Costa del mars
 
buying a pair of costas, what is your preferred lens, I am getting the 580 but im not sure about color

isnt green the best for muddy water?

im getting them for 60% off so price is no problem, prolly gonna just stick with the fathom frames or maybe harpoon

Hopedale Hustler 08-16-2009 10:17 AM

man im religous with my costas....i have 2 pairs both 580 lens one is hammerheads (mah favorite) with the blue lens..and the others are black fins with the green lens..my hammerheads cracked about 3 weeks ago so i sent them to costa and have been wearing my blackfins with the green lens..and i can honestly say that the blue lens is all around better in any kinda water...im on the water more than most average people and weather its 1 foot or 10000 feet blue is the way to go...maybe its just my personal preference but thats wat i think....you wont be unhappy with costa del mar its the best u can get on the water...and them harpoons are nice.

I wear ballasts for just everyday. I have a pair of permits that just came out this year. I love them. They are kind of bigger sized frames but they cover your face well and are very comfortable. I also have a pair of turbines. I have a buddy that had hammerheads they are nice but his wife ran them over and costa wouldn't cover it. I have another buddy with blackfins and they are cool too. I actually almost bought some blackfins with 580s brand new on eBay other day for $160! Look on eBay they have great prices!

i have the turbines with 580 green lenses. have tried both blue and green on the water and i personally cant tell the difference. but the difference between the 580's and 400's is night and day to me. i wear my 580's all day till i go to bed rain low light any condition i can see better with them on. the 580's are the best glass i have ever put on my face. i paid 230 at a local shop here. most of them off ebay arent licensed and id rather support local guys than some chink from china.

I am addicted to mine, I wear them even when it's cloudy b/c it cuts the glare so well. I like the green mirror but they tend to sunburn your face faster with the mirror tint.

I had problems with delamination but now I only clean mine with water and a tshirt = no problems

if you can get another pair 60% off let me know my order will be in

We sell them and I always go back to the blue 400 lens Brine gunmetal my favorite by far

I am getting old. I wear anything with the cheaters on the bottom so I can see to tie a lure on my line.
Last time I went fishing, my bilge light came on and when I looked back at the bilge outlet, my glasses came off, in the ship channel, running 45 mph.
Talk about hard to tie a knot in 12 lb. green mono without them. Sun killed me too.
I am going to start leaving an extra pair of cheapo's in the boat just for that...:cool:

green mirror. fro, what i was told was that green mirror is for saltwater and the blue mirror is for offshore. Kinda makes sense though if u think about it.

Hopedale Hustler 08-16-2009 08:24 PM

ya thats wat i was told also..but i deck hand off shore charters and am inshore wen i aint off shore..blues all around better..just an opinion.

Capt. Matt Caire 08-16-2009 08:54 PM

Hustler how u like the blackfins? i got the hammerheads and love them. was just looking at the blackfins to have to wear around with the silver lenses. The only problem i find with mine is that the hinges on mine leave a green spot on my face after a long sweaty day.

Hopedale Hustler 08-16-2009 08:57 PM

i aint neva had that prob wit the green spot...i love mah blackfins..they got the green lense..i wear mah hammerhads to fish and mah black fins when im not ...both are awsome pairs of glasses.

SULPHITE 08-16-2009 10:02 PM

got triple tails with prescription lens...they are worn everyday...love em

cmdrost 08-17-2009 10:07 AM

depends on what fishing you do most.

Green lens inshore, blue lens offshore. I have a pair of each for just such a reason. Blue lens is better for brighter days in general (what I wear daily). But I can see much deeper into the water on Big Lake with my green lens.

The green lens is a green reflective glass over the vermillion lens.
The blue lens is same over the standard black/gray lens.
