How are the green lenses on overcast days? What about for driving? Little darker then the blue in my opinion but I wear the green all conditions even foggy.

I have the 580 green mirror. It's amazing how much more you see than everyone without them.
On a side note, stay away from Oakley. Since they became a part of Luxottica Group, their warranty isn't worth the paper it is written on.
The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/09/full-13-25328-gco.jpg)

For bass fishing, my favorite by far is 580g green mirror fathoms. I can wear these and adapt to any light conditions, and they seem to see through the water best for sight fishing. Cost is $249. They aint cheap but you get what you pay for with them, high quality.

The green are great for everyday use as well. If you buy 1 pair of glasses get the Green Mirror you will not be disappointed. Try on many frames to get the correct fit. +1 on trying them on first or be ready to exchange them for a frame that fits perfect.

My personal favorite is copper silver mirror.
A bit lighter than copper green. Many folks seem to forget about that option.

Id switch brands if I couldn't find amber lenses. By far the best color for bass fishing.

I'd rather be lost on the water than found at work!

A bit lighter than copper green. Many folks seem to forget about that option. For the last three pair of Costas, this has been my weapon of choice. I'll be making another order today with this same lense configuration in 580G

Everyday use on the water is 580 glass green mirror.
When it comes to sight fishing Silver Mirror is the way to go.

I wear the 580G Green Mirror for my everyday glasses. Fishing, driving, doesn't matter, I wear them.
