High def brown lenses are best for fishing. A lot cheaper and better quality than Costas or any other brand out there.

Maybe so. But the name eliminates me. "Bucci"! WTH? Can do it. Sorry. Sounds like a knock off of Gucci. Another brand I would NEVER own. And to look like I was trying to have Gucci on a budget. No way. Lol

Give me my Oakleys or regular old Raybans.

I go back and forth between the Hank Parker Mustad amber and the Strike King S11's. I can see better with either one of them and don't get as upset when, not if, they get lost or break.

That's where you and I are different. I'm not caught up in the name brand. I'm only concerned with quality, durability and price. I posted the link because I've owned a pair of these glasses since 1986 and just recently lost them over the side of the boat and had to order a new pair. They are not Gucci knockoffs. If you call and place an order you will speak with David Bucci, founder, owner and CEO for past 30+ years. They have great lenses. The last pair I had were glass lenses, amber in tint and the contrast these lenses produced for fishing were second to none and after almost 30 years of use they held up remarkably. Sadly they don't offer those lenses anymore but the brown high def are really close in clarity and a lot cheaper than the glass. You can spend your money on the name, Oakley, Ray Ban, Costas, Amphibian, whatever. Everyone has their preference. Just thought some might want an option to the overpriced market of "specialty sunglasses".

Seems if you want the clarity of glass, they are about the same $ and Costa offers more options. I've never personally seen better contrast than my Copper 580G's have given me. But, if they work for you, I'm happy for you!

and all that is within me,

I have discovered the 4.97 berkleys at academy recently. The way I go through sunglasses, losing them and breaking them and whatever else, I buy 3 or 4 pairs of these at a time and it is not so painful when something happens and they are actually good glasses. I broke down and bought a $160 pair of cost as once and it was not a good feeling when they fell off my hat and then I heard a crunch when I stepped on them.

The last pair I bought were the amphibia sunglasses in amber/wave(blue) because they have an air cell frame which allows them to float if tossed overboard (I've tested this out and it works) they are also super light weight and fit very comfortably and tight! I have lost too many pairs of expensive sunglasses over the side of the boat before and now never have to worry about it again. I was very pleased with quality how clear and crisp these lenses are! Being used to Oakleys the amphibias blew them away in my opinion. Best fishing sunglasses I've owned so far.

I'll probably wear Costa the rest of my life. I've tried Oakley, Wiley-X, Ray Ban and about a dozen cheap brands and nothing has ever stood up to Costa.

I am as well. Love the Klays and the Kanvas frames with G12 or C12 lenses. I have never had lenses hold up so well as I have with Kaenon plus the clarity is among the best in the business.

I am a big Kaenon fan as well. However I called today and tried to get some new lenses because of a scratch and you have to send them in and they wanted $140 for new lenses. Can buy new for $200 or less with warranty seemed kinda weird to me.
