Personally, my favorite pair is whatever I have laying around with the fewest scratches at the time! Normally, they say something about being Z87 on the lens somewhere. Yeah, I'm cheap!:*****:

well it must mean something when these guys wear it for a specific reason also...

I have a pair of Costa Man O' War 580's and a pair of Costa Fathom's with the cheap lenses in them that I wear while doing things that I may break the glass lenses with (mowing the yard, working outside, etc.)

:*****:

Sunglasses, too? :eek:

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?

Dead Dog! :pissed:

i got the wiley x's from my podnuh in the marines -wouldnt give me his special forces issued oakleys polarized half-frames..

the oakley's oil drums were given to me by a medic in the army .

i used to sandblast /paint offshore and they wiley x's was nice to have(if it can handle iraq/afghan--it can handle GOM sandblasting...

for anybody that uses sunscreen on their faces.....know how bad it sucks when you start sweating and the sunscreen starts dripping in your eyes!!!:eek:


the wiley x's remedies this , ...

either way....i know if something hits the glasses, i know for a fact it aint gonna shatter

I had a pair of bolle vipers I think they were called? Good pair of shades. Lost them in vermillion bay then switched to costa. Might switch back after these 580s break.

I've had a pair of Oakley half jackets with the polarized lenses for 5 years now, They fit me well and I like that I can go to the sunglass hut in the LC mall and get replacement lenses.

for like 20 bucks right?? man replacements for my oil drums are 40 ...that's almost half another pair of shades.....

I bought a cheap used pair of the amber CR 39 lens fathoms on ebay that I use for everyday BS. That way if something happens its no big deal. My first pair of costas were the wave killers. Good glasses but way to heavy to not have nose rubber grips. Slightest bit of sweat and they slide right off with ease. My 580 fathoms are perfect for fishin.

harpoon 580's green mirror tint...lost them when the saints won the super bowl...drove straight from N.O to lafayette academy and bought the same pair...ive had 400's and 580's IN MY OWN (expert) OPINION the 580 lenses blow the 400's out of the water

this pair is what mine are

Costa rincon blue mirror 400s

Costa osprey w/ removable side shields for wind
Costa MP2
Costa thresher
Costa lash


All 400 lenses in different colors........

I wear em all depending on the situation.....

Oakley Half jackets with Polarized lens for me...

I have a pair of grey/blue fisch 580s. love em.

I got a pair of WileyX, and there great for freshwater fishing comfortable too, I don't have the padded ones they just don't feel right. I got the same pair skeet reese wears!

I have costa fathom 580's with blue lenses and silver frame

They have a nice pair of oakleys on steep and cheap for the next 7 minutes. $50 regular $150
