I didn't like the ones I had. Other people could see things I couldn't. I don't think the polarization was that good. I use Solar Bat now and they are awesome. Let me know if you want a contact.

I won a gift card to their at a golf outing.  didn't kno if they r worth keeping or throwing them on eBay? I kno they r $175+ sunglasses but at the same time this company isn't really known for fishing sunglasses as much as other companies. I'll guess I'll give em a try when I get em and see how i like them.

I read some bad reviews on the solar bat regarding durability.  You haven't had any problems with yours Mike?

I've had mine almost a year and wear them daily. They hold up just fine.

I wasn't a fan of the Maui's I had.  They were heavy and broke.  Conversely, I've had a pair of Costas for over 8 years and they are still holding up great.  Time for a new pair tho.

Ya that's what I want is a pair of costas.  I figured I could just throw the maui's on eBay or something and use the $$$ toward a pair of costas. Any ideas on how to sell em quick other than eBay? ???

I like  Ray Bans  with wrap around  ear wires. They stay on my face.

I've had prescription Costas for years. I can see better in the water with the old Vermillion colored lens than lots of people I fish with. If I get around to updating the prescription I could probably see a lot better!

Even though I can't sight fish as good as I used to I still often get in the boat with people who say they can't see all the things I'm seeing. I really like it when they start giving me the 'you're just making that stuff up' look because then I know I really have them!!! ;D
