Best polarized sunglasses???

[Sargent]

I have Costas and Maui Jims.

I prefer MJs.

Love the Costa 580G copper / green mirror but they are a little dark for early and late fishing.

I have to give a thumbs up to a pair of Costa Waverunners I have had for over 10 yrs. Hope I don't jinz myself because up until these I have either lost or sat on a many of pair of glasses never owning a pair over 3 months!

I have Costas and MJ's but have found the WalMart glasses to be just as good for me and waaaay cheaper. They used to be labeled as Berkley magnifiers but now are called Renegade magnifiers but are the same glasses as before. I wear them everyday for work, driving, fishing etc.

Costas > everything else. If you are cheap you can find a reason to not get t he costas or tell yourself another brand is better but at the end of the day costas get you your glasses back fairly quick if anything ever happens and they will repair anything for minimal cost. I have 3 pairs that stay in rotation for when one needs to go back to costa. The quality of the glasses and the warranty are unmatched.

Any suggestions for Prescription Wearers? Just got my new prescription and can’t use the old Script sunglasses.

After doing much research, here is what I found to be true for me:

Maui Jim makes the best prescription sunglasses.

Costas forever and always for me. Superior frame designs, lenses are as good if not better than everybody else's. The big kicker for me is Costa's support of the sport fishing industry, conservation, and a real commitment to sharing the sport with future generations. The people at costa are fisherman, and I appreciate that.

Costa all the way! Green mirror for saltwater or silver mirror for freshwater.
580G of course.

Used to love Costas, ended up loosing 2 pairs over 2 years, ouch. I now use Calcuttas at around $25. They seem (to me), to do everything Costas used to do for me. They are also hard wearing, no scratches for 2 years now. Unlike StrikeKing S11's which I really wanted to like. Their lenses are made with 11 special coatings. One layer includes a protective layer which is made of chocolate, I beleive. Terrible sunglasses.

What's your preference? I'm leaning towards Wiley X. I know Costas are the standard and Oakley's are great too. What do y'all think?

Wiley X Omega. Can't go wrong, plus they look cool too with the Kryptek pattern.

Check out www.skeletonoptics.com ZEISS lens. Very top shelf glasses. If you like them, use KHskeleton10 for a discount code. I personally use Scout series with Bronze lens. Lots of options.

When i wear Costas I see the reflection of my eyes looking back at my eyes. I find the Maui Jims are clearer for me. Oakleys treat me good too.

I get headaches wearing polarized while I drive so I only wear polarized outside of the vehicle now.

 

[JHannah92]

I've been wearing Calcuttas for years now. $20 or so on Amazon. Great shades at a fraction of the price of Costas. I'm sure the Costas are nicer, but not enough to justify the cost difference for me.

Whatever the brand, I usually use two pairs. The darker or green lenses for lake fishing are good, but they're way too dark and about worthless when you''re back in the woods fly fishing on a trout stream. The amber lenses are the ticket for trout fishing.

 

[StriperrHunterr]

Some of the best ones I've found are the Foster Grant frameless ones at Walgreens believe it or not. I love my Oakley's but they[re very expensive and the Cablz aren't always the easiest to use to keep from losing them. But for $19 for the FGs you get a great plastic lens glass that works well, is very lightweight, doesn't alter the way your hat sits, and breathes very well during warm and muggy mornings when other glasses tend to fog.

I caught my Costa Del Mar Hammerheads, with the 400G lens for $50....THey are AWESOME!!! Sadly I cracked one of the lenses and the only affordable replacements are crap.

 

[Mexican Squealer]

Smith or Maui Jims

 

[paulito]

I prefer my costas overall. Especially for long duration wear.

However, i did get a pair of Native Versa. These have inter-changeable lenses. Got them for $50 i believe at sierra trading. Them came with polarize grey and a non polarize amber. replacement lenses you can get for $30. Use them for work as i tend to scratch my glasses easily with all the junk i get into. These have held up pretty good. an fit well for me as i have a huge head. HA

 

[Throwbacksnapper]

I have Maui, Native, Costa, Serengeti 555nm. I like in order the Serengeti 555nm the most the Maui Jims then the Costas.
