Try not to get one with alot of rubber around the frame and lens. I have two pairs of blackfin 580's and the rubber is coming off of both of em. Im bout to try out some of the flying fisherman glasses,cost about 70 bucks. Tired of spending money on something that dont last.

i have 4 pair. I have a white pair of velas (i broke), tortoise velas with black 400 lenses (crappy while on the water), Brine tortoise with 580 green mirror (really like, but their my gf's) and a pair of Maya black frame with 400 black lenses (my everyday pair)

I second the green 580 lenses, they are bada$$.... Just don't drop them on a tile floor...Cost me 60 bucks to have the lenses replaced (they sent me a brand new pair)

Send them back to Costa they will fix them .The rubber came off my fathoms and they fixed them just for the price of shipping. They used a harder rubber and it has lasted for about three years so far.

I have 4 pairs , Two pair Fathoms ( green mirror ,blue mirror),Triple Tail ( black 580), Maya ( green mirror)

My favorite is the Maya for fishing , I wear the Triple Tail when I hunt.
The green mirror I think is the best on the water ,at least for me .

i have costa tripletails blu mirror/grey glass 400's and trptail vermilion lens, no mirror 580's for sight fishing. the 580's are a much better lens than the 400, no doubt.

X2 .. yep i think the blu or silver mirror w/ grey lens is the one recommended for general purpose.
