Life's too short for wearing cheap arse sunglasses. Your eyes are worth the quality, imo.

Not sure what your budget is but Steepandcheap.com has been blowing out Costas lately for under $100.00. The Srike KIng S11's are great for the money - usually less than $30 on Amazon.

They carry most brands at great prices if another pair of Costas is not your thing. https://www.steepandcheap.com/sunglasses?p=gender%3Amale%7Cbrand%3ACosta&nf=1

I've bought the Pugs polarized for years, they have been between $20 and $30 and cheap enough to toss when they get scratched. They're probably going to go up in price though, I see them starting to be advertised on some of the fishing shows, that's a sure sign of a price increase. hammer

I sure wish someone would make cheap ones in prescription like they do the cheap reader glasses. With my prescription changng every year, it would get real expensive to buy a pair of good sunglasses and regular ones too.

We know from the inside that Strike King has spent plenty on the best polarized coatings in the inexpensive sunglass market. There are a variety of SK models and the simplest method is the cost dictates the quality with all of those above mid range having the better coatings. They will not last like the expensive models of others.

We were a Hobie dealer and cooperated with them when they did the Sight Master Series with yellow lenses. Those were a takeoff an older cheap brand glass sunglasses pair. Costa is now a part of the sunglasses conglomerate and all of their lenses are good and they make their own lenses. They also make a lens for another company that takes an extra step in the coating process that Costa and RayBan don’t, that is Vicious. Dr. Doug (eye doc) at Vicious has them make his lenses and he did a tremendous amount of research on the lense coating.

If we wanted the very best inexpensive lense that would be Strike King. If we wanted the best easy to access quality pair then Costa is good and there are others. If we were after the best pair and the best fit, we would let Vicious get someone to fit us up.

Had a pair of strike kings on at the beach a few weeks ago. Went into the surf and they got wet. Dryed them off with a t shirt and the polarized coating rubbed off too. Spotted vision. Trashed em.

Can believe nobody has mentioned the the Renegade brand glasses also sold at Walmart. They are a great deal for the $19.95 they sell for. Clear, thick POLYCARBONATE lens, coatings that last - unlike the strike kings selling for the same price. They come in a hard case.

I’ve watched several pair of $100+ sunglasses go overboard, ouch. Give them Renegades a look.

Google Shady Rays. I got 2 pair of the x-series for the price of one (about $50-60). They have a lifetime warranty which even includes losing them (no joke). So far I have no complaints. They are about as good as my Costa 580P’s. Just google shady rays coupons too and you’ll get a code to enter for 50% off order.
