Costa Alternatives??

So I just lost my second pair of Costa’s. This time fly fishing in Colorado. So no more 200 dollar sunglasses for me. What are some under 50 dollar alternatives?

Fun N Sun Carries Bomber sunglasses that aren't too bad. I think they're 50-70 bucks and they float. I these take instead of my costas when I'm going somewhere that I'm likely to break/lose my sunglasses.

Shady Rays, they may not last long, but they start out exceptional. Plus you get a free pair to claim if they break or get lost. Mine were great until they got a scratch mid lens.

I have some Typhoon Mariner II sunglasses that have served me well as inexpensive backups to my prescription Costas.

For that money you can buy Costas.

I recently bought 480 glass Cabalittos for $74 with free shipping. I like them because they have no foam on the earpieces. My last pair lasted 12 years till I lost them.

Cheap and costas dont go together for a reason. U wont find a cheap pair of glasses that will function like a pair of costas. You want to spend $70 get on step and cheap like was posted earlier.

But if I was buying good glasses that dont break the bank I'd buy the Strike King S11 lenses glasses. About $40 I think and pretty good glasses.

Smith Optics. Worn them for forever.

I wear ONOS. I needed the bifocals are couldn't find costa's without ordering them blindly.

You can find them on amazon and ebay for about $80

$20 polarized PUGS. If they get a scratch I pitch them and get another pair.

Strike King S11 optics. Designed for fishing and don't break the bank

I would buy a neck strap and some more Coastas.

I wear Cablz on all my glasses now. Got sick of loosing them in the lake!

You can find some good deals on both kaenon and Costas if you look around enough. Best cheap pair I've ever got was a pair or glass lens Magellan's from academy

Give Solar Bat a try. Very affordable and good glasses.

X2 and still managed to lose a pair of Costas off my hat last year.

good ones for the money

Strike king s11 is a very good choice

Smith on close out deals are a good value. I absolutely love mine as my Costas started to give me terrible headaches. I found some polarized chroma pop Smiths for $65 on Amazon and Backcountry.com.

Checkout XX2i Optics! You can not go wrong. They offer a 365 day satisfaction guarantee and a no questions asked lifetime warranty.

My favorites are the France 2. They are really light and comfortable to wear all day. They have great lens size for good coverage from the sun, available with poloarized lenses, and offer interchangeable lenses. So you can get Polar gray and Polar Bronze/Amber.

The greatest feature is the availability of readers/bifocals. Really important for us guys whose eyes are getting old.

Amphibia. They won't be $50.00 but they are great sunglasses, they float so if they fall off of your head while fishing they don't sink to the bottom of the lake and you don't loose them. I just got my pair with lenses that have readers built in for us guys who need them and don't have to switch out and put a separate pair of readers on to tie knots etc. Just got them and they are great in a pair of Hydrafoil Frames. Great fishing glasses.

Sounds like you need a neck lanyard for your glasses.
