.

My all time favorite polarized lens is the 580 silver mirror glass from Costa.

I know we all have different experiences, but my revolvr's didn't last but a year, the coating was coming off the lenses, and after 4 Emails fell on deaf ears i said piss on em. I mean they're supposed to be a veteran owned company correct?

Barry i love Oakley's (have 3 different frames with no lenses) but I've had better luck out of my Costas, the lenses have been more durable for me...

I don't know if they are veteran owned. I'll have to look. No experience with the revolvr. Mine are the p17 and they have been solid and have taken a beating.

I'm pretty sure they're. I had the same problem with them as the Oakley's, the lenses started to discolor (coating coming off?) they were all polarized, and i guess should've called, because I'd rather speak to someone than Email, but i never did.........

I have switched from the hi dollar sunglasses to polarized Calcutta's. For 20-25$ I have been quite pleased. If they break I figure I get a new pair, the good thing is I haven’t broken them yet.

Have had two pairs. Neither made it through one summer. I know they are cheap, but they aren't a shadow of a premium sunglass model.
