Get this garbage. My hook up was supposed to get me a pair of fathoms at his cost of $40. Well as time went on he's been a no show. Well today I see him at crew change and he says , hey man I got your glasses. I was like cool deal. Well, he gives them to me and the have a skull and crossbones on the side. The frame saiys made in China. I was like dude, what he heck is a calcutta? He says that's some costa's. I said really, he said yeah just like em. Well needless to say, I didn't get costas. However, before I left the platform, there was a school of fish down in the water> From as high as I was it looked like a cloud until I put the glasses on. I could see every fish. I've never owned a pair of costas, so i really wouldn't know the difference. These do have the vent holes on the side. He even had the nerve to put a costa lanyard on them with the costa logo.

well the calcuttas are nowhere near costas but they are decent glasses. they just dont hold up for very long and $40 sounds high for calcuttas. i heard the mirror finish will start to come off the lenses after a few months of use.
