BassThumb Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Good deals. My dad and I have Costa 580s and I've never paid more than $120 on eBay. They're always on sale somewhere. Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted March 2, 2017 Super User Posted March 2, 2017 Sold me. Thanks for the link! Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted March 2, 2017 Super User Posted March 2, 2017 You fella's may want to check the reviews for this website. Lots of claims of bad service and glasses being knock-offs. 1 Quote
Big Swimbait Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 I've bought 4 pairs over the years without issue. They are a major discounter of many brands of high end outdoor gear. I went to the Classic shortly after I bought my first pair & took them to the Costa booth. They verified them. I have bought boots & camping gear from them also at great savings. They also discount fishing gear, but unfortunately it's only high end fly fishing. Not saying others have not had issues. Heck, I've had issues with BPS & Cabelas. But I have never received knock-offs. They also sell many different lines of sunglasses - Oakley, Smith, Native Eyewear & others. As big and as long as their presence has been on the web, I am sure the Feds or the manufacturers would have shut them down by now if they were not legit. 2 Quote
Super User fishwizzard Posted March 2, 2017 Super User Posted March 2, 2017 I bought a ton of assorted outdoor gear from them and never had an issue. However I'm done buying sunglasses online, as I have never lucked out out and found a pair that doesn't pinch my head. Quote

Pretty sure all, if not most, of the frames are made in Taiwan. 2 Quote

I saw that as well, so I did a quick google search and found that Costa frames are made in Taiwan. I believe the lenses are made in Florida. 2 minutes ago, unhallowed said: Pretty sure all, if not most, of the frames are made in Taiwan. Beat me too it. 1 Quote

I have been buying a lot of my backpacking/hiking gear from them for years with no issues. Steep and Cheap is the discount site for Backcountry.com who is as reputable as REI, EMS, etc. 1 Quote
