Costa Del Mar Help and advice
 
Ok fellas, heres my dillema. Broke my most favorite pair of costas in half. Sent them off and I just got an email from them today stating my most favorite glasses have been discontinued. the good news is I get a free pair comparable to what I had.....I had ospreys before and I need another smaller frame pair as well. I would like to go ahead and email them back with which pair I want....but its really hard to tell which ones will fit and which ones wont from the website......also I had the green mirror 400 lens before and they were just a little too dark....any suggestions on which frame and lens I should go back with?

I failed to mention I've already bought a new pair of mp-2 frames that I like, but they are still just a little too big for my narrow *** face.

how did you get them back for free?

go to academy and try a few different pairs on

I think the stringers are pretty small frames..i plan to go to academy and try on those frames to see what would fit. I dont know about the fathoms..

if you are buying them for fishing i would go for the amber or vermilion lens...look at the costa site it tells you what each lens is good for

i have a narrow face and the turbines fit me awesome. my other del mars were to big for my face but these fit nicely. i got them with the 580 greens and love them

I have the triple tail green amber 400. They fit my face will. I agree, you should go to Academy or another store that sells them and try on some just to make sure they fit you right. That is what I did.

closest acadamys is an hour away, and all the places that sell costas around here are closed before I get off work........I wanted to email them back tonight, but I've just about decided I'm going to wait so I can call them tomorrow...see what it woud cost to upgrade to 580's or if they would even do it. I think I'm gonna go with the friggates....I remember those fitting good when I bought the mp-2's. wish I could have the ospreys back.

I'm not sure....the frames snapped in half right between the lens' while I was just slipping them on. I think there is a lifetime warranty on the frames. Regardless, I was ready to fork over whatever just to have those glasses back.

That's why I absolutely love my costa's, I would mud ride with mine on and they still aren't scratched!

yak'em-n-stack'em 11-09-2009 10:22 PM

i have the harpoons with the green 580s

BottomOfTheBoot 11-09-2009 11:08 PM

Triple Tail 580s here...but the spring on the left side doesn't spring back into place. Would I be able to send them back and get a new pair?

Chris Havoc 11-09-2009 11:25 PM

I do like the stringers too, guess I'm gonna have to find a way to sneak away from work so I can go try these on again.

Blue lens Fathoms are the best!!I have two pairs incase something happens I dont have to wait while they are being fixed.I also have a small face and they fit great,and I have owned several different ones.

Chris Havoc 11-11-2009 10:27 PM

I was able to stop my gander mountain today to try some on.....came home and ordered the friggates with the green mirrored 580 lens. The mp-2's will now be my backup.
