I went to BP to try out some Costas and can't seem to find a frame that fits me very well. Bummer! Also, I looked on Costa's web site and it seems that the only way to get blue or green 580 lenses is to get the glass. Is this correct? If so, what would be the next best color? Amber, copper, or gray? I do not really want glass lenses. I'll keep looking but I may have to go with the Oakleys since they fit very well.

I had the costas and loved the lenses but like you they just didn't fit well. I went to Oakleys and love them. I don't think the lenses are quite as good as 580's lenses but I like the fit/frames of the oakleys and don't have a headache at the end of the day.

I have the 580 poly in the Fathom frames. Fits perfect and worth the money.

I just bought the blackfins 580 glass a few hours ago. They seem to fit my face very well. I have a hard time finding glasses that wont slide off or they look to big. They also had them in the 580p in a few colors. The blue and green lens are more for ocean water, I thought. I'll let you know how they work out this weekend. I have a pair of oakley hijinks I have only warn twice I will make you a great deal on.

I bought the 580 Frigate glass amber lens from BPS before the Mega Bass tourney and they are awesome. Fit perfectly, I could see easily in 4 to 5 foot of water. I really like the snap on clips that keep the wind and glare from coming in the side.

I'm telling you guys that you owe it to yourself to try a pair of NUMA'S. I assure you that they have a frame that is comfortable and will fit everyone. Plus lifetime warranty and less expensive

spend a little more and go Maui Jim, I've worn them for 20 years and recently switched to prescription, good warranty, good front/back reflective.

I love the lens quality of the 580s, but hated the weight of them. My frames didnt fit me very well either but that was my fault for going for the stylish look! LOL
My Wiley X P17s fit me perfect and I love them, and they are so light I never get headaches from wearing them all day!

With all that said I would love to see and try some of these new 580 composite lenses! That would be great as the 580 glass is really clear.
Thanks
