Costa Deep Blue with Blue mirror lenses. They have the hinge on the lens so the stretch out, this may help with headaches. I have had this pair for 3 years now and absolutely love them.

Hey bruce, the biggest selection I've found is at the tangiers outlet mall in gulf shores. you may have to bounch around to several different stores while there, but I pretty much found every frame they make there.

and I'm with everyone else, once you go costa you wont go back. I have the friggates with 580 green mirrored.

the Wiley X glasses have swappable lenses that have a lite padding that goes around your eyes, helps keep dust from going around the lense military does use them, my friend brought some back and I have checked his out they are awesome, I fish and I do a lot of reloading and shooting. I'd like to have a pair to fish with and have as a pair of safety glasses. Plus they look cooler! They also advertise in Bassmasters

Default Costas

I also use Costas. Used to use Hobies but the place I bought them quit selling Hobies and started selling the Costas. I used to buy the Bill Dance ones and ended up buying 2 or 3 pairs a year because of them being all scratched up. Bought the expensive ones and started taking care of them and actually come out cheaper because I take care of them and usually get 6 or 7 years out of a pair.

One thing to be careful of, I finally got in the habit of putting sunscreen on my face regularly and the glasses I wore had rubber on the arms to stop them from sliding. Well the sunscreen caused the rubber to degrade seriously. Sent 2 pairs back to Costa and they replaced them.

Oh they will hold up for sure. I sent Maui Jim an email specifically asking about that because I had some natives that got tore up in the saltwater. Only reason i bought some costas was i found some on steepandcheep for $65 with interchangeable lenses and i like the amber lens better I still rock the maui jims on really bright days

I ordered my first pair of costas last week. Hammerheads, silver teak frames.580 green mirror lenses. been fishing all my life with cheap glasses. I think its about time I step it up, my buddy left his pair of costas at the house and I took them fishing with me the next day. I was amazed at how much better i could see with a good pair of glasses. cant wait for them to come in!
