what kind of frames yall got?

gulf shores ate my harpoons monday gonna get a new pair soon

I just bought the brine and so far I love them

I have the black triple tail green mirror 400. My next ones will be the black harpoons with the 500 series green.

Brines are nice! My dad has those i like them alot, just dosent block out as much sun as my Blackfins.
A buddy has a pair of the Fisch they are pretty bad arse also

580 Green Mirror :D

I have the 580 green mirror too

im gonna go try some on tomorrow

DEW IT!

hammerheads, silver teak frames, green mirror 580's

i like the brines, they are super lite

Rincon white frame blue mirror 400s

fathoms with blue lenses,got one for work and one for play

I'm going with 580s
Prolly green. Cuz I've had luck inshore and off. And I fish both

Great decision!

if you go with the 580's , make sure you get the glass and not the polycarbonate lenses

I have a extra pair of 580 tripletails hinge is kinda screwed up but I'll sell em cheap n u can send em back for new warranty ones

I have two pairs of fathoms. Just right for me! But I always say it doesnt matter what everyone else has, you just have to go try them all on and see what works for you. Everyones face is different.

i have fathoms, silver frame, blue lenses,580

I have Permit and Corbina. Bought the Corbinas not too long ago, they came out a few months ago. They are most comfortable Costas I have even worn. I saw some other ones that just came out that looked pretty sweet too, Fantails and Caballitos.

I have Fathom frame with 580's. They fit me well. You really need to go to Academy or other sporting good store so that you can try them on in person and see if that style fits your needs such as fitting on your nose well and no undue pressure on your ears. You want comfort over looks of the frame.

gunmeatle brine with silver mirror 580

Got what ever got reader in them.
Gettin old I guess.

Now trying to decide between the fisch and cabalito

I think the fisch may be the next pair I buy, I need to check out these cabiltos

Cabalitos are a smaller version of fisch.

They really block out everything. I think I have a big enough head for them too

I dont know about them Cabilitos its damn near the Black Fins but with out the grip, once you start sweating they going to be prown to sliding IMO.

Can speak for the fisch frames. I have a wide head and they fit well. 580s

Think I'm gonna go with the fisch 580 green mirror

Tortoise color

White frames?
 

According to my Costa brochure, the Rincon model only comes with shiny black or tortoise frames. Perhaps you have a different model, or they've changed the frame colors for this year?:confused: I've got the tripletail in black with the cr-39 gray lenses. Went to Action Specialties this week and tried on quite a few pairs. Sometimes there can be too many choices! The silver teakwood is a really nice color on the Hammerheads, but the arms feel a bit too stiff for my taste and don't wrap around your head. The Fisch are nice but are really big. The Tag probably fit me the best out of the ones with the Hydrolite for gripping your face while sweating. The Brine were real light but only have the smaller silicon nose pads which don't grip your nose as well. Thought about getting a model with white frames for a different look, and the Caballito looks good, they just were a bit too snug and would probably give me some pain after several hours on the water. The silver frames look different but do look a bit cheap. Will probably go with the Tag's with tortoise frame in blue 580 mirror when I decide to pull the trigger!

Jordan bought me a pair of the brines for Christmas. They're the tortise withh the 400 green lenses. I love em.

Austin-Get the white framed costas like Pookie had @ Toledo last year!

If you have a big head/wide temple, Fisch for sure. I can wear them all day, along with my 7 3/4 fitted hat.

Great idea

Yeah.
Sometimes I can't wear a fitted hat because they don't have my size. 7 3/4 is my usual

ditto.. But for some reason, the stringers fit me nicely, more so in the face/lenses then head, but super light and comfortable

Most places don't carry that large, my ex bought my hat online. The blue Texas Rangers hat. Can't miss me, I'm the only one in LC I've seen with the blue Texas hat.
