Sunglasses what does folks on here use

Sense GA. Bowman is doing some research on product upgrades, I'll throw one out. I've got a well seasoned pair of costa harpoons that has been scratched for a while now. I like the frames they fit tight to my face and I don't get any sun light from the sides. I've looked into replacing them with the same ones until I get to the cash register man those things are sky high I just can't make myself pull the trigger. So upon doing some research myself I found the Shady Rays brand. They look like something I would be happy with and have a great guarantee. So guys what say you.

Costas here. I have heard that if the frames gets broke then they replace the glasses no questions asked?!? Just saying.....

BTW, I was in Walmart a few months ago and found a pair of $20 sunglasses that looked almost the same as my costa glasses and I bought then for my Dad. I tried them on a few times trying to compare how they looked after looking thru mine. Wasnt quite the same but they wasnt bad. Mine have glass lenses where those were plastic....but for $20?!? And they are polarized too.

prescription -- the brighter the sun the darker the glasses
mine come with a bigdawgg warranty.
I tripped over a tackle box in the toon _hit my head on side rail knocked the lens out and Bigdawgg fixed um- no questions ask no postage and no charge- all free.
did have a nice shiner for couple weeks but it was free too :twocents :HandsClapping

Cocoon fit overs and clip on work for me but I wear glasses.

X2 on the prescription sunglasses. I never leave my home without them.

I got a pair of costas, polarized and with my prescription. Love them. I made a floating retainer with 30 lb. Fishing line and two bream floats just in case they hit the water!Attachment 444697

I use a pair of glass Costas in the boat. In the truck a well used pair of Oakleys

I do a lot of site fishing for bluegill beds in the spring and FishGillz is the closest thing that I can find that compares to my Costas
and they float if dropped in the water .they are plastic lenses but you can or could get a pair for about 50 bucks sometimes they have Bogo around this time of year. I have multiple pair of shady Rays and they are ok for driving but they scratch very easily and the polarized film comes off the lenses if you clean with anything other than water.

I have many with most the cheap $5 sunglasses from Walmart. I keep a pair laying around everywhere, every vehicle, etc. I do have and use my Pico sunglasses a lot when fishing.

Polarized Sunglasses

I have Costa prescription glasses. If nothing wrong with the frames the lenses can be replaced.

I've owned Costas since 2003, they replaced the original pair in 2008 at no cost to me. I still own this pair and have since added a second pair as a spare. I don't know how their new warranty/repair program is now...When I bought the first pair their warranty was like Cabelas, no questions asked to repair/replace. If you can swallow the original investment, the quality/warranty is the best value in my opinion.

Glad to see people falling on the dawggs boat and not just mine
Merry Christmas to all. Supposed to be in the 30s down here in Foley next weekend, brrr

$8 pair of WallyWorld clip-ons over my prescription glasses. Easy to see if the cloud cover changes rapidly- just a flip.

For a number of years it was the wally world $20 ones which I thought were great. About 10 years ago I bought an Abu reel that had a Wiley X promotion (free sunglasses) with it. At that point, I realized the difference a quality pair can make. As someone said about another brand, I used too harsh a cleaning product on them and the coatings came off and were ruined. I now have Costas with Glass lenses and LOVE em!

Not a fan of Costa’s. Had several pair and the frame nose pieces or the rubber on the frames failed. Bought some strike king polarized , been satisfied.

Had good luck year before last. My sister in-law worked as a demo agent. She gave me about 10 or 12 pairs of different sunglasses all wrap around except one and it was Helicopter glasses the fold up and fit in your shirt pocket. All were uv protection. Still got a couple pairs. I don't think I'll need to drop a dime anytime soon. :highfive

I'm a Costas guy. Got my first pair about ten years ago and realized there was a huge difference in them over cheaper ones I had been wearing. Their customer service is top notch too. I wear the Tuna Alley model and they used to have a rubber piece around the bottom of the frame and through the nose piece. After about 5 years it started coming off. About the same time I dropped mine on a tile floor and the nose piece split in half. I sent them back and they replaced the frames for $60-70. I didn't think that was too bad considering I caused the break... Flash forward to about a month ago and those same glasses started to crack on the nose piece again. I had one lens cracked from stepping on them in the boat too so I reached back out to Costa. Unfortunately my frames are older and they have been changed so "parts" aren't available any more. They were also out of warranty (which I figured was the case). With one cracked lens and the frames cracked I kind of expected them to tell me to buy another pair LOL They kind of did, but they gave me a 50% off coupon code to be used on their site. I thought that was very generous. I reckon it's time to replace my old glasses with a new pair!!

I didnt know what the warranty on Costas was. I just assumed lifetime for the price of their glasses.:yikes

I’ve been using RHEOS for last three years. They are polarized, and float! Nice glasses for a midrange price. It’s a Charleston based company with a good selection of models, frame and lens color options.

I have Shady Rays, They are ok but if I wear them all day it makes the side of my head hurt.. You could probably put new lenses in your costas. Google search for replacement lenses, I saw an ad for some company custom making lenses, cheaper then glasses
