Don’t know how many of y’all wear sunglasses, but I’m in the market for a new pair. I have several pairs of Costa’s but they are worn out.
Looking for polarized and safety approved. Need them active worthy also. My Costa’s won’t stay up on my head anymore even walking.

If you are not afraid to pay too much check out fly shops and outfitters- lots of great but not cheap stuff for a man on the go

I just bought a pack of 12 pair on Amazon. With the rate I destroy sunglasses there was no other way LOL. Not sure if they are polarized, but they work just fine and are CSA/UL approved safeties


Just happy to be here.

I found a sunglasses case in the road and it had a brand new pair of Maui Jims in it. I love them, but they are pricey.

Oakley’s don’t offer much as far as polarized. I’ve heard lots of good reviews about Flying Fisherman glasses. Never had any myself. I have a couple pair of Costas and they’re almost too tight, but I’m sure different models fit differently. The Bluefins don’t even move, they wrap around the head and are snug. The Jose’s are not so tight, but plenty secure and I prefer them.

Calcutta makes a good sunglass for the price.
I use their Steelhead model, on my 6th season with them.
And their logo is a skull and cross bones with a fish in it's mouth

My Costa’s are over 10 years old or better. Over time they’ve just worn out. I don’t mind paying for quality either, as long as it lasts. I had some Oakleys before and the lens scratched pretty easy.
Was looking at Wiley X just for their safety rating. Anyone have a pair or heard any pros or cons about them?

I had a pair of Wiley X I got on sale at Gander and really liked them right up until my lab puppy puppy got ahold of them.

What model were they?

They do. But it doesn’t cover “normal wear and tear” anymore. Whatever that means. I assume its just a way for the latest owners to do away of the lifetime warranty.

Im liking my Shady Ray's so far. My biggest problem with sungalsses is finding ones that have frames that will last. Invariably one of the "legs" will snap on the walmart special glasses.

I sent my 12 year old Costa's in because they wouldn't stay on any more. They sent me a new pair.
