I've been very impressed with my Native Hardtop Ultras. They were probably $100 cheaper than Costas or Oakleys.

They have Natives on Steepandcheap.com for $50 to $75 most of the time. I think Costa owns Native.

Where can a guy try on some of those locally?

I wear the Costa Fish because back then they were the only frames that would fit me of any sunglasses. Now that I've lost 130 lbs they are looser and I could likely wear something else.

I have purchased costas, Oakley, smiths, wiley x's, ray bans, etc. Granted I have spent some change on sunglasses. But I will only purchase costas as long as the quality holds up!

Way too expensive. I can get 10 pair for that price.

The cheaper ones are probably one size fits all. They do however have an 800 number you can call and inquire.

I have been very happy with my Natives. Had them about a year, and they've held up great.

I will also say this, about 2 months ago, I picked up a 6x6 to carry on my shoulder and my glasses were around my neck, snapped an arm off...... for $12 they sent me back my same lenses with brand new frames. Think I will stick with costa.


I'm a Costa die hard too & I can tell a difference between the lenses in most cheaper pairs. I lost a good pair of 580 glass lens Costas in Gulf Shores about 3 weeks ago that I'd had since 2011. My back up pair of 400 glass lens Costas are fine but I can tell they're heavier and I'll soon look for replacements. I might look at Maui Jims but I fully expect to come back to Costa
