I have the Mag Bays in 580g Green Mirror that I where every day. They're very comfortable but I also have a jug head (7-5/8 ball cap).
I have another pair with the Sunrise Silver lens but I don't remember which frames they are.

Ok so next dumb question, being an avid Oakley guy, they make frames you can easily remove lenses, does Costa do this? Again zero experience with Costas...

I like mine. On my third pair of the glass lenses. After about a day, I got used to the weight.

I’ve used Reefton frames and have the 580p. A good buddy of mine loved the frames and got 580g. Ultimate I would have gone with glass lenses because they don’t feel much heavier on the face. I have a small bridge on my nose which isn’t great for most frame styles but these work wonderful!

Go somewhere that has a bunch of them and try on different ones. Everyone’s face is different. Pick frames then worry about lenses.

I used to be a SolarBat guy...they are great glasses. Then I got my first pair of Costa 580g Fantails. Let me say the clarity is amazing, but like others have said the weight takes some getting used to. I have multiple pairs of Costa...Fantail, Reeftons, and Jose. The Jose are massive for my head. They seem to fall off too easily. I prefer the Fantails as they hug my face more and need less adjustments when being worn all day. The reeftons are fairly new to me, so I'll hold off on the review.

I bought a pair of costa fantails with the 580G lenses this summer after a lifetime of wearing pretty much only Oakleys. The 580g lenses are far clearer than any Oakley I’ve ever worn and the fantails fit well and are comfortable. I do find them heavier, but not uncomfortable by any means.
My biggest complaint with the Costas is I can’t keep the lenses from constantly fogging up. I feel like I’m wiping them clean every 5 minutes.
