Super User Teal Posted June 3, 2013 Super User Posted June 3, 2013 Dont skimp dude. I wear Costas. And i will not look back, but i do own some less expensive glasses that i feel good about. Calcutta sunglasses are great for 25bucks. The new S11s seem nice for 40. I own the calcuttas, dont have S11s ...yet... If you cant afford Costa or Oakley, look at the WileyX glasses or SolarBat glasses, they seem like they would be great and are in the middle price range wise between the S11 and Costas. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted June 3, 2013 Super User Posted June 3, 2013 What brand of glasses do you use? I don't want to spend $200 if I dont have to. Are the more expensive one's really worth it? Costa. I didn't want to spend the money either, but last year I did, and I haven't regretted it for a minute. Look, buy Costas on ebay from a legit seller (99.7% rating and up is my thing) and you'll pay a LOT less than full retail (like at BPS). I bought my 580g glasses via eBay for like $160. Quote
Bonifas9017 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Strike king s11 are great just got some from ***. When they had there Memorial Day sale Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted June 3, 2013 Super User Posted June 3, 2013 I picked me up some strike king s11 they r great for the price as numerous people stated Quote
BrettD Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 The tackle trap is an authorized dealer and they where close to the price I found on ebay. I have bought 4 pair of costas from them in the past year Quote
Gavin S. Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 The tackle trap is an authorized dealer and they where close to the price I found on ebay. I have bought 4 pair of costas from them in the past year I see no sign of Costas on their website. Quote
BrettD Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I see no sign of Costas on their website. You have to call them ask for Brian. Quote
Eddie-NoVA Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I've been using the S11's this season and am pretty happy with them so far. I use to own a pair of Ray Ban's until they went overboard. The only thing I've noticed is weight and less clearer the lens are on the S11 vs my old RB's. The S11's are a good buy at $40, but a GREAT buy at $25 when it's on sale. Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 if you dont need prescription sunglasses youre lucky and have a much wider variety of selection as far as price goes. i got a pair of prescription ray bans that cost me an arm and a leg lol. i believe they cost around $350-400... Quote
gripnrip Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I am using the SK11's at the present time. I am purchasing a pair of costas next year tho. Quote

Well dang it...something else I gotta hide from the wife...lol Think ill try the Costas. What color lens is best? I fish mostly clear water lakes. Light stain from time to time, but many times gin clear highland reservoirs. Quote
BrettD Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Green mirror with the amber tint with the 580 lenses or silver mirror with copper base. Quote
katmandew Posted June 4, 2013 Author Posted June 4, 2013 Green mirror with the amber tint with the 580 lenses or silver mirror with copper base. Why green? Also don't see any 580g's on eBay in green with amber tint. Quote
derekxec Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 the green mirror is amber/copper on the inside and green mirror on the outside https://www.costadelmar.com/perform/color click each color and it will tell you what its good for and what color is on the inside and outside like the green mirror has a copper/amber inside so when you look through it its amber not green and the blue mirror is grey inside etc 1 Quote
