Costas
 

Looking at finally getting a pair of Costa's and was wondering which kind to get? I don't like the big thick framed ones so any other suggestions would be great. Oh and kind of lens? :help:

Thanks in advance,
Slick

I love my Man O' War's with the 580's and also have a pair of the Fathom's with the cheap lenses.

the reason for the tough plastic frame is so they don't get crushed while fishing

maybe try the ballasts

MY Fathoms are pretty light weight and I love them. I have a heavier pair of wave killers but with the slightest bit of sweat they just slide off my face. 580 silver mirror lenses with copper base.

To tell you the truth you are just gonna have to go to the store and try them all on until you find what YOU like because everyone is different. That is the best advice.

I just looked at the ballasts and they look pretty sweet. i might have to try those

Why waste your money? Buy the Oakley Half jackets with the Polarized lens. I love them and they put NO pressure on your nose at all...

Because Oakleys suck for fishing.

I have the harpoons 580 copper with green mirror.

Use them in muddy water
Fresh water
Clear water
Green water and blue water.

Amazing all the way around

X2. Go to a place like Bass Pro/Cabela's that carries almost every style. Try on all the ones you like and find best fit. Then go home and search for them on eBay. They will be $50-60 cheaper. And no, they won't be refurbed. :)

Seth, would have thought you had more sense than that.:D Try the Sunglass hut in any mall, usually a Hottie working behind the counter.;)

copper silver is the best i think

funny you mention that :grinpimp:

Last time I went to Sunglass Hut in Acadiana Mall, which has been a while, they didn't carry Costas. Don't have to go far in Lafayette to run into a hottie or two. :)

Stringer 580 with amber lens and LSU colored Cablez for the BLING ;-)

Acadiana outfitters has a big selection of costas it on hwy 90 going towards new iberia on the right. Oh and they have chics that work there.I just ordered the black permits with the silver 580 lens.

Harpoons/580 Copper
2 pair Fathoms to mow yard with.

Hey LCD let me have those nasty Wave Killers.

Thanks fella's keep them coming. They have so many to choose from. I guess the lens I would like is all around fishing and outdoors

Action Specialties on hwy 90 between New Iberia and Broussard has the biggest selection I've seen in the state. If the price is to high you could then get them on ebay, but you would know the kind you want

zanes tortoise with green mirror 580's there like fathoms but just a tad bigger....academys got em....

How about a pair of polarized calcutta or strike kings from academy? They are only $19.99........can they really be worth $150 or more? I've tried them on.....then put my cheapos back on and i dont see that much difference if any

The difference is the long term comfort and eyestrain. If I have a cheap pair on for too long it gives me a headache or makes my eyes hurt due to the poor quality of the lenses

When did I say they were nasty? I still wear them just not to fish in because I am scared of losing them.

GET THEM FROM EBAY!!! JUST GOT SOME BLACKFIN 580's for 65% off on ebay.
