BEST.....Costa 580s, green lenses, black frame. The tortoise frames let in a little too much light for my liking in the summer, they make good winter glasses and/or driving glasses but not so good for the lake in my opinion.

they aren't costas but the Oakely straight jacket with the shallow blue lens is awesome, the shallow blue is the best lens i have ever had, cuts glare and lets you see in the water great. I suggest them to anyone

I like my Maui Jims. I have these in the Tortoise and HCL Bronze lenses. I've had Costas, Ray Bans and Oakleys and they can't compare to these. They are very light weight. I wear them everyday and to fish with. They are PolarizedPlus2 also. My Choice

Maui Jim. Got stingrays and could not imagine a better pair. Glass lenses are easy to clean and color/clarity is the best out there. lifetime warranty too!

I have an Amber set of Maui Jim Sunset that I like. I am looking maybe to get the Polarized Plus 2 set.

I have also looked at the Costa 580 Fathoms.
