I had an old pair of Costas where the rubber on the temples had deteriorated. These were over 5 years old and they were the more expensive models with the reading window in the lower part of the lens. I sent them to Costa to have the temples replaced and to go ahead and bill my credit card. They sent me a brand new pair of Costas - same model - for free. I am a faithful customer for life.

f you are going to sight fish , copper or amber based lenses are best. For full bright sunny days i use green mirror 580G that are amber backed. For cloudy situations i have a pair of 580G copper lenses.

I would argue that yellow lenses are the best for sight fishing. I absolutely love my yellow lensed Kaenon's. Only problem is that when the sun gets to kicking I have to switch lenses, which makes it necessary to fish with two pairs of glasses.

I would agree, the yellow lenses are good for lowlight and cloudy conditions. Costa came out with a yellow lens last year called, sunrise. I havent tried them yet.,but i heard they are good.

This guy is a bit corny, but you get the idea with the yellow lenses. Having both Kaenon and several pairs of Costas, Kaenon's win in my book. Looking to get another pair for brighter conditions. As he points out, they are great for early morning boat riding/driving, etc.
