Yeh I would think amber lenses would be the best for duck hunting. Mirror would be no good cause they would flare em and they also make things alot darker. I bought some of those camovision glasses a few years back. Pretty cool. U look like a goober in em though!

Maui Jim canoes or the long boards better than costas

I had some triple tails few years ago too. They vanished out my camp during teal season. Never saw em again. I got Corbinas and Permits. Like em both, but Corbinas are most comfortable Costas I have ever worn. Both 400s in tortoise shell with green mirror.

You gotta be more specific,I use em for deer hunting. I only duck hunt a few times a year.

I've been thinking about buying a lair of costas. Are the 580's really worth the $$$$$???

youu_whoo_whoo 10-12-2011 09:16 PM

My personal oppinion is yes. I truly do like and enjoy my glasses. However, these are my first pair of "pricy" glasses so i have no others to compare it to. I have worn someones 400's on the water and my 580's are noticibly better on the water but wearing them everyday there is not much of a difference between 400s and 580s in your yard or driving.

Like Kenner said, I have sent 2 pair back and they replaced them. They may let you upgrade.

They say sunscreen is what causes this.

I have two pairs of the flying fishermen, I have an amber lens and a amber/ green mirror, the green mirror/ amber lens sucks in the a.m. and have a pink tent instead of a real amber. I've wore WILEY X glasses in amber and they have a much better lens.

Old brine is awesome!! New brine sucks!! Arms flare way out, touchs ears

I duck hunt with my green mirror 580's. I usually remeber to take them off when I start working ducks. Those bright blue bird days are brutal sometimes though.. always keep them in my blind bag for sure though.

Not as well known as costas, but Smith Optics makes better lenses than costas. I have both, and don't use the costas any more..Very good customer support.

I had a pair of the Osprey with the 400 lenses and broke them while in Key West. I bought a pair of Brine with the 580 blue/green lenses within 10 minutes. The Brine or nice but I wish they still made the Osprey cause those things were awesome on the water.

evis102 10-13-2011 11:13 AM

I like the Costa Brine series with amber lens. Worth every penny.

Jordan 10-13-2011 11:17 AM

going to cost me $49 to get a new pair of frames.

BIRD DOG 10-13-2011 11:48 AM

Ive got two pairs of Fathoms blue with 580g,one for work and one for dress.I also have a pair of hammerheads blue with regular glass.I am extremely rough on my glasses and Costa ALWAYS fixes them! I even stepped on a pair I set down in a boat and they fixed them for cost of shipping.They actually just sent a new pair.If you buy Costas it will be the last pair you ever have to buy unless you loose them

mcjaredsandwich 10-13-2011 12:06 PM

I have a pair of fisch blue 580's...thinking about selling them and getting a different frame style. I love them, but want a different frame.
