Costa Del Mar Brine Sunglasses

How did I ever manage to work at a pool for an entire summer without these! These glasses are incredible. I had been living month by month with cheep Walmart sunglasses. Finally I followed a buddys advice, busted open the piggy bank, and bought a pair of the legendary Costas. I was afraid they might merely be good looking glasses with little functional value. This unfounded fear was wrought with fallacies. I bought these in April and it is now October. I have worn these glasses every single day since purchasing them. The plastic lenses have held up without any scratches and the frame is still very solid. To be fair, I baby these glasses after having spent such an ungodly amount of money on them. However, they are worth every single penny. The days of glare are over. They make fishing more enjoyable, outdoor work more tolerable, and your appearance more desirable! Really, what do you have to loose!?

Up until two years ago, I was wearing a pair of Costa Zanes with glass lenses... I had that pair for a pretty long time, wore them so much, the retainer cable I had finally broke... Well, as luck would have it, they fell of my face, hit the water while lipping one of the biggest Florida Strain Largemouths I had ever caught, and I couldn’t grab them before they sank to the bottom of the lake (was Carolina rigging in 27’ of water so, trying to fish them out wasn’t a possibility)... After losing that pair, I was so frustrated, I decided to never again buy expensive sunglasses; because I always seem lose them (someway, somehow)... However, after using cheap sunglasses for right at two years, I found these... I purchased the 580p lenses for two reasons mainly... One, they are more affordable and two, I’ve never wore the Brine (not sure of the fit)... I actually like the fit better than the Zanes (they are a little smaller and lighter), and couldn’t be more pleased with the lenses... They actually perform better than the glass lenses I had in my old pair (they were the 400p lenses), and make this pair even lighter... So my recommendation, if you are the type of person that spends any significant amount of time outdoors, investing ($100 - $250), in a pair of these is definitely worth it... If you’ve never owned a pair of Costa Del Mar sunglasses, you don’t know what you may be missing and if you have owned a pair; you know it’s pretty much impossible to be satisfied with a cheap pair of sunglasses... At this price, I believe these are the perfect pair to try out... Remember, they are a little bit smaller than pairs such a the Zanes or Fathoms by Costa but, the perfect fit it you want a pair of sunglasses that are snug and so light, you can forget your wearing them at all (I’ve walked into my office building and all the way to my desk more than once before I realized I had them on)... Just my $0.02...

I use these for saltwater fishing, sailing, kayaking, etc... open water use. The glass quality is terrific and the light weight is much appreciated. However the frames are a bit small (too narrow). I wish I would have tried them on before buying them but couldnt find this model in my local fishing gear store. They fit ok enough that Ill keep them.

Clear optics excellent lenses for plastic and the fit is perfect . Awesome for all day wear. You’ll forget you have them on. Very comfortable. And the price is way better than Costa website would ever offer. In case your wondering..they are originals not knock offs .. I visited the authorized dealers they are original unfortunately Costa customer service won’t budge on discounts and some retailers do however Amazon seems to have better prices . So buy with confidence. I purchased a second pair recently no regrets

This is my second pair of Costas. I have true blue lens and lighter reflective mirror. I use the blue for fishing All Day! They are great!!!! My only complaint is the width- how they hold true to my head and nose does stretch. It’s difficult to tighten the ‘grip’ back once stretched! If only they held true to the fit they arrived with.... my lighter lenses i use for professional landscaping. The lighter lense allows me to see lines with ease to sculpt perfect yard. Again, my only complaint is they easily stretch causing them to slide down. I have considered other brands, but for the style i like costa is about the best match... i do recommend
