so you must really be pissed at Costas to post this same story on multiple sites. I've owned a set of Fisch 580g's for 8 years. I sent them in under warranty 2 years ago because the rubber ear pieces came off and they had discontinued that model so let me pick out any of the other models in the $250 price range. It cost me $11 to do the swap and they DO still have a lifetime warranty..so other than your sunglasses being damaged due to an accident, not sure why you'd expect them to be covered under warranty. I DO know that filling out ANY warranty form online and admitting that the glass was damaged due to an accident will cause the average customer service rep to miss/ignore the other part of your claim. Did you actually call and speak to someone? If so, did you speak to a manager?
I've had two pairs of Maui Jims and they both fit so tight on my head that I get headaches by the end of the day. I've been totally happy with my Costas.

I have a pr. of costa harpoon/580g blue lens if anyone is looking for some. in like new condition, I just can't wear them due to needing rx glasses.
wore them maybe 4-5 times total and they are great glasses.

pm if interested.

WileyX ain’t any better. I have a pair that were less than a year old and they denied a lense warranty. The lenses we’re delaminating around the edges. WileyX told me it due to sun exposure. I said DUH!!!! I wear them in the sun!! Trash can they went.

I’m gonna start buying the StrikeKing polarized disposable glasses from Walmart’s fishing isle.

I have worn Costas Del Mar sunglasses for probably close to 20 years ( I have 4 pairs, 2 of which I wear daily). Over the years things happen, whether its the products fault or mine. I have always had a great experience when I have had to have any service or warranty work done to them, until now.

I was at a friend's daughters birthday party and one of the kids knocked them off of me on accident (my fault). One of the lens cracked (580G) so I needed to send them in and have new lenses put in, which cost me $80 when I broke a lens one other time. Also, the finish was coming off the frames, which is a product defect and Costa has always replaced the frames under warranty and did not cost me anything (I have had to send in Costas several times over the years for warranty work).

So I filled out the info through www.costadelmar.com and sent them pics of the frame defect and of the cracked lens. Their response was that my sunglasses were out of warranty, but they would sell me a new pair for $196.26.

They did the exact same thing to one of my friends.

I am done with Costa.

Everyone be very careful with your Costa because if something happens to your sunglasses this will probably happen to you.
