They do warranty them but I'm tired of sending them in and paying shipping for a product that's just not up to par for the cost. What other sunglasses brands would ya'll recommend these days? Im right there with you. On my third warranty pair and both of my rubbers are completely destroyed.

I've had them ~5 years and that was probably 3 years ago. I got a pair of Waterland Hybros for Father's Day that I'm digging so far. They're much lighter than my Costa's. Time will tell if they hold up. If you happen to order a pair online their website, code "AD15" will save 15%. Half Past First Cast ^^^Worth a look^^^

I used to get about a year out of Costa before they fell apart. The Maui’s I have are 3 years old and doing great. They have no rubber on the frames. Costa does have several frames without the rubber that you can go with. Failure was always the rubber unless I just destroyed them. Last edited by Fishspanker; 07/03/21 11:33 PM.

Polarized plastic lenses, but if I scratch or lose them, I can buy more for $200 less than Costa's. I will only use them for fishing. Every piece of Costa's apparel I have ever bought has been total junk. From what I have read, their sunglasses may be the same. I told my wife the brand is really "Costa Too Much!" I have owned two pairs of Maui Jim's and they have been expensive, but high-quality sunglasses. IslandJim I'm an Eighth Day Adventist. On the Eighth Day, God went fishing!
