Default Favorite Sunglasses

What type of sunglasses does everyone wear.

I have Costa Del Mar Blackfins with 400 Grey lenses and I really like them.

Had some people tell me that Oakley lenses are better than the 580 Costa's.

Lets find out

My latest pair is the Costa "Corbina" 400 w/ green mirror. Just came out few months ago. Very comfortable. I also have the Costa "Permit" 400 w/ green mirror which I like for fishing cause they are very large frames, block out the sun well and comfortable. Never had a pair of 580s, can't justify spending the extra dough.

I will always have costas if I am spendeing money on glasses. I just got my first pair of 580's in fathoms and they are great. I bought them for an awsome price from Salty Shaw.

I've worn costas and Oakley.

Oakley has nothing on fishing like costa does. I have harpoon 580s copper lens green tent.

You get more sun on your face with them. But you can see so well in off colored water it's worth it

I think everyone in south la wears costas. I like costa glass but their frames are not great but I still buy them. 580 blue is what I wear.

right now i'm using two pairs of costas

green/amber 400 fathoms & copper/silver 580 harpoons

The harpoon frames really don't move at all while fishing & looking back while running, don't need a cord on them. I can't tell much difference on the lenses, the copper is a slight bit lighter but does just as good of job on/off the water without the green eyed look.

got mine here

I have the MP2 in blue mirror 580. Love em. Got them on steap and cheap for $85, normally $259. If you want some with 580 lens, keep an eye on steap and cheap, it took me only about 2 weeks to find mine on there.
