If you rub the lenses too hard or get them wet and just rub the water off, the lens coloring and polarizing effect will rub right off.

I went for a run and got rained on for a brief bit. When I wiped the glasses off on my shirt, the lenses were ruined. Had to throw them away after that.

I stopped buying them after the 2nd or 3rd pair lasted about a month.

on my computer screen, sunglasses turn dark at 90 degrees like the pic above. On laptop, it's more like 45 degrees. On cellphone, it's 45 degrees, but the opposite way.

So not a consistant thing.

I've had a couple pair of Costas fall apart in the last year or so....the linses are geat, the frames suck.

The rubber on the frame/nosepiece seems to deteriorate and/or come unglued easily. Friends have same issue.

Another pair I just bumped into my car door (while wearing them) and the arm snapped off. These were the new "eco" frames made out of recycled fishing nets or something. Weak as heck.


Maui Jim is way out front IMO.

Serengetis are great quality too. Find a vintage pair made by Corning Optics (pre-2000 I think) and they last you a lifetime. I have a few of those and they are righteous. And the newer ones aren't bad, just not quite as good as the vintage. Like Ray-Bans -- the vintage Ray-Bans (Bausch & Lomb) are the ones to get and cherish. New Ray-Bans, with some exception, are mostly trash.

My next pair with be a pair of Smiths I'll prob get before I go to the Keys in may. I think Maui lenses are better than everyone else's, but their frame styles are kind of dated, and limited.

I used EyeBuyDirect to get some Ray Ban Justins polarized blue mirror prescriptions a couple of years ago.

Uploaded a picture and tried on a number of different ones. If you find a pair you like, select the options you want and put them into your cart, but don't buy them. Leave them in the cart until they send you a discount email in the next week or two for 30% or so off your glasses and 50% off the lenses and then pull the trigger. I ended up getting $91 off the list price. It's worth a try.

Used to wear Costas, but they jumped the shark. Ray Bans are a classic. Kaenon makes nice shades.

I’m currently wearing a pair of Maui Jims. I like them a lot, but they are spendy. Don’t know if I’ll buy another pair.

rotation since my Costa's nose piece broke. Each pair cost about $35-$40. Goodr are probably the "best" but I have had the polarization film scratch up pretty easily on previous ones. The Blenders ones are pretty good for just throwing on to drive around town. My daughter likes their Volleyball glasses for Beach VB. The Knockarounds are just because they are Grateful Dead themed and they feel, by far, the cheapest of the three.

The Goodrs are both the regular ones and the aviator ones, they seem to be the best/lightest, but I keep losing them and one pair started to "melt" on my dash in the sun.
