I got a pair with the 580P's while shopping with my wife at Macys. They were on clearance for $60.

For fishing, I like the Costas. But for driving I perfer the Oakleys. JMO! smile

+1 on the green inshore and without a doubt go glass... I bought mine then had to buy my wife some for Christmas because she loved them so much. The real test....go down to the lake and look down into the water. The clarity of glass comes through. I fish lakes up here but go down and fish the bays and you won't hardly find anyone fishing the bays alot that don't either wear costa or maui jims. jmho

the 400 series are a poly carbonate. the 580 was originally glass only till they came out with the 580P. I have had a pair of the 580's for years atleast 4 or 5 years and not a scratch they are a little heavy but not uncomfortable.

all im basing my opinion on is my friends glass lenses they are pissed off at lol... my bro barely dropped his from like 3ft. and the lens cracked bad.. i've dropped my 580p's from higher and nothing happened... also my other buddy has the corbina frame i think with the glass and his are "spiderwebbing" all around the lenses where they enter the frame.. it's almost more like sunburst instead of spiderweb.. his are not even a year old... i was thinking of getting a glass pair until i saw these downsides.. ultimatly i think whatever you get you will be happy! costas are bad [censored] shades

i got my pair of black tripletail with the blue mirror 580G lenses. I got them brand new for $150 (thank god for dealer prices) and they are phenomenal off shore and have been great for me sight casting and fishing beds during the spring spawn at a few lakes around here. Next purchase is gonna be with the green 580 lenses. well worth the money

Can someone explain to me why Costa sunglasses are so expensive and why they're so popular? What's the big deal about them?

Hi...,

Costa 580 lens are the best sunglasses as they are more comfort to wear. You can prefer blue sunglasses, as they are visible in low light conditions also.
