jeremyryanwebb Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 I was an all oakley guy for years. Then one day I was working a fly fishing expo and a guy from Smith Optics was there so I tried some on. I havent felt the same about Oakley lenses ever since. The Smith Optics sunglasses opened my eyes to a whole new world, give em a shot. Quote
Super User CWB Posted June 7, 2014 Super User Posted June 7, 2014 My son has Oakleys because they are "in" and "cool". I have two pairs of Strike Kings that together probably cost 1/4 of the Oakleys and I don't notice a difference. In fact I think the Strike Kings are better on overcast days. To each his own. Quote
blongfishing Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 I have both brands and I have tried both. My opinion is I like costas much better. My eyes are sensitive to sun. I wore Oakley for 3 months before getting my Costas. After I got my costas I left the oKleys in my boat as a back up because costas were better for my sensitive eyes and I think they are better as far as seeing in water and eye protection. Quote
MDBowHunter Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 I would buy a pair of Maui Jim's over either one of them. Quote
LMB KING Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 I've said this before. Costa del mar makes the best sunglasses in the world. The G series are made of glass not plastic, but they offer plastic as well. What makes them superior than any company is the patents that they have. They have a patent that blocks the yellow light so that makes you see better and have less fatigue on you eyes. So that makes other companies automatic prone to quality to costa's. I had jims, oakleys, and wiley x. their no where near to the quality of costa's Quote
HeavyFisher Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 I LOVE my 580G Cabalitto's. I have a set of Oakleys to but the image quality can't compare. Quote
