Id get the costa's. I've worn them for so long that I notice a difference in the lease clarity of my oakley radar's. You won't be sorry.

I know a lot of people have their favorites. I have had Costas, Solar Bats, etc. on the expensive ones. One of the best one I have used that were polarized and good bedfishing glasses were Maui Jims. My partner has a pair of Bolle that he swears by. He also has a pair of Wiley X that really likes. Solar Bat is one of the only companies that makes a polarized yellow lens for cloudy days. I have a pair of them and two pairs of Berkleys that are yellow.
If money is an issue, Strike King makes some good pairs of polarized sunglasses on their upper end of glasses that are quality.

Went from Strike King's to Costa 580G. Costa's are expensive but most of my equipment is.

As far as comparing plastic polarized you won't see to much of a difference between Costa and Oakley. If you want glass then go Costa but expect to pay up.I've owned and sold both brands. I prefer oakley myself. I have a small head and most Costas still fit to tight for me. I would go somewhere that sells many brands and try a few on in different styles.Maui Jim,Wiley X, Amphibia,Spy all make good glasses. It's all preference with these products anymore. If you have a small head, why would most Costas fit too tightly? That seems backwards. If you check the Costa website, they provides size info for each frame. They are not one-size-fits-all. For instance, I wear only a size 7 1/8 hat, so a lot of Costas would be too large for me. I found that the Fathom frame is an excellent medium fit frame that works well for me. Each person will find that frames of a certain size work better for them. Start with the frame size info, not just how the glasses look as far as style.

Surprised no one has mentioned Smith. They have glass lenses that transition when light gets low. Works great for dawn and dusk.

If you are sight fishing, hard to beat the copper 580G from Costa.
Everything on your bass boat is broken......You just don't know it yet.

If you want to try a pair without breaking the bank, check here often. They are a liquidator for many brands & inventory changes often. Oakley's, Kaenon & Costa were all available today. Not every frame - not every lens. But if you find something you like, you save tons. They liquidate fishing also, but only high end fly fishing gear. http://www.steepandcheap.com/sunglassesnice !!!! saved to favorites

I have polarized Oakleys, Spy, Smith, Ray Ban, and the Costas with glass lenses are my favorite for fishing.

I have amber Costas and green maui jims and prefer the maui's for everything. Best glasses I have ever wore for sight fishing. And they made me a great deal on repairing my glasses after my dog destroyed them.

WileyX here. Super light carbon fiber frames. I actually FORGET to take them off sometimes. Very easy to wear all day.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

Costa 580 G. If you fish stained stump infested water-they are your friend.
