I'm getting tired of buying pair after pair of $20 glasses. I get a couple weeks use out of them and throw them away. I'm always scratching them up just keeping them clean. I'm going to break down and buy a "real" pair. Any suggestions on what's worked well for you? My main concern is lense durability. (SCRATCH RESISTANCE) Who makes a pair that can handle LOT'S of cleaning? Thanks...gary

For a hundred bucks you can get the Bass pro brand. I have been using the pair I have for about 3 years now every day and have them now and they do not have any marks. I have drop them kicked them and just pretty much abused them and they are still going strong. I am in no way saying any other brands are not good.
I was doing the same thing...I bought enough cheap ones to pay for some good ones...just recently invested in some Maui Jims and love them....my eyes don't seem to be as strained after a day of fishing...

loved my costa "fathoms" but the rubber on the frame disintigrates after a year of hard use..got some maui jim fishing wrap arounds (can't think of the name ) and freakin LOVE em very lightweight and awesome optics...remember all plastic lenses will scratch over time..if your looking for a deal on good glasses try http://www.campmor.com !! have bought several pair over the years..good service and sometimes great prices
As for your Costa Fathoms, I have the same one's and have had the same problem;but if you return them , they will give you a new pair.Free. I have done it twice.

Great site, I ordered some polarized glasses on the spot. No more cheapos for me.

OAKLEY! If you want to quit playin' round and see what's in the water get some! Their process for actually polarizing their lenses is different from other companies.
