I am just the opposite on mine.

Most every other brand of sunglasses are too light for my preference.

The Prism Deep Water lenses are the lightest of the Oakley's that I have. thumb

The shallow water have more of an amber tint but they don’t cut nearly as much light. I use them on cloudy days but they would probably serve better in bed fishing situationsz

I have not found anything I like better than Costa 580P in silver mirror. I use the green mirror for sight fishing.

I’d never heard of Gargoyle until this thread. Looks like they have a very Costa-like warranty:

I am intrigued by this brand and will probably try them the next time I need a new pair of shades.

They were pretty popular about 30 years ago. I didn't know they were still around. May have to look into a pair myself.

Exactly, Costas 580G green mirror amber lens. I had some Amphibia's but the coating got all weird on them. Now that I have a couple pair of Costas there is no need for me to try out any other brand.
