Glass 580's in Green Mirror/Copper base are probably best all around.

I have worn nothing but Oakleys for 20 years.
Still have a few pair, but when I am on the water the new 580 blows anything Oakley has away from a standpoint of staying clean, construction of the frame, and visual clarity.
I have both the blue mirror and the green...green is best all around but I do love the blue in the bright sun.
Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.

Oakly's are number one in my book they have better frames and their lenses are 20 times better than costa's

I own 3 different costa's for different applications. The best all purpose is the Harpoons with 580 lens, green mirror. No doubt the best glasses I own. You will not be disappointed.

I just bought my Costa 580s with green mirror. I needed Rx so I had to wait, but the wait was well worth it. The frame style is Swordfish. All frame styles are geared toward personal prep, but the Rx in 580s is new this year! Get your Costa on and go fish!

I recently upgraded from 400 green fathoms to a pair of 580 blue fathoms. I kind of wish I had gotten the 580 green fathoms now. Eye strain just seemed less with the green lenses.
